Probably because they are taking into account that Geelong get no real benefit of finishing first (no home final) so they are making it easier to get up and back the highway for their supporters 

One would think they would put one of the interstate games on Saturday night, especially as Freo and Bulldogs will be playing on Father's Day.

    Sucks for the Dogs. Hope Freo smash them.

    Bizarre that there is no game on Saturday night!!

    Advantages to whoever loses out of Cat and Woods, as they go up against a team with one day less days and coming from the West. (Addit: same amount of recovery days, reacted to LH's error.)

    Whereas if we or Sydney lose, we or they get a team coming of a day extra, although from the north.

    Hopefully, they don't sell the two MCG games on the same day as it will bring the Ticketek website down.

    As we are playing on Friday night our tickets will most likely go on sale on Tuesday morning.

    Therefore keep an eye on your emails for one from the club which has your Barcode(s) necessary to buy tickets.

    Anyone know what the go is for MCC? They have created the event, but no info on when and how to buy visitor tickets or reserved seats.

    I reckon it's a typo and club members would be on the Tuesday

    The winner of Melbourne vs Swans is gifted a dream run to the GF.

    On the flip side, the loser faces the tough draw to the GF, having to play one of Geelong or Collingwood to get there.

    QF is actually a must win. 

    But if we win we will likely play Pies and the Cats in the GF so I guess we need to beat them either way 

    but I get it’s the easier way to the GF

    Was hoping Freo would get Geelong, then Collingwood, Richmond and Sydney were all in the same grouping, after we win the QF

    Then we would've had most likely:  Fremantle, Brisbane or Carlton in a prelim  lol

    The dream result would have been for Collingwood and Carlton to draw.

    Would have meant Geelong v Fremantle, Collingwood v Carlton and Brisbane v Richmond were the other games.

    Which in turn would have meant that the winner of Melb v Sydney would have gone into a prelim to play the loser of Geelong v Fremantle or the winner of Collingwood v Carlton.

    Edit: none of the above is true. Collingwood losing would have been better.

    Why would that be preferable to a Loser of Geelong v Fremantle and winner of 5v8 Brisbane v Carlton playing us in a prelim?

    You're right. I have no idea what I was thinking. Collingwood losing would have put Brisbane 5th.

    Hopefully it’s a bit like the 1987 game -blew them away 

    Personally I think they are real threat to us they seem to match up well and their backs are pretty underrated

    We need to bring our best and I hope it’s a very very pro MFC crowd just like it was in ‘87 

    If I remember correctly it was T Viney that kicked the first game that day to get us going - maybe J Viney this time 

    87 v Swans was awesome. Great experience. The week before v North the crowd was even more primal.

     

    This weekend could not have gone any better for us. Our best is THE best. Again.

    So this finals structure is like a Dan Brown novel according to the ‘efforts’ in their thread.

    Lock it down, people! You’re embarrassing yourselves…

    No.  We chose our seats on the Ticketek website when purchasing the tickets. 

    Hopefully, the system allows us to choose our seats rather than the computer 'allocate' seats and then have to try and change them on the website.

    My tip is to check check all the info on Ticketek in advance of the tickets going on sale.  And have the membership barcodes which the club sends (hopefully tomorrow) ready.

    Just had a look on Ticketek. 
    It said club members can purchase up to 10 tickets. (I thought is this right?….) I then looked at the Cats v Pies game and club members can only purchase 1 ticket. Obviously both Victorian clubs with large supporter bases.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
