Still haven't answered the question @JimmyGadson.

 

If the game is "sold out", and the ground holds 100,000, but they're "expecting 90,000", what happens to the other 10,000 seats?

I will say this, if I see Pies fans sitting in our reserved seat area I will get them kicked out. It’s happened before and they were drunk and aggressive. 
I don’t pay hundreds of dollars a year to sit with filth!

Unused Corporate allocations, Corporate boxes arent full, dining rooms arent all full, reserved seat areas arent full, extra standing room for the grand final all contribute. The 95K on Anzac Day this year is about the biggest non-PF/GF crowd you will ever see.

the problem is that Melbourne reserved seat holders give it to their Collingwood mates - they simply show the ticket and MCG staff don't give a rat's backside to do anything. This year i am hoping that because 95%+ of our reserved seat members are going to be attending and reserved seats that arent purchased that are currently being sold require a Melbourne GA member's barcode to be purchased will result in no Collingwood supporters in them.

If you have friends who are Pies fans, you should find better friends 😂

Well my reserved seats are being given to Melbourne supporters (I assume so given his grandfather is a multiple Brownlow medal winner for the club). I am in the afl so more of us can go together. funnily enough all my friends go for Richmond and Carlton which I sometimes think is worse.


3 hours ago, whatwhat say what said:

i'll be in afl members, as i have for the last 12 or so years of moving back to melbourne

i know it happens - i've seen the videos - but i've never seen an issue of violence or abuse; for the most part the bonhomie amongst various supporters is the best thing about attending sport in this country

i can't wait for monday

should be a crackerjack contest

i definitely do NOT want a one point win with spargo goaling from a free kick after the final siren; my mfcss sees me generally having kittens if our lead is less than 42 points at 3/4 time

One of my coworkers never misses a game, but he'll be missing the Collingwood game because last year the Filth supporters abused my coworker's son (who has Down Syndrome) to the extent security was called and the family left at half time.  Unfortunately there are some pretty shocking supporters out there (not limited to Collingwood)

Well in my job I deal with a lot of lawyers and doctors and I know plenty of Melbourne supporters. I guess it just depends on which demographics you mix with 😉

And the numbers ... my mate reckons he's dealt with in excess of 500 clients over a long period of time and only 2 or 3 demons amongst 500+

How many doctors & lawyers, Gonzo)

Up around 500? 

 

Footnote; Same mate reckons we are the most marketable team if we have a long period of success

The name, colours, the Demon, MCG etc etc

That’s deplorable, DP. Unfortunately incidents such as this still happen. Yes, security are quick to step in and won’t hesitate to call in Police and have these cretins ejected, but the damage has already been done. In the case of your co-worker the damage is that they can’t attend another vs Collingwood match,  understandably, and that sucks.

Interestingly, I was chatting to a security guy before Friday’s match. He’s been working at the ‘G for 15 years and of course I had to ask him his opinion on the behaviour of clubs’ fans. Unsurprisingly he cited Collingwood, Essendon and Richmond fans as the most obnoxious. Surprisingly though, he said when it comes to cheer squads, Collingwood and Essendon are up there with the most well-behaved (!) with Richmond and Carlton possibly the worst. (Nice going, Richmond: obnoxious in all areas.) He said the least troublesome were us and St Kilda, but that might’ve been because he was talking to me and was just being polite. 😁 

I once asked a hot doughnuts vendor the same question and he said hands down Collingwood and Essendon fans were the rudest. So there’s the world balance restored.

My partner was called a stupid tncu for cheering a goal last year, she’s not coming. That was in the MCC members!

And I have to say, sitting in the MCC, there are so many Melbourne people that just simply don't understand the rules or have a decent feel for the game. But all clubs have nuffies.

Heard someone advocating trading Salem the other day.

Everyone and everything thing has a price. If Carton or Richmond, who have recent excellent form in this area, offer two first rounders for him, would we take it?

I’ll be doing a perusal of the level 2a tridents and redlegs and see if any of us are missing teeth or shoes

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
