Hi Everyone.

This ground is the second last ground I haven't been too and I'm heading over.

Will the Deez have any functions or hospitality available at the ground?

Which end do the cheer squad sit and how can obtain tickets to either of these areas?

Any other areas of the ground should I look at that may be an option?

Cheers

i went a couple of years ago to the Tomlinson Tragedy Match at Blundstone Arena and to be fair it was during Covid so not many fans from either side but my memory is the border was open to Vic (I am a Tassie Dee BTW - I'm the lucky chap who went to Perth WA for you know what!). 

One tip for you, is to take the public bus/shuttle from the city (there are stacks of 'em) as parking around Blundstone is a major headache

cheers

and I would like to go too but I have my roots in Launceston so too far to Hobart!

    And many supporters gather at the Waterfront Hotel pre-game, right where the ferry docks - then a 10/15 minute walk up to the ground....I don't think tickets will be a problem....

    In 2021 there was barely a Norf fan in the bar.

    It will almost be choose your own seat at the game.

    Hi guys and gals. 

    Yes I have booked into the Customs for the Saturday and Sunday nights.

    The ferry across looks great and memorable.

    Last to tick off if there is any MFC functions for members or pay for some la di da microwaved food at some premium function.

    Grundy Kozz and Melk to kick 12 between them.

    I've stayed at the Art House backpackers before. Just near the ground. Their single rooms were pretty good, and I'm not a backpackers type of person

    It's only a 50 minute drive isn't it?

    This is why I've delayed getting tickets to the game, everything else booked. Excited

    We sit in either 22 or 23.

    23 is the crapola seating (benches) by the hill. Bad area since it’s hard to see over the fence.

    22 is in the stand with tiered seating which makes for good viewing. Downside being they don’t let us have our biggest flags in the stand and have even confiscated them in the past.

    We won’t know where we’re sitting until the day.

    I am going over for the game. Can we just rock up at the gate and buy a ticket like pre covid or do we have to pre book?

    Norff FC  might of been disbanded before we get a chance to play them down at Tassie.

    That club is a steaming pile of dung on a wretched landscape.

    Hawks should of won by 80 points yesterday.

    It’s a Ticketek ground. Ticketing options here…

    That’s it! The bench seats 23-30 are about the worst viewing at a supposedly AFL standard ground you’ll ever see. 

    I miss North Hobart oval! Bring on the new stadium.

    By the look the ferry from Hobart doesn’t go on Sundays.

    Don't worry the Ferry will be running. They won't want to miss out on the Demon faithful dollars. We have done this trip many times and in 2O21 the game was on a Sunday. Depending on where you stay there use to be a free ferry from Wrest Point but I don't know if that's still a thing.

    Depending what time ferry you take a lot of fans go across early and congregate at either the Waterfront Hotel or the Yacht Club both strolling distance to the ground. I also know many people who wander around the Salamanca Market or take in one of the many watering holes around there before taking the last ferry across.

    Of course this is the game that Clarkson decides to come back to coaching them. 

    Does Clarkson coming back magically makes them a top 4 quality side?

    FFS if we can’t beat a bottom 2 team, we can’t win the flag either.

    I'm a local and hate Bellerive Oval.

     

    Saw Gilchrist's 172 against Zimbabwe about 20 years ago.

     

    Chris Gayle knocking stuff out of the ground (or at least on the roof of the stands).

     

    Tassie winning the Shield.

     

    Okay for cricket.

     

    Terrible for AFL tho, rug up even if the forecast is decent weather. The wind is chilly fresh and doesn't help for a good game of football.

    Hi Everyone, I was planning to attend the Melbourne vs North game in Hobart next week, but unfortunately my wife is sick and we won’t be going. I have 2 tickets available if anyone is interested going for just under what I paid for them. They are premium seats in the Ponting Stand. They are yours for $100 in total. Please email me on [email protected]

    cheers.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
