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?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
