I’m travelling from interstate, with my 11 year old son, for his first ever game at the MCG against the Blues on Sat night 12 August. He really wants to try and get a signature from any of the Dees players before the game, during the first warm up. I don’t want him to get his hopes up, but are there any chances of this happening? How do you go about doing it? Where’s the best place to wait for players? And what time do the players do their first warm ups. Appreciate any advice!! Go Dees!! 💪🔴🔵🔴🔵

Maybe contact the club to see what can be done. Failing that, I'm sure one of the wonderful Demon Army that post here can give you some tips.  Even if by DM. 

Good luck.

Some players do oblige and are happy to sign or pose for a quick photo during their first warm-up usually an hour or so before the bounce. Get there early if you can and just yell out like the little fella below.

As DZ said (above) you’d need to get there super early. They usually start warmups about an hour and a half before the game. We’ll be in bay M33 for the Carlton match so regardless of where your seats are, if you can pop down to the front of bays 32 - 34, (which is behind the goals as they spend a lot of time practicing set shots) there’ll be a good chance of plenty of room at the fence since it’ll be so early.

I have had a reserved seat for a while .If l want to go to the Carlton game, do l have to buy a ticket through Ticketek or can l turn up to the ground and buy a general admission ticket - if they still exist?Thanks

It’s their home game, your reserved seat doesnt exist on the night.  Buy your ticket either way, but with this mob being up and about, i expect a big crowd….

Have them run onto the ground. Security surely won’t tackle a little kid 🤪

Security won’t even catch him. Case in point…

Can't find the vid of it but while looking for it I found these comments…

Are you positive that our cheersquad will be in M33 (punt road end) as it's our Away game? Doesn't our cheer squad usually sit at the City end for away games (M3-M5)?

We sit in M3 for home games (Southern Stand end) and M33 for away games (Ponsford Stand end). This is decided on by the home side, in this case, Carlton.

When it’s our home game we spill out into M2 and M4.

Sorry. My apologies. I was reading the map on the Ticketek website wrong.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
