Virgin had a triple status points promotion a few weeks ago and in a desperate desire to take advantage I reached for the AFL schedule and spontaneously booked 1 ticket to Brisbane to see us play the LIons. I arrive midday Friday and leave Sat morning.

I have booked cheap accommodation a 10 minute walk away. I'm on my own (can't believe I got the leave pass from Mrs BIg Col but I don't look a gift horse in the mouth)

Only thing I haven't organised is footy tickets, although I'm also keen on catching up with Dees fans when there. So ...
1/ How do I get tickets that are around Dees fans? Is there an allocation?
2/ Are there any functions or pubs or hang outs that Dees fans are likely to congregate?

3/ Any D'Landers who want to catch up before or after for a beer etc ?

4/ Anything else to know?


 

 

Go Big Col! 
Straight up off the mat after Monday’s schemozzle and back on that red and blue pony!

I salute you!

Yeah... I've only just wandered back on....
Ticket already booked
I oddly feel more comfortable when I don't think we're a premiership chance anymore. I might be able to enjoy games again!

Is your accommodation far away from the Pineapple Hotel?

Fair. But tbh we’ve not been close so far this year. 
Had a thought that with Trac out, and the pressure kinda off, the boys might relax, click and start enjoying their footy again…

Hears hoping they do in Brisvegas with you watching…

This is where many Dees fans congregate before and after the match. It’s definitely where Demon Army members meet.

I'm at the Paramount Motel which I believe is about 3 minutes walk away!

Oh, I will be there! Do you know how to ensure I'm seated with decent (ie Melbourne) people?

That's your target pub then. Usually a good amount of Dees supporters, especially after the game. Good pub too.

Dont want to speak for Demon Deb, but the Qld Demons function is usually around the Gold Coast game.

That’s where I usually stay but I heard it had closed down (?) so I’ve booked elsewhere this time.

Brisbane crowd are pretty sedate. I usually get the best tickets I can and go with it.

Now you've got me worried. I booked through a third party online site and they've accepted my booking (made 2 weeks ago). I'm going to have to follow that up.

We’re in section 16/17 behind the goals (gate 8).

Definitely do!

I’ve stayed there a few times but when I rang to book for our round two match last year I was told they no longer operate. I’d be rapt if they were still operating because it’s a unique place. It’s got Bates Motel vibes.

Col, if you are there for a few days and you like a beer (and a pork knuckle), the German Club is across the road from the Gabba. Too busy for me on game days, but a nice old club. You will be staying close.

We have a generous allocation so if you’d like to sit with us you can email

All good, Col. I rang the Paramount and they are still in business, so your booking should be fine.

What happened was, they closed temporarily for renovations and the new managers are running it now. This is great news except for one thing, it’s no longer a replica of Bates Motel 😭 which was the reason I loved staying there.

We shoulda done this too but alas we (7 of us) will be sitting upper tier, aisle 416 through gate 9.

there’s usually a good smattering of dees supporters up there although last year there were a couple of obnoxious so called lions supporters that left at half time thank goodness

N.B. they were definitely lost - I’m sure they got the Gabba mixed up with Suncorp stadium and thankfully took their s$!t talking there!!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
