I purchased a 3 game membership for our daughter at the start of the month as part of the Kozzie promo.

While I  If I have to pay extra for a "Reserve Seat" ticket I'll be annoyed but as long as I can get the daughter on level 2, I will do whatever I need to do.

Need an allocated seat to get in. This is the problem I have at the moment as Guest Passes apply to a seating "area" not individual seats.

Not sure if you caught up with the latest on this.

With a GA membership and having purchased a 'guest pass' the club will send a link to acquire a complimentary 'ground entry pass'.

So your daughter can enjoy the game with you on level 2. 

If you haven't received the link in the coming days give the club a call.

The team have certainly popped the hype balloon that was building for this game given our last couple of performances.

God forbid if we lose to a completely out of touch and undermanned Carlton this week. The Melbourne supporter drop off will be significant going into the pies game if we do. 

The club needs a rocking win this Friday night. A game of string four quarter football and none of this picking and choosing nonsense.

A win or loss is worth 15,000 people going through the gates on KB.

If we stink the joint up on Friday night, then I can see a crowd of only 70-75k the following week.

Has any home and away game at the MCG ever been an actual sell out?  Even the record set in 1958 99K+ was not even close.

Just a few weeks back Coll v Carl was a 'sellout' yet barely 80K rolled up.

"sell out" simply means all available tickets for sale have been sold. it has nothing to do with how many people actually rock up and scan their ticket.

Crowd esti? 

I tend to agree with the people saying that if we lose to Carlton there will be a large drop off which I think will only affect MCC walk up areas. People that have paid for reserved seats are still likely to go and I think our Reserved seat areas will be over 90% full regardless.

One thing that is forgotten is that Melbourne hasn't had a Queen/King's birthday home game at the MCG since 2018.

I think it will end up around 84,000 but could be as low as 75 and high as 88.

Thanks, no I hadn't caught up with that, very pleased if it has been sorted. I had a quick look at my emails and haven't received anything yet. How did you hear about it?

Is this a QB type sellout or an Adelaide Gather Round sellout (you know - the one where half the stadium is empty)?

Uninformed question as there has not been aQB sellout before.

A completely failed attempt at satire by the QD.

A month go I bought two guest passes with the intention of using some spare GA memberships for their entry to the G.

When the email saying GA memberships will not provide entry to the G arrived, I contacted the club and they advised they were working with the AFL and MCC to sort it out.  I called the club this week and they explained that complimentary 'ground entry passes' will be provided on request. 

I haven't as yet received the email with a link to how to obtain the 'ground entry pass'.  Will let you know when I see it.

I am trying to convince my husband to attend this one, since we all know that when he is at the ground, we win.

So far, his response was "90,000 Collingwood fans? I'd rather not".

 

Just get him some musician ear plugs, I'll be taking mine just in case the end is unbearable 😉

Pies fans must be doing the heavy lifting here, we have been flat as a tack for a month plus now

A large number of the Dee supporters bought tickets before the rot set in, will they all turn up if we lose the next two?

The email arrived this afternoon with Ticketek '(GA) ground entry pass' tickets enclosed.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
