    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!.

    Lol

    i reckon we just let fans watch half the game. 
    I bags the second half

    Does this mean we won't have to be kicking out unruly opposition supporters from our members' only section because security haven't done their job properly?

    Hope the security staff will be better trained in Covid safe practice.

    Surely Ticketmaster and Ticketek will waive their booking fees as a gesture of goodwill.

    Hoping you are able to enjoy our season whether on the box or in the flesh as we warm up for hopefully a return to the Finals this year.

    i think many of the jig saw pieces are starting to complete the commencement of the puzzle viz. running and youthful youngsters with real talent to solve the soft spots in our Game plan armour and the off field expertise to assist the Senior coach in preparation and most importantly if allowed on game day.

    I have a reserved seat on my membership. I should be able to use that seat and get into the game with my membership card instead of having to book through tickitek and pay 5 bucks more for a seat somewhere in noddyland. The whole thing disgusts me.

    Sorry dl4e I am not sure how reserved seat holders will be processed.

    BUT you will have to purchase a ticket ( for $0.00) wherever you are in the ground ad part of Covid safevplans the AFL and other sporting bodies are required to fo now.

    Judy having a reserved seat does not help tracing but a ticket for $0.00 does and you will need to abide by the same rules as all attendees at AFL games.

    What  distancing ( if any) that may be applied early in the season is the other key.

    This  has happened In the Brisbane games of AFL and last weeks Test  Match in the Gabba Trust members area.

    it is quite simple really and protects you as much as the persons in your vicinity.

    Also get used to Card Only transactions  St the venues.

    Some  D/L ers are going to be far outside their comfort zone I imagine so will be interested to see reactions posted but really it's all for Covid safe Plans and Health  requirements when you Really analyse these changes.

    Well you won't be going AND Supermarcado I would have thought you would be more Informed  and check the facts.

    There  is no $5 charge eith Ticketec or Ticketmaster  for all bookings fir membership ticket holders.

    I just wish Sometimes  some D/Lers would get there facts straight before shooting off and creating a reaction  from precious little angels that don't want and can't cope with Civid  like changes!

    After the last year 58er my interest has waned considerable in football in total. With the total uncertainty about how the season will unfold I am not jumping out of my  skin about the coming season. I am not being negative  intentionally but I have heard all the things about how we will go in the coming season before but experience has taught me not too over expect  from the MFC.

    I received an email from the club today about attending the girls game at Casey.

    They state that there will be a limited number of tickets available but nowhere do they list a number.

    Does anyone know what the number might be?

    I see the email says Melbourne AFLW members get priority.

    Is this some separate membership to the usual MFC membership?

    According to Wikipedia the normal capacity is 9-10k

    350 seated

    The 9-10k was before they built the new facility which probably took a few hundred at least from maximum capacity.

    So I guess it to be 5k.. have we ever had a crowd that size for AFLW?

    And you have to pay to get in for the first time this year.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
