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...

Gees Buddy, why did ya leave it so late to ask these Q's?

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.

im not asking about tomorrow's game, I was just asking purely out of interest, if anyone has the break down of who sits where and how it works etc

Been up since 5 insuring my assignments are finished for uni so I can enjoy the GREATEST DAY in the calendar year. Boom Boom people, today is about BBQ’s, Beers and great times with family and friends. Enjoy!!!

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.

haha Gillard"We are funding to move the Demons training base to Mt Bulla

Ohhh Yeah!

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

You're assuming that every day of my life is boring. It's not and I don't need an early or a late beer to help make life interesting. That's the good thing about people - we're all different.

agree...Saints or Handbags??? Yawn....Yawn....

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?

Where was Col?

lol at pike

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

Was thinking the same thing.

Col is in Bali with the boys

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

Milne 2 win that

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.

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.
