very interesting... the bank account could suffer now. any details on it? thanks heaps

Just that they want to make sure they sell the tickets so they've opened up a new bracket in pricing.

This seating will be "non-preferred" but all seating in the crown palladium will be fine. Also all "preferred seating" tables will have a club player or "hero" this isn't a feature of the non-preferred seating.

The club has done it's best to make this seating affordable as they can, but the cost of putting the event on is considerable, given the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra will be performing and it is held in the Crown Palladium, so while it is still quite expensive, the night should be an amazing one.

Before I spoke to him, I set myself a limit that I was willing to pay, which was $300. But I think I'm going to cop the extra $50 and attend.

There will never be a Melbourne FC function like this again, so I really don't want to miss it.

Still probably out of my range as a uni student, but certainly makes it much more likely.

Why doesn't the club raffle a table?

Offers some supporters the chance to attend who normally would not be able to.

I can't afford $500 but will definitely buy $10 or so of raffle tickets for a chance to go. Sell more than $5000 of raffle tickets and club comes out on top.

I called the club today and bought my ticket. I've got a friend coming along too. Really looking forward to it now. Should be a fantastic night.

If you're not sure if you want to go, watch the ad again... listen to the music, it will be an epic night, I have a feeling... $350 tickets are still available...

The club should put this dinner on for free considering the amount of people who have laughed at me for barracking for melbourne all my life! From my days at school in the seventies right up to last week!! $500 you must be joking!!

I would not spend $500 on a dinner night, sorry but its too much, $250 would have been my max.

Tickets are now available for $350... get on board...

Two other points about this dinner, which I also thought was too expensive. A selection team has chosen the best 150 players still alve and they, and their wives/partners, are receiving freebies.The more I think about it, that's fair enough isn't it? BUT it adds considerably to the cost. The MSO will not be playing live-but they will have recorded music for the occasion.
Come on! Let's support it if we can, especially at the new offer of $350

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
