    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: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
