Sydney game pre match meet up

in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Hi all!

I’m heading up to Sydney for round 0 and wondering who else on here is going too?

There’s no organised pre match meet up as demon army will be busy getting everything ready and nsw demons not being able to do so either being a Thursday night.

I’d love to organise a meet up place with any other demon fans going up during the day and have a few pre game drinks if anyone Is interested :)

    Myself and 25 mates from Torquay starting at the London Hotel in Paddington.

    Approx 23 minute walk to the SCG.

    Thanks for initiating the question. It warms my heart to think of Melbourne supporters flooding into Sydney for the match. 
    Typically there would be an event beforehand, but not the case for this Thursday night fixture. 

    Considering the location, there are not a heap of options on the southern and western sides of the SCG. The best one is Watson's in the Entertainment Quarter. Otherwise, the numerous Paddington pubs Bat and Ball, Captain Cook, etc. on-route from the north and east. 

    All options will likely be crawling with plucky Swans supporters wearing #4 (Grundy) jumpers...

    This match must be close to sold out. The DA gets an allocation from the opposition at away games, this varies with each team. The Swans have already asked us to finalise our numbers soon which means they’ll ask for unused tickets and that usually signals a sellout.

    Smart move 👍🏽 Don’t forget… we don’t sit behind the goals at the SCG. We’re just around from the goals, in the pocket. ♥️💙

    I hear ya. I was concussed last year by an Izak Rankine ball to the head. I wasn’t knocked unconscious but I had double-vision for a few minutes. It’s why I call Bay M3 the Bay of Carnage. 😁

    Sounds good, we'll sort something out!

    I'm sitting in the Melbourne area, but not via Demon Army, but I have a feeling it's the same place.

    Weel done to those who are travelling for the game, never been to the SCG but seems like a great place to watch footy.

    I’m heading down from Brisbane for the game, I always try and get to the first game of the year.  Never been to the SCG before.  Keen for any suggestions for decent pubs close to the ground, I’ll be waiting on a swans supporter to finish work so I’ll be drinking solo somewhere 🤣

    Thanks for that!

    Members of the Demon Army who aren’t involved in pregame setting up will be at Watson’s EQ, as well as after the match along with those who stay back to pack up who’ll be there a little later.

    If you do decide to go, don’t worry about not knowing anyone there. You’ll be warmly welcomed by an awesome bunch of crazy beautiful Dees diehards.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
