I made entry into the appropriate section of the AFL members area yesterday at 1.30, because I hadn't pre purchased a seat.

I was one of the first to be seated and had a wonderfully boring time eating, reading, watching little children play footy on the field , and gloating over the fact that I had a full set of teeth and most of those around me who were dressed in black and white , didn't.

At exactly 5 minutes before the ball was bounced to start the game ,an official from the MCC advised me ,and all the others in my aisle, that we'd have to vacate our seats as they were reserved . Wtf!!!!

Sadly, using profanities and aggression made no impact and I was forced to look elsewhere , which turned out to be in the standing room only section .

A fun time was had by all.

Serves you right for being in the AFL members area and not the MFC members area!!

Exactly the same happened to me. Row K, bay Q19. I arrived at 115 because my daughter was ding the guard of honour and 5 minutes before the game, same thing happened. Worse still, they said it was reserved and 10 out of 15 seats weren't taken but they wouldn't let us sit there so our group was split. I understand they decided to sell the seats at the last minute. It's an absolute disgrace.

Yep, same row as me

I was an vfl/afl member from when my grand father signed me up. He used to take me to Waverly and then I went with the old man to the G. I stopped it 13 years ago as the money men of the afl erroded the benefits of it. Good to see they haven't worked out the fans are the ones who pay the bills.

did the seats have reserved stickers on the side? They have them in the mcc area. Also an attendant should have been there checking tickets.

No reserved stickers , and an official distinctly pointed out the rows that were unrestricted

I can vouch for this. The reserved sticker was up to the previous row, and a nice attendant had a print out of the unreserved and literally read it to me. Joeboy, we obviously had the same toss bag official being just a general a**hole and not letting kid sit in empties. But more broadly, when I went back to the nice chick to ask her what was going on, they said that they sold them just before the game. For the sake of a couple of dollars, that it treating keen fans with utter contempt.

AFL members is terrible. May as well just get a reserved seat in GA for whatever game you want to go to. Unless you go to 3+ games a week it isn't worth it. Next year I'll keep my Gold membership but I'm getting a Trident Melbourne membership. I'm sick of AFL members. For what you pay, the services and offerings of the area are subpar.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
