Can't wait, I'm sure it will be a fantastic day for all! If they can also replicate the GF day weather from Perth, that would be great.

    man that's early, I was expecting a 3-6 type thing.

    only 40K attending.  pity folks will have to miss out

    Hmm I think the 40K is a number the club has considered to cover most Vic members.

    We have quite a few members interstate and some Victorians wont go because it is the busy period before Christmas.

    I will be surprised if any Victorian members who want to go miss out.

    This is what sh1ts me. Boxing Day test can be full capacity, yet only 40k are allowed to turn up to the G 21 days prior?

    Andrews’ and his health bureaucratic lackeys can all take a long walk off a very short pier.

    I assume the club is waiting for the magic 90% double dose mark when crowd limits disappear in Victoria to make further announcements. 

    We are currently tracking to hit that around 21/11.

     

    Or Somyurek to completely snooker them and a need to change the news cycle.

    Either way I don't care.

    Let's all get there and celebrate.

    Dont think afl members will be open and maybe mcc , depends where stage is . They will want ppl to face stage . Dont think there will be  general  seating on field , maybe for team families and past players sponsors . It will be seating in stand so they can trace if they have to . Im just happy we can be there.

    The way I read it is the club is hoping to get 40,000 there, not a limit of 40k. They stated they want as many supporters as possible to attend.

    Correct. There is no mention anywhere of a cap. People read want they wanna read so they can get all angered and justifies certain angles.

    Agreed - I think.

    My reading of the DHHS instructions effective from 11.59 yesterday below is that crowd limits ceased last night at any event. Over 30,000 for outdoors ( that's us) just need a CovidSafe plan(also us). Double-vaxed only presumably.

    ".....All indoor and outdoor events with fewer than 30,000 fully vaccinated attendees can go ahead without restrictions, while outdoor events with more than 30,000 people attending have to publish a COVIDSafe plan...."

    oh right, thats good!  With good weather I reckon we'd get more than 40K but who knows.

    Nowhere in the article does it state it's capped at 40,000.  What the actually quote is "hopefully 40,000+ members and supporters".  It sounds more like they're predicting how may may be attending.  Given the club has 55,000 members, which includes interstate and overseas members, that's probably a fair prediction.  As of today there is no restriction on outdoor gatherings, and in fact there's nothing stopping the MCG filling the ground to 100,000 if they want to.  I'm predicting they'll be increasing from 80,000 to 100,000 capacity for Boxing Day soon.

    While I am still going I must admit that as the time increases since GF day My enthusiasm is waning. I suspect there while be a number of members who will not turn up due to the weather, family activities before Christmas etc.

    I wonder if the catering will be open 30k plus is a lot of hungry people at that time of the day after watching a full replay of the game.

    If the bars and food outlets aren’t open I won’t be going that’s for sure

    That's where i always sit when i go the G

    (but to be clear i have no idea, was joking. I suspect they will only have the Olympic stand and perhaps part of the southern stand open - and of course the members area)

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
