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…

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.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
