    I think you might want to explain to your daughter how masks work OD ?; they are more designed to protect others from the wearer.

    Yes they know that ht. The point was that the theater  was not observing the requirements. In the same night the tennis Centre was operating at about a third capacity.

    Anyone have the guts to head to Casey to watch the game on Friday morning behind the fence even though it's closed to the public?

    I might be tempted.

    Ah ok, sorry OD, I think I misread your comment... but yes, I would be extremely surprised if any venue in Melbourne is allowed to operate at full capacity; they're not even allowed to do that here in Sydney yet.

    I’m tempted but 25m from the boundary at a suboptimal angle, through a fence and surrounded by 2 different types of reptiles (the snakes and Richmond supporters) makes me think it’s best not to.

    You're correct, the viewing is very difficult, particularly from the opposite wing and players taking shots from 30 mtrs out (although you can probably guess the result of a Maxy Gawn regulation set shot from 25 mtrs out)

    Might leave it for the game at Marvel against the Dogs on 8 March if they're selling a few thousand tickets for that one.

    Hopefully the game will be posted up afterwards on the Dees website so I can have a watch that arvo as I won’t be able to watch Friday morning as working.

    Don't know about last year but they most certainly put the Collingwood V Melbourne 2019 practice match for viewing after the game.

    Yes trying to think back to last year if they did or not.
     

    You would think they would.

     

    Go Dees!

    The members only streams are interesting.

    I have no difficulty with the small upsell. Some exclusive web content for members only could be a winner.

    Considering I haven’t renewed yet I actually wouldn’t be against them making the stream to members only to encourage early renewal.

    Given that they're bothering to stream it, I guess it's not going to be the equivalent of last year when a glorified Casey team played as 'Melbourne' and were thrashed by Essendon.

    They both say there were no spare seats anywhere. My wife wanted to leave but stayed because my daughter said we will be ok with our masks on. 

    Fair enough it's a hard one the theatre bugs have been crawling up walls yo see some.

    In Brisbane My local area  group have had a50% capacity since returning in Aug last year but will be 100 % in March this year. But Qld and Vic are different cases .

     I masks were requested to be worn yo the best of my memory.

    Not sure why there's an AFL Directive to not live stream this game when others are being live streamed (presumably under another AFL directive).

    I could be wrong but I think it may be because it’s on the same the the females are playing and they don’t want it to affect the number of viewers etc

    The wording is interesting “premium” members. Does that mean not all members get sent the link and password to watch it? Not a great look of true.

    For some time I have been wondering why you would take out a membership of the Tigers / Collingwood etc. there is no way all members can get into any game. Even against the sides like Melbourne. I doubt this will happen but when Melbourne get higher than 50k members I will stop. Two reason  at 50k+ they won’t need me and it will mean I am up on the third tier of the stands that I hate. As to your question probably, or they will wait till premium members have notified their intentions then send the email to the poorer members,

    I'm with you there OD. I joined in 2011 because the club needed me. Last year, me and my boy had Trident memberships, which became a $1K+ donation to the club due to COVID. Nothing from the club by way of thanks, I reckon the more members we get, the more they take us for granted.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
