    Be interesting to know why???

    She's here 16th 17th & 18th...

    The only work day is Friday.

    I don't think the shop would hinder the sound check.

    Is it some kind of merch deal? can't sell any other merch apart from Taylor stuff over a given time?

    Can still buy online. 

     

    Must admit I saw the email and thought they'd done a collaboration. Which would have been super smart lol

    The large brown area is where the stage will be.

    The MFC admin staff have to relocate and work from home and/or Casey and/or AAMI for 10 days. No functions will be held during this time. If a room that has windows which overlook the ground does have to be used during the lead-up to the concerts, the windows will be ‘blacked out.’ There are huge black curtains already erected between the concourse and the ground level seating. All this because Mz Swift demands total secrecy. She doesn’t want the details of her spectacle to be known before the event.

    As for the Demon Shop, I was there today and asked about them shutting, and it seems one reason is because it’s not worth opening when there’ll be so few people wandering in and out of the ‘G. (Many people who visit the ‘G incorporate a visit to the Demon Shop.) I don’t know why they’re shutting for such a long time though.

    I'd be flat out knowing any songs she sings, is she actually any good?

    Not my type of music but my understanding is that she’s a really sound person so as long as she takes the Dee’s to be her team I’m happy for her to borrow our ground.

    Of course she's good 'picket'...

    You don't have her level of sustained success if you're not.

    As a result of all the hoo ha in the media, I had to resort to Google to work out who/what she was.

    She's everywhere at the moment. 

    Won't be able to watch the SB on Monday without seeing several shots of her in the audience.

    I know songs by Beyonce, Madonna even Lady Gaga and I'm not into their music at all. I don't know a single Taylor swift song. 

    Male equivalent of Ed Sheeran. Mass produced pop. Both huge. They obviously got talent but more for marketing than singing I'd say. Good luck to them.

    Another reason to get our own facility, so we can (a) have our shop located somewhere that is reasonably accessible and (b) not be forced to shut down by international musicians.

    He may have had "problems", Pickett, but I'm sure that Jimmy fixed it.

    That's where they've taken the drop-in wicket out. The main stage is at the city end.

    It couldn’t be more hidden away if they tried. 😅 If you’re at Gate 6 at the ‘G you go down the steps that take you onto Brunton Ave., turn right on Brunton Ave and walk for about 5 minutes and you’ll find a little inconspicuous shop. Easy to walk straight past it and not notice (or maybe that’s just me 🙃).

    Most importantly… phone ahead of time. They seem to be closed more often than open. Ignore the opening hours notice on the door, and even on the website, it’s not always accurate. I went there yesterday at 4:20 knowing it shuts at 5pm. It was shut and in darkness. I rang them… went to voicemail. I eventually got in but geez they don’t make it easy.

    Spot on. I know people who are going to her concert and who also went to Ed Sheeran’s concert and they aren't even necessarily fans of either. FOMO abounds! 😁

    ....and yet no other international act performing at the MCG resulted in the Demon Shop being closed.  In fact when Billy Joel performed there, his drummer was wearing a Melbourne Guernsey, which he'd bought when he came across the Demon Shop while setting up.

    What time frame are there no functions?  The Coterie Season Launch is advertised as being in the MCC Dining Room on 22 February.

    When Tay Tay tickets went on sale it was like the country was in lockdown all over again. No one on the roads, in schools and playgrounds.

    Her concerts will be done and dusted by then. The veil of secrecy is only there for the lead-up.

    I find it highly amusing she has a "veil of secrecy" given she's performing the same show all around the world.  People bring phones, they post on social media.  She can insist on secrecy all she wants, but unless she's doing completely diffferent shows each night, it's pretty pointless.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
