PREGAME: Rd 01 vs Western Bulldogs


Demonland

Recommended Posts

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.

Anyone heard about crowd estimate/ticket sales update? 

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

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

6.30pm from the email

 

AFL history is about to be made and you’re a part of it, xxx

 

On Wednesday 16 March, our 2021 Premiership Flag will unfurled at the MCG, featuring the surnames of our loyal 2021 members.

 

Get to the ‘G before 6:30pm to witness the historic moment of Club greats such as Ron Barrassi and David Neitz carrying the flag on to the hallowed turf.

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].

So you will be sleeping under a bridge or a park bench?

You may even stumble across  @special robertand bunk with him! 😉🙃🙂

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.

General Admin Tickets still not on sale.  

Anyone know when they are available?

 

Won’t be.

AFL has declared first round no walk up.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
