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.

    What covid security?

    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.

    Nup, he referenced that game as well. They are a few hundred tickets short if 85k

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
