Re point 2, I've been donating that $229 to the club for a number of years, so I think getting funds back either through a sale or through a refund from the club this time (given our inability to use it the one time we make the final), is not unreasonable.

I love that they were all mentioning the fact that he had kicked two of the best goals of his career, and there was still the kick out of the ruck contest to come, which was probably the best of the lot (imo).

You actually said "either sell it on here or forfeit it"... that was the statement that I was correcting. Call me paranoid if you like, but the problem with offering it to some total stranger who has just suddenly joined this group with the sole intention of obtaining a ticket, is that there is no way of knowing whether they are genuine or whether they are obtaining numerous codes from the numerous offers here, with the intention of cashing in on them. It would be nice if there was a topic here that people could post in, to state who they had passed codes on to, to discourage any nefarious activity.

Wrong… if you are unable to attend due to lockdowns prohibiting you from attending, then you’re entitled to a refund. Also, I’m pretty certain they will not be carrying the GFG over to next year; they did carry mine and my son’s over from last year to this year, but I get the feeling that was a one off.

You joined this site in 2018 looking at the possibility of getting tickets in the event that we made it to the GF and now you post here, once again after tickets to this year’s GF… not one single post in the intervening period. If you were a regular, or even intermittent contributor, you might have support, but please don’t use this site, and this goes for all of those coming here solely to get ticket links, as a convenience.

They never had a disaster of these proportions in Summer Bay!!

I notice that now the edit function on that Wikipedia page has been locked 🤣

I mentioned earlier today in this thread that I spoke to the club yesterday and was told an email with all details re ticketing and refunds for GFG etc is being sent out on Sunday.

If we do happen to win the GF. I’d love to see the club beam a live feed of Chunk to the big screen during the presentation, so he can at least be involved in some way.

At first I thought the same, but on viewing the replay, unless Toby has had a few tatts added to his right arm, I think you’ll find that’s not him.

Love that film!! Isle of Dogs.

I phoned the club today… emails with all details of purchasing, passing on barcodes and refunds for those not allowed to attend because of lockdowns, will be sent on Sunday.

I don’t usually feel nervous before a game, but right now I’m feeling it big time!

I think the first game I attended as a kid with my mother, was against St Kilda at Waverley… it was freezing cold, wet and we lost badly. The thing I remember the most was some [censored] behind us threatening to beat some guy senseless in the car park after the game. Best game I attended was much more recent. It was the QB game against the Pies, when Watts goaled from the pocket after running from the flank and sealed what was a close game. Worst game was probably the first game I ever took my son to, which we were expected to win easily. It was the round 1 game in 2013 against Port and was Viney’s debut. We got destroyed by 79 points, and to add insult to injury, Mitch Clark, returning from injury that had kept him out for most of 2012, did his ankle. The only saving grace was seeing Viney score his first goal in Dees colours.

A box of beers for a code that I believe is likely to only be available to someone who has paid the $229 for a Grand Final Guarantee (correct me if I’m wrong)? In the words of Sylvester the Cat, “It is to laff!!”.

Yes, I’m doing that already, but I can only see it getting worse and I really don’t want to have to check every single poster I’m not familiar with.

I’d like to suggest a moratorium on new members joining this site until after the grand final is done and dusted. It’s getting too hard to sort the wheat from the chaff!

If this was Letters & Numbers on SBS, I’d be sadly informing you that you’ve used the letter “A” twice when there’s only one available. EDIT: just noticed the second A… carry on, nothing to see here!

I posted the response I got from the club re what will qualify for a refund of the GFG. Mine and my son's GFGs were rolled over from last year to this year, but on checking the membership page on the club's website, I can only find reference to my GFG (which was $229 by the way), but no reference to that of my son; I'm waiting for a call back in order to sort that out. I seem to recall that in 2018, we got the emails to register for tickets for the GF in the week preceding the Prelim (I guess that was to speed the process up), but as yet I've had no email with regards to that, this year. Have things changed in the way they do this now?

Whoever it is, that lad’s insane!

Edit: curses… too late.

I watch these over and over, knowing that no matter how badly the Dees perform, they’ll never reach these depths…

Maybe they’ve calculated roughly how many may need to be refunded to members who are are not allowed to enter WA, and are now selling a few in an effort to recoup their anticipated losses.

PM sent

If that was the case, then wouldn’t he want the hearing ASAP?
