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

    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?

  • Quote

    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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
