Just got tickets and very happy but what they did was u could only purchase in lots of 2, 4 or 6 tickets. You could not change It to how many you needed. 
 

I needed 3 of course. I just can’t understand why they do that. It seems to me they are taking advantage of people who want to go to the footy. ?

Btw all seats at the Gabba are good whether u are in the stands or at ground level. 
 

God I hope we play better than we did against Port.

    So which one of you fine people are going to be our 'Woohoo! guy' up in QLD?

    He was in vintage form last night so the bar has been set high.

    Ha ha Pickett, not sure my vocals could be heard considering I won’t be near a fox camera. Sorry mate. 
     

    In saying that I don’t think some of the stuff I say would be allowed to go to air especially with they way the umps are going.

    Sounds like a very dicey practice. Certainly worth querying.

    Some of the airlines tried this to some degree and were quickly brought in to line

    Reason is the seat allocations in pairs because of the Covid-19.

    It is in the form of a Triangular patten to distance people in pairs.

    was same for Lions on Sat night even in the Gabba Trust section.

    I have QQ seats for Sat night hope it's all Melb there and not mixed with Pies fans !!

    Got 6 in section 63 basically on wing but on top tier at UU. Still a good position. Got Daughter's family down from Nth Qld and needed 13 all up and 2 sons managed to get 2 each ( no more 4/6 left) so getting there. Funny that the email from club had link straight to Tickemaster with no need to have a reference/membership number so up against all the General Admission people. With Lions game we had first go then Lions members then GA. Things change daily. Been a long time since seeing us play Pies. Last time took my eldest son who is now in 40's to Vic Park when he was about 10 !!

    Reckon we will have a good chance of winning this one.

    That’s interesting cause the games I have been to there hasn’t been much social distancing occurring.

    I did ask the membership Dept Diamond and The person I got double checked with someone else and advised it had happened to a couple of other games but weren’t sure why.

    Yes the tickets are all open to the General Public and not based on Dees membership or even Pies membership. Club says crowd is mixed and not designated Dees members area. Ridiculous from the Gabba or AFL or MFC.  

    Still need perspective. Going to the footy right now is a privilege.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
