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.

    Anyone know when they are available?

     

    Won’t be.

    AFL has declared first round no walk up.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
