Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

50% capacity at the g is still about 40,000. Never draw a crowd that big on most occasions so shouldn't affect us demon supporters.

The record crowd for a Melbourne V Fremantle game at the MCG is 27,000 back in 2017 when we lost a game at the death we really should've won. (2017 was certainly a year of coulda shoulda wouldas)

If it's 50% capacity, and at the very least you book tickets the week they are released, I can't see anyone missing out on round1 if they make the effort to book.

The $5 fee is not charged to members who are only getting a seat.
 

Badically  the member is Only getting a seat allocation ticket for tracing purposes so UGTBK you are Wrong!

Yes Covid has reduced many Families with any optional spending but the $5 fee has been constant fir non members just casually going to games at most venues!

Gen Admission will pay the fee!!

Another game we coughed up.

We let Freo build up a lead early, then huffed and puffed to finally get our noses in front late in the 4th only to switch off at the death leaving McCarthy on his own to collect the ball over the top and kick the winning goal. Rotten defending. I remember cos I kicked the seat in front in disgust.

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? 

I would hope that Members who continued to pay their membership before others last year get priority.

DR As i  have previously Posted in this topic ( having been through the AFL Covid crowd conditions in 2020 as a member of the Gabba Trust (  think MCC Members tiny replica) all groups are considered in the reduction of crowds scenario.

However  the word PRIORITY is not mentioned anywhere in Covid conditions but TRACABILITY is the underlying non negotiable in all ticket transactions.

So much so that at the 50% reduced crowd numbers for the recent 4th Test Cricket Covid seating and distancing featured.

Last night The same purchase arrangements and ground terms and conditions featured although 75% or full ground capacity was approved and our section had everyone next to each other with the most members since the 2019 Test and AFL season.
 

So D/L ers expecting to retain their option to walk into an choose a seat are going to be disappointed. All attending must get a ticket ( even members with "reserved seats" will need to) To enable all attending to able to be traced if necessary. No charge or $0.00 is on your ticket and only Gen admission purchases are mostly loaded with the $5/7 ticket booking surcharge.

Happy  Days at the G!

Yes, I was there too. I wasn't surprised. That play/goal had an air of inevitability about it.

Well 25- 30k are allowed at the Tennis so surely in a much bigger venue like the G should be ok for 50k. Assume the home club gets 2/3 of that number then 33k would see most members catered for each home game.

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.

I am presuming that MCC/MFC members won’t need to book to allow tracing? ? With  our barcode we get automatically recorded entering the “G”.

While they need to know who was at the ground, it's more about knowing where in the ground you were. So I fully expect that everyone will need to book a ticket and that will have your designated seat for that game. I had to do the same thing as a SACA (MCC equivalent in SA) member for the cricket this summer.

It's 30k across each of the 3 zones at the tennis, which should mean about 50% capacity for the major courts. The Margy Court zone might actually be the best deal rather than the biggest courts.

Quote

Margaret Court Arena (MCA) zone - patrons will have access to:  

  • Margaret Court Arena (MCA) 
  • Garden Square      
  • Court 3      
  • 1573 Arena      
  • Western Courts 5 to15  

Rod Laver Arena (RLA) zone - patrons will have access to:  

  • Rod Laver Arena (RLA)      
  • Rod Laver Arena Terrace      
  • AO River Terrace      
  • Sections of Grand Slam Oval  

John Cain Arena (JCA) zone - patrons will have access to:  

  • John Cain Arena (JCA)      
  • Eastern Courts 16 to17      
  • Practice Village      
  • Slice of Grand Slam Oval (GSO)  

50% and therefore 50k seems like the right number to start with for the MCG at this stage, so for most games the problem with be less about the availability of total tickets and more about the priorities of how they are divided and who gets their regular seats.

Level 4 Row ZZ might get a work out but I guess you might get the fresher air up there!

In many ways I expect this year to be more frustrating than last when it comes to the footy. Hopefully everyone can just embrace the challenges.

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.

I reckon they will just close off the top section. It doesn't make much sense to spread everyone around only to have to have the upper level food, bar and toilets open and staffed.

Boydie yes same for AFL and BBL plus Test cricket in the Gabba Trust ( Qld style MCC area ) area fir both seasons. 
 

I have posted this about 3 times but either not read or notice taken and explained that seat traceability is the reason and a ground pass ( ie members ticket ) with no seat (unless some arrangement for Reserved  seat holders is Arranged) is not sufficient to trace.
 

Importantly members ticket holders DO NOT have any fees charged for the $0.00 seat ticket Necessary to Enter the ground and remain all day at.

Nearly posted this morning that WA is the only footballing State not to have had a breakout with assoicated border closures in the last 12 weeks.

Looks like we now have a full house

Who knows what the next 12 weeks will bring.

I have been saying for months that this season will be disrupted DJ. It only takes one state to shut the bordet and all the plans get thrown in the air. Look at the girls comp. at present.

The MCG, if unable to cater for large crowds, should consider utilising the car park and setting up big screens outside the stadium for the fans, in Yarra Park. They have done similar with the cricket and I think it should be considered in 2021. I know tht winter offers up some problems weather wise, but a lot of paid up members, both MFC and MCC will miss out on tickets to bigger matches if there is a 50% crowd capacity. The same applies to other clubs. Just a thought

The MCG is capable for large crowds it's just that Covid  Plan is needed to be agreed upon at the ground  and all other AFL venues.

About 50% seems ok early days and as the season progresses slightly more fans fir bigger games like Anzac Eve and QB for us. 
 

There is no need for ridiculous additions in the park like the tennis ( good there but in an enclosed venue) as it is too open to have Covid plans sensibly applied and unnecessary for crowd numbers anyway.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
