Apparently Melbourne is going to train at skilled stadium on Friday afternoon

I imagine this would not be a closed session as there is no way known that Geelong will not be watching

If that is the case does anyone know if Melbourne supporters are allowed to sit in on the session,

and if they are, what time will the session be held at ?

Also apparently Melbourne is staying the night in Geelong

Anyone know if the Melbourne football club is organising anything for Melbourne supporters in the Geelong region to meet or greet the players ?

Besides being at the game.

Its bloody hard to get tickets thats for sure :(

    It's not easy for them to have a closed session at Skilled and as you said, the cats would be able to watch no matter what, so what would be the point?

    Not sure about any functions, but I'll try to head down tomorrow.

    I know they only release a certain amount of tickets, but I think there is a little bit of a fallacy with these ticket sales. My sister jumped online Monday night and bought tickets as easily as any other event. I think people are either too lazy to try or are just using it as an excuse not to go.

    You're dead right, it's not that hard to get tickets at all if you're just a little bit organised.

    If you wake up the morning before the game and decide you want tickets, then yes, you will probably find difficulty.

    Sorry, two mornings before the game.

    Still, with a little forward planning, tickets to Skilled aren't all that difficult to come by. In fact, there are still General Admin tickets available right now.

    Why would anyone want tickets when you can stay home and listen to the dulcet tones of Kelli Underwood?

    GA means no guaranteed seating. Whether there is walk-up seating at Skilled or not I just don't know.

    Agree. From almost any vantage point at Skilled.

    The session I'd imagine wouldn't give much away anyway, being the day before the match. More a familiarity, tuning up session I would have thought. I'm sure our coaches would be most wary re: set plays.

    Besides Geelong would have done their homework anyway. If anything, Geelong would have more concern on who is IN and who is OUT of the Melbourne side. Albeit very little concern.

    Cos they're the "greatest".. :rolleyes:

    Who cares. If you wanna support the team it doesn't matter if you have to stand. My sister and I are going down to stand in the general admin. Jump online if you're having trouble getting them over the phone. Quick and simple.

    Well it seems tickets arent as hard as what I thought they where to get

    Dont know how the boys trained but its been raining down here all afternoon.

    So if they did train wouldnt surprise me if Geelong turned off the Hot water. :lol:

    Well even though no one gives us a chance tommorrow I hope the boys have a real crack at it

    Would be geat to see them push Geelong

    We can only watch and hope

    As long as the Boys Believe in their own ability & have a real Crack. Who knows what the players have said to each other on the way down to Geelong.

    If the Article in the Geelong Addy with Clint Bartram says anything-The MFC are looking forward to the challenge.

    If it gets ugly Tomorrow, well we know how much more work is needed. I don't think it will. I predict another close one.

    This young side enjoys playing top teams & i expect that tradition to continue...(i Hope)!!!!!

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
