They're also now offering walk ups in the AFL members Reserve meaning:

1) AFL members can get free entry if they're happy sit on the top level.

2) They're expecting a rather small turnout in the AFL members. I saw a level 2 seat for sale last night which is unthinkable for a final.

They always put up  bay on level 2 two days before the game.

Its usually N24 for unused dining allocation.

The fact that level 1 sold out surprised me.

 

I have 2 tickets for sale for friday nights semi Dees vs Lions on level 1 M52 seat U12&13 adult cat 1 normally $93 each sell for $50 each

I have a GFG. If I have to go in a ballot, I will be asking for my money back. It’s not really  a guarantee if you have to enter a ballot.

Club has sent out info. Next Thursday 15th is Registration day if we win this week. 

PRIORITY ONE – GUARANTEED*

Membership Types - Reserved Seat/Reserved Bay Members, Grand Final Guarantee Add On Members and Foundation Heroes. Registration Time - 8am – 12pm on allocated day.
* Any Priority 1 Member who do not register in the designated time frame or instead elect to register within the Priority Two or Priority Three time frame will have waived their right to a guaranteed ticket. It does not matter what time you register during the designated timeframe as all registrations will be randomised to determine the order in which tickets will be allocated.

Here's the link. https://membership.melbournefc.com.au/docs/2022-Melbourne-Member-Grand-Final-Registration-Guide_2022-09-08-033824_qlxr.pdf

 

 

So it basically sounds like, thanks for paying a million dollar for priority 1 for the last 90 years while we sucked.  You WILL get a ticket if you register, but that ticket could be standing room only in left toilet cubical. May the odds be with you.

Melbourne supporters are so weird.

Can't wait for the new generation to come through and it's less oldies from south-side of the river who prefer to watch on their 80 inch LG C1's from home to avoid a few raindrops.

Why do our supporters pick and choose so often?

It's a [censored] semi final!

I thought missing the entire finals series last year would motivate at least 45,000 of our 65,000 odd members (not including MCC members) to get to and cherish the idea of attending a final in person.

Guess I was wrong and people prefer to stay at home and listen to BT's mistake riddled commentary where he's been known to call players that aren't even playing. Or JB marvelling about two traditional Melbourne sides in Geelong and Collingwood doing battle last week.

Get to the game peoples!

Yep and you can't pick your seat.

so that's $435 plus the $210 GFG already paid

and this year the GFG was mandatory for ANY reserved seat ticket

edit: oh, nearly forgot the extra $7

You'd think $435 would buy you much better entertainment than Mike Brady & G-Flip (whoever that is). Where has the saving on fireworks been allocated?

Jokes aside, would love an 80 inch C1.

Don't forget the $5 non-refundable fee at time of registration to cover administration fees. You use to get the $5 back. So four teams lets say 100,000 members try for GF tickets that $500,000 for doing what.

For having a really bad website.

God, the AFL for its marketing and $ spent on entertainment, pay big bucks for Robbie Williams. Some folks might like him but he is seriously old school even for a bloke like me. Seriously underwhelming and middle of the road. We have so much home grown talent that would be preferable.

anyone know how many of our members fit these categories? just doing the math on chances for priority 2

I very nearly gave up my AFL membership the last two years. As a Gold tier member i am effectively guaranteed a ticket to the GF if Melbourne makes it... I think I'll hold onto the membership for a few more years at least :p

Post 2018 MFC as I understand it sold its entire quota of GFG tickets and like many teams now has a waiting list for GFG.

Not sure if this changed during covid.

If that's true not much hope for priority 2 is my guess. IIRC in 2018 it was around 50% chance but at that time the number of GFG memberships we had sold were a lot less

31 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

weather forecast tomorrow is 'partly sunny' with no rain forecast

still reckon if we pull more than 55k it will be an excellent result

Not sure where you get your forecast from. Bureau of Meteorology has it down as:

 

Partly cloudy. High (70%) chance of showers, most likely in the afternoon and evening. The chance of a thunderstorm in the afternoon and evening. Winds northerly 20 to 30 km/h decreasing to 15 to 20 km/h in the late afternoon then becoming light in the late evening.

Stuff up - sorry

Just my final thoughts on what crowd will be tomorrow.

34K on level 1, 8k on level 2, 3k on level 2a and 10k on level 4

55k is what that gets me which i still think may be overs but am hoping we get a little more

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
