I know the club is remaining in Adelaide but I would like to return.

thanks

Go Dees!

    All aboard the reality bus!

    I can't make up my mind and the only cheap seats are on the grassy hill - does anyone know if that is Hillbilly Hill at the Adelaide Oval?

    I would love to see us fix up Port as I do with any oppo!

    Have they changed much?

    I could tell you about a bus trip to Sydney in the late 80s organised by the cheer squad but it would most likely be my last post on DL

    Just got a seat for $75 to sit in the nose bleeds behind the goals at the river end.

    Free for MFC members or $35 for the same seat Vs Adelaide in Gather Round 5 days later.

    Stupid question, but what does a GA ticket cost at the G this year.  My tickets are also behind the goals at the river end for my family and in my opinion ticket prices are way too expensive in Adelaide.

    Late 70’s and I would have been on that bus

    Not worth the price, but convenient, comfortable and near facilities and bar/food/vendor-outlets and dunnies (although the latter have been well-hidden in the past). Lots of afternoon sun this time of the year, looking down the ground to the north-west. No, it's not the Southern Stand (MCG) by any means, but still good for individual occupation. Quieter, too, amid a stadium surrounded by the thousands of biased, overly-sensitive and thus rampantly noisy Port supporters with Crows supporters coming a close second. When we play there, Demon supporters tend to assemble providing a civilized collective of applauding reasonableness, good taste, civility and manners, and appreciative wins (depending on the umpires' moods and intents across the game).

    GA is around $27 at the MCG.

    $75 is absolutely expensive for a run of the mill home and away game.

    Take your family of four with no concessions, parking and snacks and booze and you'd be lucky to be under 400 bucks.

    Sheesh

    There are 5 of us, $268, for one game of footy and we are in the cheapest seats you can buy to reserve a seat.  I really think that 15 and 16 year olds should be included in the family ticket.  

    But when all is said and done, I will enjoy every minute of being there.

    Is the Karma Bus still running? Probably gets you there at half-time.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
