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

Won’t be.

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?

Crowd estimate? 

Looks like our estimate of 50-60k is way unders.

I think they are expecting mon 80k based on current sales

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?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Having convincingly defeated last year’s premier and decisively outplayed the runner-up with 8.2 in the final quarter, nothing epitomized the Melbourne Football Club’s performance more than its 1.12 final half, particularly the eight consecutive behinds in the last term, against a struggling St Kilda team in the midst of a dismal losing streak. Just when stability and consistency were anticipated within the Demon ranks, they delivered a quintessential performance marked by instability and ill-conceived decisions, with the most striking aspect being their inaccuracy in kicking for goal, which suggested a lack of preparation (instead of sleeping in their hotel in Alice, were they having a night on the turps) rather than a well-rested team. Let’s face it - this kicking disease that makes them look like raw amateurs is becoming a millstone around the team’s neck.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.
