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.

    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: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
