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!

    Is it best to purchase tix online or go direct to an outlet for best chance of getting a ticket?

    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.

    "... 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

    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

    Thanks Pennant - that would make sense

    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)

     

  • Quote

    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

    I've given up writing off Collingwood. They're the real deal and will pound Freo with the knowledge that they can steal second from West Coast.

    I agree. Much prefer the Sunday final as it gives everyone something to look forward to for a late afternoon game.

    However the AFL prefers not to have them in order to remove 6 day breaks.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
