    “Restricted view” applies. But great for those who missed out and would like to be there.

    How can restricted view be good? Better to sit in the bar of a good hotel and watch on tv. Drinks are probably cheaper as well.

    Some people love the experience of being there at the ground regardless of how good or bad their seats are.

    I just remembered something: I have a restricted view at every match. And not just because of flags and giant heads. Even when I’m in the front row, since the goalposts obscure our view. And there’s this one umpire, I can’t remember what number he wears but he simply cannot stay still for even a millisecond when the play is up the other end. He slowly paces and jiggles around and is so distracting. He even has the horrid Rafa Nadal habit of picking his underpants out of his Khyber Pass. But I wouldn’t wanna sit anywhere else. ❤️💙

    Not all of these tickets we're "Restricted View " applies.

    Hopefully D/Lers read the MFC website email information if they were keen on going OR maybe some just gave up when they read about the "restricted view applies" as above.  

    Despite the very honest  attempts to .provide accurate information for DLers by D/Lers I use and generally and universally trust the official Club email and other media forms.  The exception is from the Demonland posts which generally reports TV and radio plus print media and are reliable and trustworthy.

    info from our posters is in effect a full range of a dogs breakfast up to a fine supper. 

    But in Oz we have a choice to take a risk or not.

    I love Demonland for the huge range of footy views, and so many other posts on the greatest Club we all love. 

    If D/Lers are keen to post info to help others please double check your facts or put a spoiler for them to double  check.

    In reality for most of our game you should be able to move seats easily.

    Not sure how you can do it but if they are going to persist with double headers you may need to rethink ticketing.

    One way is to use the Wimbledon system. *If you leave Wimbledon you get a pass out which you give to the Salvation army or similar on exit. They then sell the passout for ten quid. This would give perhaps an extra ten thousand seats for the second game and the charity gets $100k plus. If you reversed the order of the two games and put the more popular one first you might even get a better result. Combine with some entertainment in the park and you have an event

    * Not sure if Wimbledon still operates on this system. I was there in the early 2000's

    Okaaaaay. I should’ve said “some restricted view applies”

    Can I now assume my info has been upgraded from a dog’s breakfast to fine supper?

    Cheers 😘

    I agree I would much rather be at the game. However there is no chance I would spend all the money required to see the game in Adelaide to then have a restricted view.

    the practice match at Casey against Richmond behind that cherry picker for the cameraman certainly gave us an idea of restricted view!!!

    I am planning to attend both the Anzac Eve and Kings Bday games.

    I will most likely buy GA tickets. 

    Is the area right behind the Demon Army GA (all of it in level 1).

    I am always confused on what parts of the G are considered GA. I guess it is all areas outside of MCC reserve, AFL reserve and the Demons reserved seat areas.

    No it does not work like that. 

    GA areas are parts of the ground where you will  be able to walk up on the night and sit anywhere in those bays.

    However, for games like Anzac Eve and Kings Birthday all of level 1 will be pre-purchased reserved seating and parts of level 4 will be too. The MCG puts the GA areas up on its website 24 hours before the game.

    The Demon Army will likely have all of bay M3 reserved for the Demon army and Melbourne supporters so you may be able to sit there.

    If you want to make sure that you are close to them, reserve a seat in bay M2 which still has a little bit of availability.

    The GA areas for Anzac Eve will likely be all on level 4: Q49-Q55 rows AA-MM, Q1-Q7, Q8-Q15 rows K-MM, Q29-Q36 (Based on current ticket sales)

    Curiosity question.  My understanding is that a member who has a reserved seat is given opportunity to buy guest passes and if they do they are reallocated to another section with designated seats.  
    What happens to the seat that the member normally would be seating in?  My guess is that it remains empty for the game.

    I am oh so hoping that we outnumber the opposition supporters. 

    It is our home game after all! So… not caring if you are a member or not (or even just a Richmond hater) please turn up (those of us that can) and support our boys.

    It is the most tangible way we can help our team on game day.  It is the least that they deserve.

    In response to your other question, yes the reserved seat would remain empty.

    it is highly unlikely that we outnumber Richmond. If we can break even that will be a good effort. I am thinks 35k of us and them and around 5k neutrals.

    So, maybe a silly question...  but if I turn up on the day with my GA membership, will I still be ok to get in?

    Absolutely ;)

    But if you want to be in the first few rows of the punt road end i would suggest getting to the ground before 6:30.

    The final GA areas have been announced and there isnt a lot

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • 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.
