Just a question that does not need an aswer immediately, but I was wondering how the whole seating arrangements work for the GF, for

1) MFC Member (not redlegs and trident members...just your average "red and blue" members)

and for

2) MCC Full Members

as I understand it, there is a ballot for roughly half of the seats in the MCC and for those that miss out, people can arrive early...

however, what do the "Red and Blue" members do?

Is there a ballot for us? Are the seats in "the outer" designated half/half for the 2 clubs playing off in the Granny?

Do people still lign up...where? when?

Do those that get this new "Premiership Gaurantee" at the beginning of the year with their memberships go into a luck draw us to where their seats are?

As I said, this is all just out of curiosity...interested to know how the whole system works these days...

    Come line up with me near Gate 2 at the G for MCC walk up members. Gates open at 8am for walk up and you go in, get a seat and a steward gives you a tick for the seat.

    Taking a st kilda supporting mate with my visitor's pass.

    We're going to line up about 2 or 3am. Last year we got there at 4am and got a decent seat, but this year we're expecting more earlier cos of St Kilda.

    Heard on SEN yesterday a guy who lined up at midday Thursday and he doesn't even support cats or saints.

    I was at the G yesterday at lunch time, and there were about 40 people lined up. Apparently there were a group of 10 or so that have been lining up since Wednesday! Wow thats commitment. :wacko:

    Humbug. As far as I'm concerned, if we're not in it then it's the same as any other day on the calendar.

    Then you must have some pretty boring Grand Final days

    I love Grand Final day...it's the pinnacle of the year and reminds all the other clubs, that this is the day they should all be striving for

    Now off for a few early beers

    Enjoy

    For a couple of weeks last year Nathan Carroll was doing pre season with St. Kilda with the idea that he might hold down a spot at full back.

    The Saints decided at the last minute not to take him and, in the end, they rookied Zac Dawson and the rest is history.

    But imagine what might have been if Nathan Carroll made the cut?

    He would have won the coveted Andy Maher medal for biggest bogan on Grand Final Day.

    Was thinking the same thing.

    Probably would have switched on enough to play a few good games early in the year, but there wouldn't be a chance in hell he would have kept Maxy out.

    Pretty damn good match. Got me excited about one day being there again.

  • Quote

    Indeed. The Cats and Saints fans must have been feeling sick to the stomach in that last quarter. Great match for the neutral though. None of this boring Geelong-Port blowout crap.

    Zac Dawson is a gun.

    Actually went and bought a Zac Dawson badge to wear at the game today as I was an honorary saint for the duration of the match.

    He didn't disappoint, young Zac - can hold his head high after his performance

    That's moronic - rocked up at 5am today and still pretty much had our pick of the seating.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
