If we get more than 70,000 that would be amazing. Having said that every Melbourne supporter I know, both die hard and half arsed are booked in and ready to go for next Wednesday. 
(Times like these is why I love my reserved seats membership)


People are very keen to see the flag unfurling and to enjoy footy in person again. It’s been a very very long time. On both counts.

    It's a [censored] of a time and a [censored] of a night but ..... as Jaded mentions above that's the joy of a reserved seat.

    However, the maid is delirious as I shall not be returning to The Manor post game - It's too late and I shall be joyously [censored].

    Anyone heard about crowd estimate/ticket sales update? 

    might be difficult as members don't have to buy tickets, just scan their phone

    Anyone care to predict the starting 22?

    confirmed outs are Petty, who is the other one?

    are they doing that medical sub nonsense?

     

    Is there any news on timmings or sequence of events for the night yet? I have been looking but haven't found anything yet but assume that I have missed something.

    Hi from near Lismore. Had to come into the Base today for internet access for work.

    Absolute carnage up here - never seen anything like it. Still no NBN or Telstra/Optus 4G in many areas (ie no 000 access).
    Fuel still scant.

    Food re-appearing.

    The carnage about town is unfathomable. Fence posts hanging off power lines (we're talking in hilly country too, metres and metres above the ground).

    Anyhoo, I've a barcode for R1, I simply can't get there, sadly. The Wednesday night schedule is most inconvenient. Will be at Metricon for the Suns though if any DLers will be there.

     

    Barcode R1, hit me up

    I am very sorry to hear of the terrible conditions you have had to endure, and I have a daughter in Brisbane which has copped heaps as well. One thing which did make me smile was your reference to "Fence Posts Hanging of Power Lines" which sounds like one of my training reports from Casey!

    Not certain what Rivers' injury status is Dub but he must be doubtful.

    Will miss at least the first two rounds. 
    Petty I’m not too sure about. He was 4-6 but that was a little while ago.

    If we were playing Richmond or Essendon I'd give us a hail Mary's chance of 80,000.

    However Dogs have a small supporter base and many of them simply won't turn up to an away game on a Wednesday night. That will reduce the crowd by a good 20K and neutral VIC fans that want attend multiple games will have 4 other choices of games to attend during round 1.

    60,000 tops for this one. However, we'll get a bigger crowd for the Essendon round 3 game.

    I don’t wanna leave the ‘safety bubble’ that is a totes happy and comfortable off-season. I feel like it’s only six days until we’re thrown to the wolves again. 

    Me, next Wednesday:
    “Hello stress, angst and nervousness! Haven’t seen you guys in a while. Come on in and take a load off.”

    Anyone got any idea what time the flag raising and festivities start? It's a Wednesday night gotta plan some stuff. Can't find anything on the website

    I can't find any details either.  it would be at least 30 mins before kick off so we'll have to plan to get there by 6:30 i reckon

    apparently the largest fireworks display ever at the MCG is on at half time

    That really going to offend the “no noise at sporting events brigade”.

    Just watched the latest training video with ANB on the mic. 
    It’s obvious the blue team is the firsts and the red is the seconds. So from what I saw, Harmes was in red. JJ, Sparrow and Hunt all in blue. 
    Both May and Salem featured prominently (in blue of course), so good sign they’re ready to go. 
    Did not see Hibbo in the video.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
