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.

Oh, thanks.  I misread the table 🤔

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.

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.

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.

Rapt to get the prime slot! Can’t bloody wait. I missed finals last year obviously and missed finals in 2018 due to work travel so I can’t remember the last final I attended!!

BACK TO BACK IS ON!!

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

Kids b&f on The Friday night. Spewing. 

I’m sure your kids would prefer to be at the G watching a final? Start early convincing them 🙂

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • 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.
