Finals Tickets


Lucifers Hero

Recommended Posts

I just bought my niece as a membership so I can take her to finals?.  
 
Regarding finals ticket purchase the club email said:

" We will be sending an email to members with their barcodes and full details about how to purchase finals tickets on Sunday, so as long as she has that email it will have the barcode she needs to use on it.  The barcode is different to the member number, it is on the back of the card but we will confirm it via email as well.  I also need to let you know that all new memberships need to be purchased by 5pm on Friday, 24 August".

Clearly the club was taking no chances of repeating last years trauma of finals ticket details sent before we made it.  Good move to wait till our last game.

But importantly, if anyone wants to ensure a finals ticket then it is worth getting a membership.  A 3-game membership will be sufficient to have member priority ticket purchase ie before the general public. 

Priority purchase may be important if we end up playing at a smaller ground or at the MCG vs a big member club like Rich/Coll/Hawth.

Go Dees!

I think those who purchase memberships after the cut-off date for official memberships should be excluded from purchasing finals tickets, quite frankly. I love those that resist a membership all year and then sign on once we are in the finals. Where is the reward for those who have paid their dues for years and years with no hope of finals. 

Lucifer, I appreciate that your niece is young and not trying to have a go, but there are a lot of MFC 'supporters' who refuse to buy club membership unless we make finals. It is as fair weather as it gets.

Some fair comments from a member view. 

I suspect the club is happy to get the revenue and importantly have another member to sell next year's membership.

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/sunday-session-afl-open-to-four-mcg-finals-in-week-one-20180820-p4zyjv.html

"... it’s understood the AFL are contemplating playing one final on each of Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday if the four MCG tenant clubs finish 1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th. This would allow the MCG to host all four week one finals. The AFL won’t confirm its week one finals fixture until after the top eight finishing order is confirmed. 

... The Hawks are aware they would be the likely candidate to again host a final at Docklands if the AFL opted to head down that path.

We have won on every stadium (except Geelong) we played on this year so I don't fear any arena.  But how good to see the red and blue at the G in September.

Win and we most likely play Geelong at the MCG

Lose and we most likely play GWS in Sydney at the Sydney showgrounds.

Am I correct .... assuming Geelong and Collingwood win which are both high probabilities?

PS: Oh wait a minute that Hawks v Sydney game can change a few things ...my head is hurting

Yes you are correct as the loser of Sydney v Hawks would finish 6th.

Unless they have a draw. In which case we would finish 6th if we won. GWS will still finish 4th if they beat us and Sydney or Hawk win. The Eagles can even drop to 4th if they lose. Still a very tight fight for spots in the eight.

Does anyone know when we would likely be playing? I will be heading over from Perth and hoping we don’t get the Thursday night game

If Meth Coast finish 2nd I reckon they get Thursday night

Interesting concept the Thursday night....

Presumably the next week will be Friday and Saturday night.

The loser of the matches between the top four will most likely be rewarded by the longer break but I assume it will only be one day extra.

So I think you can have a good guess at working out the order

Based on last years finals something like this:

 

Thursday night 2 v 3

 

Friday night 1 v 4

 

Saturday 5 v 8

 

Sat night 6 v 7

that gives the top 4 a two day break advantage when it only needs to be one.

Didn't realise they did that last year. I was still getting over Round 23.

Highly unlikely the Thursday night game would be in Melbourne I'd say that would be an interstate game if all games were in Melbourne I think they may play a Sunday game. If results go as they should my guess would be this:

 Thursday: WC vs Collingwood(optus)

Friday: Richmond vs Sydney(MCG)

Saturday Twlight: Hawthorn vs GWS (Etihad)

Saturday night: Melbourne vs Geelong (MCG)

If we beat GWS, I reckon it will be:

THU 8:10 - WCE (2) V Collingwood (3) - Optus

FRI 7:50 - Richmond (1) V Sydney (4) - MCG

SAT 7:45 - Melbourne (5) V Geelong (8) - MCG

Sun 3:20 - Hawthorn (6) V GWS (7) - MCG

(or Hawks V GWS at Etihad Saturday arvo just to pizz Kennett off!)

 

If we lose to GWS, I reckon it will be:

THU 8:10 - WCE (2) V Collingwood (3) - Optus

FRI 7:50 - Richmond (1) V Sydney (4) - MCG

SAT 4:10 - GWS (5) V Melbourne (8) - Spotless

SAT 7:45 - Hawthorn (6) V Geelong (7) - MCG

I think the AFL would have the Hawks V GWS game at the G on the Sunday.

I was under the impression Etihad would only be used if there were 4 VIC finals. 

But if the AFL don't want a Sunday final, then you could be right.

Very true. Makes sense to play it on a Sunday arvo, I'm not sure why they don't use that time slot for finals these days regardless.. I think the Saturday twlight is a shocking time for a final

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
