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

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
