    Absolute guess here but if it's 30,000 maximum (30%), the allocation could be spread as follows:

    6,000 MCC members

    4,500 AFL members (Ess and Melb support packages with priority)

    18,000 Essendon members

    1,500 MFC members.

    A lot of your rank and file MFC supporters will need to wait until the GWS game next week.

    Thankfully Brian Taylor isn't on the Saturday night roster for Ch 7.

    Whilst we've had our fair share or FTA games lately, we've also had more than enough of BT.

    18,000 vs 1,500? Is that the proportional difference in our member numbers? ;-)

    I could very well be wrong but I think the MCG will be 50% and Marvel the 15-20% 

    The journo's have gone with 15-30% since yesterday for both venues.

    Hopefully it will be 50% for our GWS game the following week, although we could probably accommodate everyone at 25% if we're being honest for that fixture.

    No, but I reckon they'll give the majority of members tickets to the home team.

    Any BT is too much BT.

    I expect they'll cramm everyone in to one small section of the G as per the usual safe practice.

    Prof. Sutton said they do that coz it’s easier to monitor a crowd that’s all confined to one space; to make sure everyone is adhering to the covid rules. If that’s the case, couldn’t they put on extra staff to monitor more areas? It’s not rocket science.

    Of course... very similar to herding cattle or sheep

    Perhaps a few kelpies to keep us all in our places may not go astray

    Therein lies the problem.

    I think it is for some.

    After the  2020 season and continuing virus problems this year the game as pretty much become a tv game for me. I would much prefer to be at games but for a few reasons it is too hard till mid August. So you all will not need to worry about me taking your place at the G. Enjoy everyone.

    I had not thought of that DJ. I need to check. The no.1 question is will there be spectators?

    6000 MCC spots, will be quite the battle getting one. Wonder when they'll go on sale.

    Most of MCC will be demon supporters

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
