    With the country family membership you get one free ticket (per family member) to an interstate game in which Melbourne is playing. This is that one game?

    Regardless, try to get to the ground really early and if you have an issue PM me and I’ll see if my DA BFF can do something to help. 

    I used mine for this one but Josh can use his at the Suns game.

    Need a big night from the local Brissy Demons as the Lion players are gonna come after HP big time i reckon.

    Likely to get pretty willing early me thinks and he'll be a target throughout the match.

    Hope the boys are mentally prepped for this to happen

    Unfortunately, I can’t see a big crowd there tomorrow night. The new NRL team (the Dolphins) are 3-0 in this, their inaugural season. They play the Broncos at the same time as our match. I imagine that game will pull a big crowd. I reckon many Lions fans who would otherwise attend our match will probably choose to attend the NRL game.

    Well just like Beard in this forum who predicted all doom and gloom about our crowd last week vs Bullies ( a very respectable 48,103 with at  least  38,000 or more Dees fans ) WCW the fact is nearly all tickets have been sold. On AFL 360 Monday night GW mentioned that over 30,000 tickets had already been sold and only 2,000 remained. 

    While no doubt there are some fans that attend both codes there is not necessarily a huge crossover on nights like this. Also a reasonable % of the sold out Lang Park crowd are new team Dolphins new fans as it is their home game. Broncos fans have ensured its capacity of about 53,000 reached no doubt. ( 3 weeks ago the Dolphins drew 34,000 to their opening game at Suncorp I believe) 

    WCW Brisbane's population is over 2 million people and if you add Gold and Sunshine Coasts at least 2.75 million. They are very enthusiastic about quality sport in their city even though their Test Cricket crowds are probably  behind Adelaide and Perth. 

    All in all about 85,000 could attend both games tonight so that is  equivalent to the 86,000 Which attended the Cats/Pies blockbuster last Friday night. 

    Pretty damn good for about half of Melbourne's population. 

    The  wash up of fans could well be  Broncos 30,000 Lions 29,000 Dolphins 23,000 and Dees 2/3,000. 

    A balmy 25deg is predicted at first bounce just hot enough for you to be on top voice WCW and our team in peak form to trounce the home team who generally are not tough enough against our champion bulls on the ball. 

    PS I have lived in Brisbane 30 years on 28 April (which it has doubled its population in that time ) after moving for work in 1993. 

    Didn't stop me from being at the G last Sat to enjoy one of the best and most enthusiastic Demon crowds support our team and start their redemption ride in 2023 for the 2023 Flag. 

    Go Dees and HP will be alright .

    Thanks 58er. Got our Fisherman’s Friends and Red Bulls and we’ll be good to go. I’ll probs be delirious by game time since I haven’t slept. But a second wind will work wonders (maybe a 9th or 10th wind🥴).

    Cut to me nana-napping at quarter time using a flogger as a pillow😁

    GO THE MIGHTY DEMONS!!!!

    Pulled from the website information;

    Interstate members can apply for 1 free ticket to a game in their state if Melbourne is scheduled to participate.

     

    Considering we live in Victoria I assume that means either Etihad (or whatever it's called now) or Skilled Stadium (or what ever that's called now 🤦🏽‍♂️)

     

    Ah well looks like we are lining up 😂

    You live in country Victoria. In regards to your membership It’s the same as being an interstate member. So that doesn’t apply to Marvel, nor the ‘G (you get to attend five matches at the ‘G anyways). So this match is an option for you.

    WCW and I and the rest of the Demon Army will be down by the goal (near section 211 and 213)!  Come join us 😁

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
