I have been a member for 10 years (not long at all compared to others on this site). Whilst I like peoples generosity & willingness to share bar codes, part of me also holds resentment towards those who haven't parted with their hard earned money & are still able to participate when it counts. Just saying.

This is a cut & paste from the email sent by the club this morning "Limit of two (2) tickets per membership You can purchase a maximum of eight (8) tickets in one transaction."

No I believe you can buy 2 tickets per barcode.

Thank you all for your words of encouragements. I particularly liked your suggestion Binman about a night at the Pullman. Yes I should have known better than to marry a hawks supporter. But hey, can't win everything can you. Re my kids, no way in hell would they ever wear the horrid brown & yellow. NEVER EVER EVER. Enough of those around my neck of the woods. Enjoy this exciting time demonlanders. And keep up the (mostly...) brilliant posts. Roll on the finals!

Warning THIS IS A RANT. I have never been to a final before. My husband (hawks) has been to a zillion finals plus 4 grand finals. You know what he said when I told him I would be road tripping it to Sydney if we end up having to play there? "You aren't single anymore, you have a family & kids to look after. Plus your team is not the only team in the finals (i.e. if you go to Sydney I have to stay home & MIND MY OWN CHILDREN & hence will miss out on seeing my team play finals". My response "ok ok, we will cross that bridge if it comes to it, stomped out the room & yelled BUT I AM GOING & YOU CAN'T STOP ME....!!! Bloody selfish poos & wees supporting husband..... Rant over. Thanks for listening my fellow demons :-)

Yes tears. I admit it. But then it is not the first time I have cried watching the eagles. The last time was round 23 last year. Better tears this time!

Whately comes across very articulate & respectful to his audience. I think he resonates well with the female audience (of which I am).

Add Stretch & ANB to that too..... Not great really. 7 out of 18 players...... Need I say more !

I went to the game Tuesday night & just watched the replay of the 1st quarter. I am no expert at footy but the weakest links in the first quarter to me looked to be Vince, Tyson, Harmes, Salem & Brayshaw.

1. I didn't swear in front of my kids when we lost 2. I didn't break the tv in front of my kids when we lost 3. I didn't knock out by hawks supporting partner in front of my kids when we lost That's all folks!

Talk about kicking us poor supporters while we are down......Mine went straight in the bin. But not after my dorks supporting partner made a few smart ass remarks.....Give me strength in my darkest hour!

Thank goodness for this forum. I don't feel so alone in my bloody disappointment

I am a newbie. Signed up in July. And to further put myself out there, I AM FEMALE. I love the dees, hate the hawks & have brainwashed one of my daughters to support the grand old flag. The other daughter is a work in progress....

I feel so sorry for me too deebug. And yes "those" posters really have only one use..... poo & wee wipes

Agree JV7 with your words "let other posters dream of September and talk about it, we haven't had this chance for 11 years". I am loving finally being able to get caught up in the September buzz. It is perhaps made even that bit sweeter by my partners team, the dorks, not being involved. Our house has far too many poo & wee premiership posters.......

My mother in laws. She is a die hard hawks tragic & thinks Jordan Lewis is god. Apparently I orchestrated his deflect to the dees......

It's a long story. My grandfather used to work for the MFC. Us grand kids thought he barracked for them so we started following them too. He in fact barracked for South Melbourne.....Sydney Swans.....recent success........

I remember watching Jetta at a Luna Park family day a few years back. He was there with his partner & young child/children. No fans around him & quite inconspicuous. Don't imagine it will be this way at the next family day..... P.S. 1st post on this site.... long time reader. My love for Jetta took over & compelled me to type
