    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

A lot of MCC members would have reserved a seat on level 4 to make sure they get a ticket just in case but they'll walk down to sit on level 1 or 2 on the night.

Yep i'm going by myself, Reserved on level 4 to gain entry/worst case scenario, but will be watching from one of the little terraces.

What row in M4 are your seats?

@Wodjathefirst

Row H.  (8 rows back?) Allegedly I’ve been told I could easily pass off for looking like a Collingwood supporter 

Other accusations (far less offensive) is I have been asked a few time ‘are you Max Gawn’s  dad?)

Look for a tallish old bugger that is bald and has a grey (white) longish  beard

I will definitely look out for a ‘tallish old bugger that is bald and has a grey (white) longish beard’ but it might be difficult to find you since that doesn’t really narrow the field down much. Every second bloke at the footy fits that description! 😆

I’m better looking and more modest than every second bloke- which I guess makes me very average-  Seat 15

I’ll pop over to say hello! I’d invite you to come say hello in my bay but I can’t guarantee your safety: there’s a lot going on in the first few rows of the cheer squad… A LOT! It’s bedlam. Flagpoles being waved around indiscriminately, giant heads aplenty and don’t even get me started on the floggers!

The cheer squad is always in Bay M3. So you’re safe. 😄 But good luck with remaining sedate! 

I usually sit there, saying little, just riding the bumps, with a grin.    But my darling who did not follow a football side absolutely loves the theatre of a game, so she says what I am thinking, that way I still have some sort of voice left.   Go Dees

Now I know why Melb has  had such a spreadeagled MCC seating membership all season on the upper levels. 

This is called DOUBLE DIPPING and the MCC should be calling this out if any member is discovered doing this on Match day and penalising members who practice this selfishness. Ultimately leads to when the seats are needed to some members missing out or their families being penalised. 

Hopefully Covid style ticketing can also be discontinued and the previous systems reintroduced which hopefully are honest and not capable of being defrauded.

I am simply going to stand by myself behind the seats on level 1.

Usually I just rock up without reserving a seat but this is a final and I was concerned it may reach capacity.

It's the MCCs fault, they should just open up all seats to reserved seating, that way people could reserve the seats they actually want without going through the charade.

If anyone has a ticket they’d like to sell, please let me know.

There's still tickets available in GA. Albeit level 4 at the back.

Just did a test and seems ticket allocation is slowly but surely filling up.

You'd certainly hope for a crowd of at least 70k.

Sydney has a sizeable Melbourne supporter base which last I heard was around 15k Melbourne-based members. Throw in around 10k supporters coming from Sydney, and then hopefully 35k-40k (at least) Melbourne supporters and members, and then neutrals, plus corporates... 70k not outside the realm of possibility at all. 60k+ a bonus but anything below that would be a huge disappointment.

Do you know which rows of level 4 are walk up? 

I'm an MCC but booked reserved seats. Got straight in just after 9 am and the best I got for three seats was row Q which is a fair way back. 

Strangely or not its the front rows Row A up to about Row S right across Level 4..  Booked Level 4 seats are all 'up the back'.

Terrible.

Not sure what you are talking about. All of level 4 in the mcc went up for reserved seating.

That's not what the Ticketek map shows. It shows the shaded areas for booking on the ground map and they're all up the back. I got connected in 10 minutes and got Row S.  Should have got Rows A, B, C etc. if your theory was correct.

But then again the Ticketek system is a disgrace so who knows.

What I know for certain because I tested it with someone else during the booking turmoil, is that whn the site says"  your in a queue so don't refersh or you'll lose your spot..."  this is NOT true,.

There is no queue.  You just get connected on luck.  I saw this with my own eyes.  I was looged on and waiting for ever, a friend sitting next to me logged on - got connected in 2 minutes - I'm still waiting.

Yeh, I was under the assumption that Level 4 was entirely ticketed. Thought it had been all year? 

And explains why my seats were row Q even though I was on ticketek before 9 am. 

Weird.

When I was on, the green shaded area was for all the bays rows A-MM, except Q47 and Q48 because rows A-H are dry bays and are sold separately so that is what you may have seen?

This is per the MCC website for our game:

"A dedicated amount of walk up seating will be available on Levels 1, 2 and 3 the Members’ Reserve.

Reserved seats will be sold on demand. Any unsold seats will become additional walk -up areas. To view the Members’ Reserve seating map, please click here."

No mention of level 4 and the reserved seating map expects level 4 to all be reserved seating.

They used to have half of level 4 as walk top but that was from rows Z-MM not the other way round which would just be stupid.

We will see next Thursday when they post their walk up areas but I suspect you are wrong.

Well done - your'e 3 rows in front of me!!!  Will be lots of Dees around us at least

Level 4 was all ticketed in the early days.  Pity not for finals though.

I agree it would be stupid,  but that's what the ticketek map showed, the MCC map is incorrect and just a generic map.

As menitoned by another poster on here, logged on at 9.00am and got Row Q. I looged on at 9.10 and got Row S.

Physically impossible if all of Level 4 was ticketed. My experience also.

The MCC and Clubs hand over all ticketting to Ticketek in finals. Only one map counts.

I shall be queing up now to get a better walk up seat which should be fairly straightforward.

Ticketek now shows all pre-booked areas sold out.  Level 4 will  not be full because of this issue.

Enjoy the game and the week's break till the prelim!

The MCC informs the Afl/Ticketek which bays are to go on sale and they are the bays in that map. It is not generic it is specific to the 2022 finals series weeks 1-3.

Was chatting to someone yesterday who was telling me the MCC are unhappy with the 'double dippers'. People who get a reserved seat and then take up walk up seats. Don't shoot the messenger just passing on what I heard. Seems to me this is a problem of the MCCs own making (all tix should be reserved for finals if you ask me,)

Suggested they would open the gates earlier for those that haven't already secured a seat.

Logistically this would be a nightmare but I guess its possible. If you have already secured a seat through Ticketek then your bar code wouldn't give you access to the ground until an hour after those that had not secured seats.

Will be interested in seeing whether this eventuates,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
