Grand Final Day Chatter

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?

  • Quote

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

    Was thinking the same thing.

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

    • NON-MFC: Round 7

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

      The Dees hit the big Friday night stage for the first and only time this season when they take on the Tigers under lights on ANZAC Eve at the G. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
