Send the feelers out to all your Melbourne friends to be there on Saturday night. If you know a Melbourne supporter who is in Melbourne that isn’t going then put some pressure on.. it’s our home game. 

I’ve got 4 flying in from Sydney.. coming in hot! 
 

Go dees.

    Nice to be relevant and mentioned in the 85,000 MCG capacity news stories. Will this be enough? :p

    I've got my mum and her partner coming. She's usually a strictly-finals type. She's not seen much live footy these past 15 years.

    So the MCG crowd capacity has been increased to 85k, which is great and should ensure a big loud crowd. But can I ask what’s the difference between 85k and 100k capacity in terms of COVID security? I think it’ll end up at about 75,000 with ticketing issues, which is brilliant but disappointing it’s not full capacity.

    Especially when they will squeeze everyone into 85% of the seats and leave large blocks empty. Can’t work it out myself.

    Think we will be lucky if it’s 65k attending, until they allow walk up entry without having to pre book tickets I can’t see crowds getting close to pre covid levels

    GA tickets are $70-$75 for level 1 what a rort! No wonder games aren't selling out, that is just ridiculous.

    Yeah I can't work it out either. If they're only going to allow 75% (or insert any number) then at least spread it out around the whole ground.

    Last week they closed the entire top section of the Southern Stand yet my section was chock-a-block. How is that mitigating risk? Either spread everyone out or make it 100%.

    Yeah nothing makes sense lately. Soccer at AAMI Park last week wouldn’t even let people out at half-time, no pass-outs due to COVID they said. They preferred to have thousands of people congregate in the concourse.

     A few hundred metres away at the G they let people in and out anytime. Is everyone on the same page here?

    strange you can have 85% at the MCG but only 75% at Docklands

    No there is no game at Docklands that will get 40,000 or above Don't need alteration yet:

    85% capacity well well well.....the pure dumbfkuery of this government .  What the hell is the difference when you can have 85%crowd capacity but not 100%.  The idiots are just treating us as fools,  playing head master over our lives.  Geez this is reaching boiling point with me.

    Herald sun says MCG expecting around 60,000 for our game. 

    Bit disappointing, thought it'd be closer to 75 given the occasion, team's position and Jones' 300th.

    Yep that is ridiculously stupid and probably more dangerous than letting people outside.

    Its quite hard to contract covid outdoors in open air anyway according to latest research.....

    Nothing, it’s just someone justifying their job. Hopefully back to full capacity shortly.

    I hope this new case in Vic doesn't lead to crowds not being permitted.

    Club needs the revenue from this game, particularly after COVID last year.

    John Ralph just said 80k now expected on Saturday night. Amazing. 

    Pretty sure that was Sunday's game he was referring to.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
