    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.

    • 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.

    • 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.
