Looks like premium season ticket holders can be seated on L1 which I'd guess to be our usual away game area in the Ponsford. Regular season ticket holders get access to the site from 1pm tomorrow for GA seats.

Anzac eve promises to be a debacle

There was talk a couple of weeks ago of going 100% capacity by Round 6 DD, gone quiet since though.

There were a lot of perplexed and frustrated Melbourne supporters around us on Sunday. Watching Cats’ fans not only in an MFC reserved area but in your actual reserved seat was a head scratcher.

Well done to the MCG for closing the top level of the southern  and ponsford stand last week (where most seats are under cover) despite it raining for most of the game.

We got stuck in the northern stand, right in the teeth of the southerly buster, while our normal reserve seats on level 2 in the southern stand were unoccupied. Not only that, at the end of the game the bar was closed! We were told only bars open on that side in that block were in the mcc members area. Thanks a freakin lot, whoever was responsible for that debacle. If this state of affairs continues much longer, might be spending games at home.

The bar at my place never closes, probably the same at your home HJ.

Mentioned that to a mate as the rain started. 

Not sure if it was due to COVID or a cost cutting exercise but it was poor form to have the top level closed on a very wet day.

I don't think so. You Said, Anzac eve  promises to be a debacle. My reply was,  only you are going. As in to the game. 

 

Tried to access tickets to Mfc v Rich

Seems to suggest that they are going to charge us $50-$60 for a Ticket?

Is that for real?

Not just poor form and a cost cutting exercise by the MCC operators but it defies logic to me anyway. What is the point of the 75% COVID crowd limit if you squeeze everyone into 75% or less of the seating? What is the difference then between 75 and 100% from a health risk point of view?

according to the CHO its not about spacing but more about zones and stopping cross overs between zones. He was quoted today as saying they were not too sure how they could move to 100% and still maintain space between zones.

Stupid I know as with both last weeks game and this one everyone could have easily spread out and a lovely time would have been had by all.

it's called a loophole, earl

If they’re worried about social distancing they should do something about Richmond station and the lines to get inside after the game ?

Thanks that is interesting. For a big match where you have 75,000 there is massive cross over of people outside the ground before they enter and then sit cheek by jowl, and scream and yell! Thank God for that zoning.

You will find that MFC would have been consulted in the decision as it reduces cost out to them

Agree DC it is more likely the pies and tigers were consulates before us.

yes, has no cost effect to mcg. (nor pies or tiges). mcc save money by not opening certain sections.

 

Just got tickets, pretty easy in a dedicated Melbourne area behind the Ponsford Stand goals.

I tried to get tickets but they wanted to charge me ( inserted code ) and told me they had sold out of tickets.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
