Just thought i would start this conversation, are there any hints as to how the tickets for the season will be allocated. I have a Redlegs membership and that comes with selected seats (not that I often sit in my correct seat). However if there is a 50% Capacity allowed, How do they decide who gets in?

    Maybe not, but there a few hardy souls that cram into the Premium member area in the southern stand, can't have 10k in one section and nobody in the other half of the ground

    I gave up my Redlegs membership a few years ago for a different membership, out of frustration that someone else would almost always be sitting in my reserved seat - now I know who the culprit was! 
    Not sure how the seat allocations might go if there’s a larger crowd expected, but I assume premium members would be given priority. Beyond that, perhaps some sort of ballot.

    will be amazed if it's more than 25k

    Really. I haven't seen a game live in 18 months, wild horses couldn't keep me away, I'm sure there will be plenty of others who feel the same

    You might be right, 53 days is way off and aaaanything could happen. But would be good to know the method of allocating seats, even if it is 25k would still like not to miss out

    That's me I've had the same seats in the Olympic stand For years day there when they used to be red seats and the cheerssquad was there. Hopefully can sit there but, i guess I'll be happy just to be there

    FWIW channel 7 reported last week that clubs are assuming and hoping it's 50%. They interviewed North's CEO who probably passed that info onto channel 7 news.

    No doubt with border closures, they'll probably throw this fixture in the bin and we'll start the season hubbing in WA before moving onto Darwin, Cairns and then settling into SE Queensland for the rest of the year.

    If 25K capacity,  the only people to miss out would be members that don't jump online in the first couple of days of sales.

    I think the record crowd at the G for a Melbourne V Freo game is 27K in 2017.

    Home games at the Gee no problem if we have 25 to 30 thousand paid up members turn up. Should have priority if it comes with a designated seat. 

    If there is  50 to 60 thousand cap to the Richmond game and the Queens Birthday game against Collingwood we have them as our home games in 2021  lets see what sort of an outcome eventuates with the seating;  Interesting times ahead.

    If it's going to be 50% of capacity, I've half a mind to attend.

    *No jokes about only having half a mind, either!.

    I would not worry DS. There will be lots of oldies like me that won't be tempting fate and not going. You will get in no trouble. You can have my spot for starters.

    There will be at least 5 to 10 more seats than normal as WA Premier won't let the usual supporters leave the state to travel to see them.

    There will be some areas not opened up depending upon the expected crowd 

    remember you have to pre purchase tickets prior to turning up so can only purchase Tickets from those offered at the agency (ticketec or Ticketmaster)
     

    Your scenario will be tested at games like The Round1 as with vs Vic  teams the Southern Stand would  normally be needed To fit the crowd in.

    The Premium Area sounds Like a reserved seat aree whic could be smallish do no problem but as for opening up all the top tierr of the Southern Stand  I would forget it.

    More of the sections would be available fir larger crowds but if 50,000 are allowed for each week the seating the same fir  each game Would most likely apply. Remember Covid distancing will be applied in some form.

    In Brisbane some areas have had tickets Sold in twos with gaps of two or one.Later groups of up to six have been sold also at the Test match last week.

    If the crowd allowed is 50,000 ie half Then each area is opened up but PRE SOLD not on the day at the ground but online at home or on the phone,

    As long as you are speaking for yourself OD.  Not all oldies are ambivalent about attending like you.

    Rest assured the plans for crowd numbers and style will have to be approved fir Covid health rules.

    Any one is free to wear a mask to any game if they feel threatened.in any way also on the train or bus there.

    Lets get as big a crowd as we can to start the season with a win urged on by a pro Dees loud and excited crowd to give the team a real boost.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
