Hope this is acceptable on this forum as it applies as much to our indigenous players as it does to Eddie alone... in a word, incredible!! Every Step of the Way Tonight I went out from the kitchen And looked up at the stars from the yard I was hoping to get some perspective But sometimes perspective is hard I know my life is a blessing And all blessings come with a curse My enemies I know I can handle But friends now, well, they can be worse Oh, I’m so sick and tired of keeping it inside I’m so sick and tired today I remember the old ones’ hard travelling They’re with me every step of the way Thousands smile when I go through my paces They fall at my dancing feet They like to slap my back in high places They want to shake my hand on the street Oh, I love my beautiful children They clamber and climb all over me I close my eyes and I’m dreaming Of a world where they can just be I’m so sick and tired of keeping it all inside I’m so sick and tired today I remember the old ones’ hard travelling They’re with me every step of the way The old ones are walking beside me Each and every step of the way

Well, I believe the medical sub gets one as well, regardless of whether he is activated or not. My thoughts have always been that the players who have taken the field at any stage during the year, have, even in small part, contributed to the club being able to play in a GF. Ive nothing but admiration for Jonesy and how he has stuck fat with the club through the worst of times.

Clever!

Perhaps our new Perth based members could spare a couple of hours to get along and report in?

The pic says it all…

Rob, Nathan has flown back to Melbourne already, to be with his partner who’s about to give birth to twins.

Expect the floodgates to open on sites like Gumtree and even on Demons Facebook pages.

I can't recall what the times were for tickets to go on sale, but do remember they were staggered by priority... so is it possible that they are not yet on sale? EDIT: just saw DCs post above... they are sold out.

This actually got me thinking. For any here who gave their barcodes out last week for people in WA wanting to attend the Prelim, is there a chance that they have then gone on to give them out to others who have come on here requesting codes for the GF, and so there may be a few people fighting for GF tickets using the same barcode? Could be interesting, particularly if there was money changing hands involved 😉

I think the seller thinks that they are getting away with it because of the $1544 'handling fee'.

It certainly is, but I am not in the least bit surprised... that is on Gumtree and is just one of many.

I hope that this isn’t where the barcodes given in good faith here, are ending up…

What's stopping them from having Gaz present it, with Barrassi and Daniher (and Jones?) saying a few words via video link to the main video screen on the scoreboard?

Nope... first place I checked 🙂

We haven’t received that email.

My son and I are yet to receive our emails from the club! I’m assuming it’s because we’re interstate members, but they had told me that we’d get them on Sunday, when I spoke to them late last week. Anyone else still waiting on theirs?

I doubt that Neale is being limited by just the border controls that the WA govt has in place. Had you considered that he may not be up to the trip and all that it would entail including medical assistance, personal assistance, comfort etc etc. I imagine that even a trip to the MCG might be somewhat of an ordeal for him, let alone a trip to Perth and back. As I suggested re Jones, I think a live video link that could be displayed on the large screen at the ground would be better. Hopefully they’ll be doing something like that pre game to the players room to get them gee’d up.

I’d be very careful if I were you. I can understand people coming on here and joining the group in order to try and source tickets, but when people join Demonland in the last day in order to try to sell tickets (I assume they’re selling and not giving away), alarm bells start ringing.

I was unable to attend in '64 and had to settle for listening to the GF on the radio, so I'm yet to actually 'see' us win one (unfortunately, I did watch us lose one on TV in 2000).

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!!
