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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
