They are deliberately making it difficult surely.. Trying to book a ticket for me and 5yr old... I have no idea if we're under cover or not.

The seating algorithm promotes crowding

Amazing 

I just don't get it.

Sutton comes out yesterday to complain that complacency has crept back into society, re: COVID.

And yet he ticks off having level 4 of the Southern, Olympic, and Ponsford stands closed, which as you say promotes crowding.

Sunday should get 45,000, and with the top levels closed, there won't be many empty seats in the lower levels, and thus no social distancing.

So that means we will be changing our playing strip to avoid a clash dc? 

just announced that the latest infection case travelled home on the football train from the Geelong v Richmond game.

You couldn't script it

Victorian contact tracers are working with the AFL to track down hundreds of fans who attended the blockbuster clash between Richmond and Geelong last Friday and then travelled on the same train as a Wollert man who has tested positive to COVID-19.

Health Minister Martin Foley said the two clubs were helping contact members and supporters who travelled to or from the game on the same train as the infected man.

DJ two weeks ago my wife and I spent 2 nights in the city seeing the Harry Potter play with one of our grand daughters. We stayed 2 nights in a hotel and also visited the aquarium and 2 restaurants. We tried on every occasion to use the Vic qr system on every occasion it was rejected. Saying we are not part of this system. It was not just my phone my wife's phone got the same result. Then today I see the government saying people are not using their qr system. What a bad joke it appears to me that  retailers are not  on it. It appears to me we are once again let down by poor public service action or lack of it. And people wonder why  a lot are loath to go to large public gatherings.

talk to the club.....i'm presuming you are a member........there must be tickets available

I really wish people would wear masks on the packed trains to and from the football like the LAW says you should.

Less than 10% of people are wearing masks, and I just don't get why. It is always crowded on those trains, how hard is it to slap a mask on?

FFS the complacency of so many is going to really screw us. And I don't know why nobody is monitoring it either. We should have people on trains, especially footy trains, ensuring mask compliance. 

At the moment with 0 new cases beyond this one returned traveller, it seems unlikely the crowds will be cancelled. We know the risk of being outdoors is super minimal.

On a happier note a new member (Sandra) on the general board has asked if anyone has a knitting pattern for a demon's jumper for her dog.

Thought it deserved mention

Have my ticket for Sunday and will probably go to Casey on Saturday for my first bacon and egg roll fix of the year

It's the old " it won't happen to me" thing. The biggest let down of the human race Jaded.

Us country folk are good law abiding citizens Jaded. I’ve been on the train into Spencer st station from the wilds of Woodend these past 2 weeks (first time in the office in 15 months) and there has been less then 10 people without them on.
One likely looking lad this morning wearing his Harley leathers covered in Tatts, I assumed he’d gotten lost on the way to The Manor but was to busy avoiding eye contact to ask.

I catch either the Frankston or Pakenham trains to the footy (the only time I ever catch public transport each week mind you), and hardly nobody wears masks. I would have expected at least Melbourne supporters, being generally smart, educated and aware of how likely they are to be caught up in tragedy, would be wearing them. Sadly, that is not the case.

Put a mask on. Even without Covid, people are disgusting, winter and flu season is almost here, and the trains are filled with loud spitting folks. Don't you want to avoid getting sick? Especially during a pandemic, being sick with anything flu-like is just a pain.

Sorry I only just saw this.

Real good seats on half forward flank Punt Rd end members side, but I think you just might miss cover. 4 or 5 rows behind you are probably undercover from memory. Should be all Dees there usually!

I was in Row T for the Sydney game, we were getting very light mist.

WNW wind on Sunday you might be right but being in the G the wind will swirl around a bit.

Yeap that is why I chose it so the little guy can sit in the Dees faithful… last time I took him along (Saints game the year before last) he got bored halfway through the first qtr… I had to take him out to the kids play area out the front and we stayed their for 2.5qrts before leaving haha. Hoping he has more attention span and we have more intestinal fortitude.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
