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.

If nothing else he can be one of those guys they interview at half time in a polo.

Brisbane 24c is predicted for 7pm tomorrow night. Perfect conditions for footy.

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.

I’m older than Gawny. I’m old enough to be his much older sister. 😉

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