No issue with this but maybe the AFL could let one of the clubs without any of these games have it.

why? the afl is all about maximising revenue - these two times will get double the crowd of a north / footscray / st. kilda match-up

we're VERY lucky to now have two regular 'blockbuster' games in our calendar

 

Speaking of the Kings birthday weekend I see there will be no walk up tickets available only way in now will be to buy one of the reserved seats still left. Success has its down sides. A normal club membership no longer gets you a seat.  Oh thank you God for Kayo.

Instead of being your usual pessimistic self why don’t you upgrade your membership for one game and spend $28 to sit in a Melbourne only bay on level 1

biggest home and away game we’ve had since the 60s and you don’t want to be there

You do realise that it may not be a question of cost. Not everyone is comfortable around big crowds, especially as they get older.

I was talking with the better half about this the other day.  We moved up to NW Vic about 9 years ago so rarely get to games due to the travel and young kids.  Kayo has been the best investment I have ever made!

I was living in Melbourne from 2011-2014 (peak Melbourne period) and used to take comfort getting to games right at the start with a GA ticket knowing that I would nearly have a row to myself.

Its crazy (in a wonderful way) how far we have come.

What's even crazier is if we can keep winning - and the pies do also - are we a shot at the biggest ever H & A game for this match?  Could be top 2 teams which would be incredible!

Probably a bit rough here FTB.  I'd love to take my parents to more games but they really struggle now in such large crowds and would much rather watch from home.  I know a few others in the same boat.

In fairness to FTB ..old dee didn’t mention the above reasons he talked about not being able to “rock up” …

Well if those were the reasons mentioned I wouldn’t have said what I said. But they wernt, it is simply someone who is always so negative on this forum complaining again about not wanting to go to games. In this case, because everyone needs to reserve a seat. Nothing to do with anything else

The advancing Years have reduced my abilities FTB. Kayo for me at all big/ night games.

A very long time since that has happened. Great.

I notice the MCC is putting 4 rounds for sale on at the same time (Rounds 12-15) - a total of 7 games including Melb v Coll and Melb v Carlton and Carl v Ess

 

These people are complete idiots. It will be chaos, the  system will likely break again and fans will be left without tickets.

 

Ticketek are the most frustrating organisation on the planet next to the AFL.

 

We are supposed to buy tix for the Carl game and then the Coll game in two separate transactions. It will take hours to get online waiting for the start time and then get online to buy tix - twice.

If you are quick enough, you can buy tickets for the games in the same transaction normally.

Now this coins, is a hobby


do not expect these coins to inflate in value.  They are collectable but not to become extremely rare.

they will all be uncirculated there will be thousands of them   They will not be rare.

if anyone wants one in 10 years the dealers will gladly sell one .  For their small profit of course,

they do have 2023. And she is dead. So that’s different but they are not circulating coins. 

Now if they put out circulation coins with a dead monarch  that’s a big different .

get them uncircumcised and you might be onto something  depending on how many they put out.

go Dees 

 


Wrong thread. Too many thumbs

The Monarchy Holiday will be gone within ten years. Will they keep the day as a public holiday or move it?

Who knows

It now sits in or near to School holidays so they may look for another day to spread the economic benefit

Right then,

Uncirculated, perhaps? Otherwise, who, exactly is "putting out"? And what?

  • 2 weeks later...

So. I rang the club a week and a half ago and the staff member I talked to on the phone said the issue with Redleg guest passes was the GA sell out.

He told me he could hold 4 for me, I’ve tried to call yesterday and today and can’t get through at all. 
 

Anyone else having the same issue?


I’ve actually just checked and I have 4 tickets marked “upgrade only” in my mobile membership area.

Which is curious as I’m not planning on asking mates to pay for a reserved seat they won’t be able to sit in!

You seem to be complaining for complaining’s sake. Again.

Because you just breathe negativity, not sure I’ve ever seen you say anything nice about football or our club. Maybe you are a closet rugby lover.

Not sure why I am bothering but I suspect you are from the nothing is wrong brigade. There is an easy fix of course don’t read my comments that will make both of us happy.

  • 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.
