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.

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

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?

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.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
