Demonland

Did I mentioned there is nothing to see here?

That's a tricky and risky one. I've never seen them check the tickets at the footy in regards to adult and junior/concession and the entry barcode machines at the G don't appear to have any indication on the other side as to whether the barcode scanned is a child or adult. At Etihad there are screens above that say child or adult. Having said that I don't know if this will be different at the Grand Final or if they will check it at the entry to the bay. Depends on the sharpness of the attendant. I'd be nervous about risking it but it's your call. Demonland accepts no responsibility.

They are most likely using an auto emailer to send all the information out so depending on your surname people will get them at staggered times. Mine is early on in the alphabet.

As long as you know your membership barcode (on the reverse of your membership card) then the link above has all the relevant information you need. Wednesday is the allocated day and your allocated time depends on your type of membership.

Jetta and Neal-Bullen too. ? https://www.triplem.com.au/sport/afl/news/demons-ruckman-max-gawn-missing-from-melbourne-training?station=melbourne

I'm not sure how this helps the players during the game.

Check your email. You should have received an email with your membership barcode and the time you need to register which depends on your membership type. From the Email: It is important to note that it does not matter what time you register within your allocated registration time, as this will have no bearing on either the category of tickets you are allocated or the likelihood of success in the ballot process. There is no need to be concerned if you are placed in a queue Instructions on the registration process are here: https://s.afl.com.au/staticfile/AFL%20Tenant/Melbourne/PDF/Grand%20Final%20Ballot%20Guide.pdf

I don't think you would. I'd assume that the Priority 1 memberships would get allocated first (Before Priority 2) as they are guaranteed a seat. If as a P1 you selected Category 1 (highest priced tickets) you would get allocated one of those if available. If none are left by the time you get randomly selected then you will be given Category 2 and so on. If you selected C1 and got given a C3 you obviously only have to pay C3. I would assume that you are less likely to get a C1 if you are trying to secure 8 tickets together IF you are selected later in the random ballot. This is all conjecture of course.

Is the "one in all in" or "one out all out" relevant to "Guaranteed" seats?

The ballot will be done and dusted before the podcast but not a bad suggestion.

Round 22 said partly cloudy and 20-22 and it looked like this. Section across the ground is the 140s bathed in sunshine.

Hopefully my sunburn will be worth it. I still owe you a beer. Hopefully I can make it 2.

For Ticketmaster yes. It will show up eventually. Happens every time I buy a ticket for any type of event using Ticketmaster.

I usually like to sit 1 level up too but I sat on the wing 13 rows back in Round 22 and they were superb seats. Pro tip for those on the 140s side. It will be bathed in sunshine if not cloudy and with 25 degrees forecast you will need a hat, sunnies and sunscreen.

I'm Section 145. Might have 2 x 354 Row 1. Expensive though.

I may have 2 x Section 354 Row 1 seats. Expensive though.

I'm section 145.

I just wish commentators would stop referring to Jetta as being underrated and just start rating him.

Traveling emergencies will not stay in Perth to watch the game.

The Casey Demons braved a tough afternoon in front of a hostile crowd and in mainly inclement weather to win a hard fought battle by 8 points against Essendon VFL at Stannards Stadium, Port Melbourne on Saturday to advance to their second grand final in three years. Over the course of the afternoon, players and spectators alike experienced sunshine, gloomy overcast skies, gusty winds and pouring rain; conditions that suited the Demons as their hard-bodied experienced relished the intensity of finals pressure. Casey went into the game with two changes that added to the team’s depth - experienced campaigners Bernie Vince (back from an AC joint issue) and Jay Kennedy Harris gave them a list of 12 current AFL players. They again left out Mitch King and went with an undersized ruck combination that served them well given the conditions despite being well beaten on the day in tap out numbers. The Demons opened strongly with Jeff Garlett’s mark and goal against the wind but the Bombers fought back as the lead seesawed for much of the opening term and Casey held the narrowest of leads at quarter time. The Bombers nudged in front immediately after the break but the Dees gained the ascendency to lead by 11 points after Mitch Gent’s goal at the 20 minute mark of the second term. The margin would have been greater but for poor kicking for goal. It was at that point that Essendon fought its way back into the game with two goals against the wind to allow them to go into the sheds at the half time break with the teams locked together at 39 points each. On the other side of the main break, with the rain pouring, it was the Bombers who took advantage of the wet weather conditions. They were quicker to the fall of the ball and manufactured two goals, one off the ground in the first minute and dominated the first 20 minutes of the term until Cam Pedersen stepped to turn the tide in as he has often done this season. With his team trailing by 13 points, having been led to the ball and outplayed on both sides of half time, Pedersen hauled in a huge mark in front and converted. Moments later, Garlett screwed one through over his shoulder and suddenly, it was game on again. A lapse at a boundary throw in gave the unattended Bomber ruckman a free shot a goal but that was cancelled out when Pedersen was freed in front of goal after an Essendon defender’s brain fade in running through a deliberate point. The margin was a solitary point in favour of the Bombers at the final break. With the wind at their backs, it was the experienced Demons who led the team home with their persistence and strong tackling. First it was Jimmy Munro who kicked truly just 37 seconds into the final term to restore the lead which Casey held onto for the remainder of the game. They pushed forward time after time, inspired by veteran Bernie Vince who finished with 22 possessions, 13 of them contested. Pedersen was indefatigable In the ruck against taller opponents and Munro, with 21 tackles to match his disposal count, was simply magnificent in the hard slog. Tom Bugg and Jay Kennedy Harris were strong while Joel Smith defended stoutly and his goal saving smother when the Bombers threatened was a highlight. The Wagner brothers, Corey and Josh belied their northern state origins and were important players and handled the ball well in the greasy conditions. Garlett booted his third as time on ticked by to give his team a game high lead of 14 points before a late Bomber goal saw the siren sound moments later with Casey home by a margin of eight points. Peter Jackson VFL Coach of the Year, Jade Rawlings worked hard to vindicate the decision of the selection committee and lead his charges into the VFL grand final next Sunday at Etihad Stadium. In his time as a player and coach, he has never experienced premiership success but if things go according to plan, that will all change in seven day’s time.
