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!!

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
