m50 row cc. Not bhed

 

Any idea why they've once again closed the top level of the southern stand (AFL members) despite rain forecasted on Saturday night?

Will this be a post COVID 19 feature whereby they close the top level for low-moderate crowds at the expense of most fans who will all get wet on rainy days?

Oh well at least at least the MCC members are catered for in terms of under cover while the rest of us plebs will have to sit in the wet and have the flu for the next 2 weeks while the entire top level is closed.

weather forecast has improved

coldish (15/16 deg at start of play),  light wind, quite low probability of rain 

M56 for me

No issues with ticketing, again. In and done in about 60 seconds.

Slight change of topic, but can anyone tell me how I go about getting tickets for Melbourne vs Adelaide at the Adelaide Oval? Any advice much appreciated.

expecting over 80K mate?

No I’m not, but from what I’m reading members aren’t sitting where they should be and lots of people are encountering problems when trying to purchase tickets. I’m a Sydney based Redlegs member, I normally get to Melbourne 3-4 times a year for games. I would normally buy guests passes for family and friends. My understanding is that this is not an option at the moment.

Yeah I hear ya. The quicker they get rid of the online ticket ordering BS the better


I get cost saving during COVID but this isn’t a GWS nothing club vs a cellar dweller. This is 1st vs 4th, and Sydney still have plenty of South Melbourne fans that follow them passionately. Closing the top level is a disgrace and immediately turns people away from the game as it removes undercover seating. 

The AFL, clubs, and MCG need to get their **** together and start doing things properly, our game should never be a chore to try to attend, not when you have a 100k seat stadium.

  • 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.
