    MCG/AFL should just tell them to get stuffed. It would be good to have it on the screens pre game but trying to dictate to them is ridiculous

    MCG website has top of the Ponsford (Q29-Q36) open for GA Kev.

    That's the entire area isn't it DZ ie all level 4 is GA.

    If so that's brilliant - for me. That's where I want to sit. And I have a GA ticket.

    But it means they will be lucky to get 55k to the game.

    I believe that is the whole top of Ponsford bin.

    I ran into an old friend who now works for the MCG. She was the one that told me our game was expecting 70,000 and tonight’s game was expecting 81,500.

    Ta.

    Won't be 70 i dont think then.

    I can't remember what game it was, a big one last year - the second tigers game maybe.

    GA started half way up the top section of the Ponsford, with the rest reserved seats.

    And that crowd was 70k

    Yes. Dont talk to to corrupt European Sports Goons ie FIFA and IOC.

    AFL is No 1  in Melbourne World cup soccer is nothing.  Just dont talk to those sloths.

    Easy. No big deal.  Put some highlights of footy games on the big screen or put nothing which is better.

    Dont talk to corrupt European sports knobs.

    They (MFC v Blue) might have to delay, if extra time and penalties happen.

    Just heard the commentators (Gee v Cooly) talk about the game tomorrow.

    They will extend the starting time by 5 minutes. So a 7.35 pm start for us.

    They will screen FIFA, on all screens (including the big ones), until our match starts. When we start, the small screens will show FIFA (if necessary) and the big ones will be with our game.

    I thought it had already been extended from 7.25 to 7.30.  Have they now added another five minutes?

    It's bizarre that they've pushed the game time for AFL for another sport.

    I was at the Collingwood game tonight.  Certainly helps the Ferals ( although in my opinion they had the game under control from 2nd quarter onwards)

    For those of us that can , turn up tomorrow

    I don't mind either, I just think it's bizarre. Particularly, with how guarded the AFL are in terms of other codes. It's a huge advertisement for football (⚽️).

    Agreed. But on the other hand they’ll get more bums on seats which equals money. 


    I think the AFL realises that the antagonistic way they’ve treated other codes has been an inefficient use of time and effort. People can enjoy more than one code, but when they make these hard line stances it makes people choose sides and even turns non-hard core fans away. 
     

    The image of Barassi punching a a deflated soccer ball on the front page of the Herald Sun during the World Cup bud period didn’t win them any new fans. 

    This generates good publicity, keeps fans happy, and brings in extra paying customers. It’s a sound business decision.

    Yeah look to hell with it. Show it on the small TV's and plenty of people own a smartphone if they want to watch it during the footy. Big screen is for the footy action and I say this as a big Soccer fan. The times are cutting it fine to begin with, get stuffed FIFA.

    Edit: Maybe half-half screen?

    You could be right. I don't know the original starting time.

    I'll take it as a 7.30 pm start.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
