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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
