There is 5 days to go! What's the chances of Omicron cancelling it?? Hell I am holding my breath. 

I would have thought it would be a 50/50 proposition at this stage however the club just posted this.

That was always going to be the case with 30,000 people wanting a photo with the holy grail. Imagine the line for that. It would be impossible to accommodate everyone who wanted one and then imagine the disappointment of those still waiting when the event ended  

To be fair the club has provided ample opportunity for Victorians to get a photo with the cup.

I'm going to miss out because my partner planned a trip for us to Adelaide and I can't get out of it, we're driving and I couldn't let her drive all the way by herself. We have an AirBnB booked so we can't cancel that without the loss of all monies paid. I even looked at coming home the 4th and flying back the evening of the 5th. But the difficulty of getting an entry check would mean that I'd have to fly home go straight to a Covid testing centre fill out another application and have another covid test as soon as I get to Adelaide Airport, or quarantine till I do.

As it is I had a test yesterday and theoretically, as soon as we cross the border I have to have another, I can wait till I get to my final destination, the Barossa Valley, I think.

Who would have thought it would be that hard to go to another State.

We are trying to go to rels  in NZ. I have all but given up on 2022 now Omicron has arrived.

I doubt it. mainly becuase it would be pretty boring for anyone watching on live stream given the event is really only people watching a replay.

But perhaps the presentation of players and goodies speech might of interest. You'd think they will at least record them and post them on the MFC website.

Contacted the club and they said no plans but would raise it with the events team. Really quick response, well done to the team there.

Just keeping my hand in watching the first quarter and the third quarter again. I always laugh out loud as Oliver puts that third goal through. GO DEMONS!!

Dante The Cop is travelling Vic andMCG Museum plenty of spots inc. Chirnside  Park  later this week.

[Mazer Rackham 14,968]

Dante the Cop sat in his saloon car watching the football club guys wandering in and out of the hotel like ants fighting over a seed. Dante hated football, ever since he was forced to play it back in school and was sat on his rear end multiple times by guys who looked like refrigerators with eyes, and were about as smart. His mouth felt like an old towel left out in the sun and he cursed for the hundredth time the dame from the night before who had lifted his wallet while he was trying to find out where her stocking seams ended. Goddamn football, and goddamn the tall slender stranger who had offered fifty a day, two hundred of it up front,  plus expenses, to play nursemaid guarding a goddamn giant shiny beer mug.

[WalkingCivilWar 31,157]

What a chump! Letting some damn broad distract him. Dante the cop was obviously packing a piece, only it wasn’t a gun. 😉

Hey friends, did your tickets come through to everyone's phones as you ordered? Still waiting on mobile delivery

NO.  It took 5 emails to Ticketek to get 2 accessible seats sent to me instead of the ones I had already purchased for myself ( you have to put in an application form for these and then wait 2 or 3 days to get a response).

Whats worse is I have also booked Boxing day test tickets and guess what....Ticketek have sent me the tickets to the Demons Premiership celebration again.!  At least I have 4 weeks to sort out that problem.

They don't answer phones, they don't have staff attending to complaints.

Whenever I see Ticketek my heart sinks!

Yesterday I got an email from the club telling me how my electronic membership / entry card will work for the 2022 season.

It never mentioned anything about Ticketek I have my fingers crossed.

Yes I would rather stand up behind level 1 but that is probably a pipe dream. 

My favorite spot, right amongst the opposition supporters.

I’m betting there won’t be photos with the cup. This will be insane crowds

I thought I saw something from Pert saying that the players will parade the cup around the boundary, as they do on Grand Final day? If you are on the boundary you might get a photo.

That's the one I'm more interested in. Hoping to see it live next year at the G
