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: 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?
