Fair bloody call. Imagine he misses round 1 because some AFL [censored] gave him Covid.

    AFL has declared first round no walk up.

    Because their ticketing system is a joke and isn't ready yet!

    In the post GF delirium I kind of lost track with anything other than the flag celebrations. I assume Bont isn't playing next week after being rubbed out for his head high hit on Clarry in the GF? :lol:

    I hope you mean non-members wanting to purchase a ticket on the day and not walk up GA members with their barcode?

    Its rather odd that Queensland authorities are facing a 'roadblock' in contacting his legal team.  One would think Smith would want it sorted asap as the season is about to start.

    Park bench No. 4, Treasury Gardens. Very comfortable, quiet, vacant and often allows for a view of the stars. Short walk to the tram stop in the morning. Ideal, as usual. :-)

    I have a sneaking suspicion that the dogs will be hungrier than us for this one.

    I'd reckon that the Dogs are going to be twice as 5hitfaced as they were at the end of the GF, as well.

     

    Zero chance of 80K on a wednesday night against the dogs with plenty of covid still around.  Maybe they are trying to pump up the game and encourage neutrals?

    how would they even be able to give an estimate when the majority of people attending will scan their imemberships?

    warm weather will help, but I'll be stoked with 60K

    Does anyone know about seating on Level 1? Is it available for general admission? If not, can you then get, or purchase, a reserve seat?

    I sat on the phone this morning for 50 minutes with an "extremely high number of calls" message and finally got cut off with the message "there are no operators available".

    Would like to reserve seats for 5 x GA members on Level 1 just for Wednesday, but it's not critical.

    Unless I misunderstood the AFL email, everyone attending needs a reserved seat.

    interesting, hopefully they are on the same page.  I got this email from MFC an hour ago:

    Melbourne Members will now scan into the MCG using the Melbourne Football Club app on iPhone and Android devices. You will no longer need to redeem a ticket via Ticketek and your plastic membership card no longer comes with a barcode to access the ground.

    The club's email to members says GA entry is available in designated area.  I assume that means areas that haven't been reserved for premium memberships and Ticketek sales.  I'd guess non-reserved GA seating is in the not so good areas.

    Ticket sales for reserved seats are currently available via the Ticketek website. 

     

    I've taken the liberty of outlining the ticket process for anyone reading this who isn't familiar with Ticketek.

    As an aside, @WalkingCivilWarmay like to add to this process as she purchased tickets from Ticketek earlier this week.

    Just got an AFL email explaining how to do General admission on my AFL account.

    The hardest thing was finding the page to "sign in" to the AFL app which is the main gateway.

    Got there but it wasn't intuitive and I can't really remember the path except that it was first to the AFL app and then naviagte to membership which in turn took me to a ticketek site.

    Simple and easy.... no

    Very clunky.. yes

    That sure makes it confusing. 

    I'm pretty sure this bit:  You will no longer need to redeem a ticket via Ticketek  refers to last year when covid rules applied to ticketing and venue access.

    As far as I can tell, a barcode (ie on an electronic ticket from Ticketek or MFC app for members) is needed to get into the MCG.  No paper ticket or plastic member card entry will be allowed.

    Edit:  Don't know what happens for 'tickets' sold at the gate or if walk-up are allowed.

    This may be a case of the blind leading the blind. Despite the much appreciated help I received from you, Luci, I’m still not sure what I did. 
    As I mentioned to you, I wanted to ensure that I could sit where I normally like to, ie., ground level, on the wing, and as close to the fence as poss. I read on here at some point that it was reserved seats only for this match so, not wanting to risk missing out, I just went ahead and purchased through Ticketek. 
    So yeah, short answer: I’m no [censored] help at all. Soz. 

    A couple of mixed messages here. Have a couple of friends that won’t decide until the day if they are going to the game next week and want to know if the general public can walk up to a ticket box on the night and purchase tickets. 
    Someone posted here a week ago or so on another thread that ticket boxes will be open at the G and an article on AFL site also suggests the same. Has this changed in the last couple of weeks?

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
