Of the 50K who have signed up I'm going that half are either AFL, MCC or reserved seat holders. So I think around 75K is both accurate and a good effort considering a Wednesday night and Im not expecting there to be more than 10K bulldogs fans.

For context Carlton Richmond has sold 75k so they will get close to 90K tomorrow.

Great day to be alive boys.
Now get out there .... AND PLAY YOUR FORKEN GAME!

I got asked to do a double shift at work. I said nup cannot do it. I said to a colleague I've been waiting to see my team unfurl a premiership flag & I'm not missing it. I just hope we win & win well. 

Looking forward to seeing them live & the roar of the crowd. Will stop by warnie's statue to. 

Go Dee's!!!

[Willmoy1947 3,814]

Maybe this one is for Goody, after incessant attacks, it should be..

[Satan 2,786]

For those going , enjoy the flag un furling and Go Dees

[BigFez 1,411]

In isolation for this one.  Close contact.  Can confirm the new premiership jumper is slim fit.  I am not slim and as such it is not a great fit.  

[640MD 3,007]

All things being equal we should win and win well in the last quarter, but     it is my demons

 

double but   we are a different team these days   we proved that a couple of times last year

 

So I believe the hype   Go DEES

[WalkingCivilWar 33,628]

Crazy Dees lady be rocking dem red n blue weapons

Football is way importanter.

I think I may get a little emotional walking to the G through the carpark. Just being back & seeing the masses of people & our fellow premiership supporters. Surely we will outnumber the doggies fans tonight

A different lead in to our R1 game last year.

Anyone else heard the rumour lever could be a late out?

Went for a run this morning and came home minus my left wireless earbud (only bought them on Monday 🙄).

Saw my son had messaged me overnight to tell me Scott Hall (aka Razor Ramon) has passed away. He was our fave wrestler back in the day. 😢

Locked myself out of the house (again) so had to wake my teenage son, which is never pleasant before 10am. 
But it’s all good since whenever I have the bad luck coming in threes thing happen on GameDay… Dees win! 
Also, this from today’s HS…

 Not dissimilar start to the day for me. Shocking round of golf (23 pts), drove to Waurn Ponds station and jumped on the train only to find I was on the way to Warnambool. Got off at first stop - Winchhelsea. No taxi or Uber. Got mate to drive over from Torquay (40 mins) and deliver me back to Waurn Ponds station to start again. Still hopeful I'll be in time to see flag unfurled.  Round one 1965 I was 13 yo and would have been at the game but can't remember that unfurling. Can't miss this one.

Newbie Question, First time permanently back in Melbourne in 12 years... I bought a Demons Seat Plus Area - Reserved Bay Membership. Does that mean I find any seat in bay M13/M14 or will a seat be chosen for me each game?

[whatwhat say what 19,741]

tommo in; lever out?

[Mazer Rackham 14,970]

No probs. apparently if you have a few players ill you can petition the AFL to delay the game.

Bay13/14 pick your own seat.

[Jaded No More 59,177]

If no Lever I am not sure we can win. That’s more than half our backline missing. 

Lucky it’s a long season.

I've seen this posted here, but just seeking clarification...Is the carpark completely closed for General Public parking? I have consulted the MCC site, which is vague at best.

 

If this is the case, what a complete disgrace. It is a Wednesday night. People want to get home early. Why on earth would you close the car park?  No doubt the metres will be patrolled all over Jolimont. I have an elderly father, he isn't disabled, but relies on driving in. There will be no parks within 2km. He will struggle to walk and why would you want people crammed on public transport. Complete balls up 

Yep, drove here hoping to get in still but only allowing disability permit holders in. Managed to get a parking spot 800m away though so could’ve been worse for us.

[Sigil 972]

I reckon the Bulldogs will come out breathing fire.

MFCSS is still strong with me despite the glory of last year, but I can't wait.

Our baby had me up at 3:30 this morning, but I've taken the day off tomorrow so I can stay up "late" tonight and continue to try and get her first real word (she babbles a lot) to be...

Maxxy!

[dees189227 11,018]

Well I'm in the ground, the team is up with lever in it & Bedford sub
