AO crowds this year, removing the showdown, crowds are approx. 30,000 people. 

at 55K + capacity, how the &^&%$ is so difficult to purchase a decent seat. 

Whine over...... On the Hill it is :-) 

Will be a low 30-35k crowd, crap time slot for amateur footy and the like, the more of us the better.

    The best place to watch at AO. Usually lots of melb fans there and you don't feel as outnumbered as in the stands. And  bit like old fashioned terrace footy standing on the grass behind the seats, although not sure if that's allowed over there now and its seasting only.

    Anybody know what the deal at Adelaide Oval is in regards to moving between different areas of the ground?

    I'm not taking about gaining access into the MCC/AFL members equivalents but moving between general admin "zones"? Do they have zones at AO like the MCG where you can't go from the Olympic to the Southern Stand?

    It’s a blast… especially when we win! 
    3 of us attend in 2018 and it was so enjoyable to have them all getting stuck into you prior to and during the first qtr but very quiet most of the game as we had a ball cheering on. 

    Can’t wait for the flight out Friday.

    I couldn't get tickets on the hill as it was sold out when I tried virtually on the dot of 12:30.

    What's the deal with the hill? Can you only get into the area with a ticket? Is it roped off or something like some bogan VIP lounge? ?

    2018 it was just a GA ticket so I assume anyone could go stand their. Now it’s still GA but you’re listed in a pod (?), we’re in pod 2 so no idea if pods are allowed to mix or not of if our pod is segregated from The rest of the crowd lol.

    I'm sitting in a Crows member area. Might be a bit gutsy to wear full MFC kit.

    The Maccas in Rundall Mall makes an excellent Big Mac I'm told.

    Seriously though open for suggestions from Radelaidians on some fine dining. *

    * Port & cheese boards not a requirement

    I’m heading over with a mate and my brother. All dees supporters. I’m not sure on fine dining but The Strathmore on North Tce is great for lunch pre game or dinner post game. Pretty much on the other side of the river opposite the Adelaide Oval. Great pub. Big TVs to watch Saturday night footy as well.

    Think of all the money we've save on chalet rentals and ski hire not to mention the saved petrol driving to Bulla.

    My butcher said similar to me (you know your team is doing well when your butcher, with whom you’ve barely spoken, other than “two kilos of mince please” smack talks about your team). I says, “Uhm, Dees fans don’t RENT chalets, they OWN them.” He replied, “ Well three less of them own their chalets now. They had to sell them. That’s how you could afford  Petracca.”

    Unrelated: does anyone know if murdering a Collingwood supporter can result in acquittal on the grounds of justifiable homicide?

    Asking for a friend. ?

    Jasmins if you like Indian.

    Gauchos Argentinian if you like meat (I personally find it a bit expensive.)

    CM2 Cafe Michael on Rundle st for Asian ( or just walk along Rundle st for lots of options )

    Amalfi for Italian 

    I personally like the pub across the road, from Adelaide oval, possibly called the cricketers arms or something like that, but I’m not really into fine dining.  It’s also packed on game days.

    Also if you just want a great Indian takeaway curry, North Indian cuisine on Hindley st is not far from Adelaide oval and is pretty good and cheap, it’s the polar opposite of fine dining.

    Gaucho's is very expensive and most likely booked out but nearby there's an Italian joint in Gouger Street that's good.

    I don't understand the troubles with tickets. I picked mine up late Wed - on the wing, second level - and will probably be surrounded by the other mob but so be it. If we win it'll be extra good viewing.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
