I was in AFL members so always hard to tell but my mum who was in MCC said it was probably 50:50. But the final seconds and final quarter you'd think the entire crowd was Melbourne.

I think much of the problem is that we're not a very loud supporter base. We were there last night and last week. We're just not big on big cheering. Finals should be different though.

Agree those last roars were scary loud snd Dees fans all jumped up on their toes !!! 

 

Couldn't see a finals ticketing thread

Ticketing email from the club stating 10 tickets per membership. Can't remember it being like that in 2018, though it was another lifetime ago, so I'm probably mistaken.

Can anyone remind me: do we get the option of tickets in the trident area if our membership seating is there? If too many get 10 tickets that's a hell of a tight bay!

Exciting times!

You will not get a priority ability to select seats in trident/legends/redlegs areas.

But you will hopefully be able to select your bay - which may be where your reserved seats normally are, the below image is how the categories will be allocated and we will get around 75% of the bays. 

In finals both teams get 50% of seats in theory but they will give us more like they gave us more against geelong in 2018.

That's the right attitude.  I've rustled up 8 Dees supporters to come along - go dees!

Good to see people walking the talk. One could say, my daughter when she was little was forced to follow the Dees (born into that religion sort of thing)

Much to my family’s shame she not only became a vegetarian later on in life but worse still, an AFL atheist.

However she has agreed to support the cause and will be coming with me to the G next Friday.  And she also knows all too well if she isn’t noisy enough at the right times, she will be pinched. GO DEES!

I certainly hope you are correct 

Do you know why we would have got more of the allocation when we played Geelong ( who I am guessing would have had a fairly large membership base, perhaps bigger than us)

Secondly, sort of a comment and a question. I would dread getting a great seat and then rock up to the G and find myself surrounded by opposition supporters.  Is there a way to reduce the risk of this occurring?

In 2018 for the Geelong game we could get 2 tickets per membership barcode.   The story was they won't travel to the G/Marvel at night.

Given they have chosen their QF to be Sat afternoon there may be some truth in that story.

Amen to this! 

It needs to be said - thank you!

Really irks me when other supporters at the game dont support, sit quietly, wtf. Supporters got to do their bit too.

I think it’s funny and important to make fun of yourself. I don’t have an issue with it. I have an issue with our fans coming to games to clap politely like they’re at a funeral or the theater. 
Get feral!

I've never been to a funeral where people clap, politely or otherwise.

I did attend the funeral of a well-known golfer and, as they were lowering the coffin into the ground, had to resist the temptation to yell out "Get in the hole!".

I will be patting my knee rug tonight & very firmly - if wearing gloves. 

Seriously though, anyone who lobs up tonight will get in somehow. Won't be raining. No excuses Dees fans.


Went to a couple of music gigs this week (classical - the polite clapping type), instinctively clapped then winced in pain having forgotten about my broken finger. Rookie mistake. Whistled instead - went down well. No clapping tonight. VOICE ONLY PEOPLE!

Too true, go absolutely bonkers. There's few times in life as an adult you can make a total nutjob of yourself and get away with it. This is everyone's chance. 

So 80,000 plus tonight?

I am ready to make my missus ashamed of me tonight at the G' !!!! Go the Mighty Dees!!!

If you don't then you haven't done your job El Diablo! 😝


General public tickets almost a sell out.

Category 1 - N11, N31, N33

Category 7 - very back of Q1 to Q6

nearly but not quite.

Q49-Q55 rows CC-MM never went on sale.

AFL reserve level 4 will be about 30% full.

Reckon 75-80 is a good bet,

Love it. We need plenty more supporters just like you.  If you are still of breeding age you have a job to do.  You know what to do.

Ticketek have just released a whole heap of areas up for purchase now so looks like it won't be as big as predicted. Hope we get a bunch of last minuters jumping on board.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
