I thought both club members tickets go on sale at the same time?

I don’t think so. They’ll have separate times to avoid the site crashing. We get the same allocation of seats so don’t worry.

    Buddy’s celebration is an omen. The last major celebration was last year when he kicked 1000 goals……..against the team that became the premiers.

    Carlton v Swans/Giants/Dogs over Collingwood v Melbourne on the Friday Night might be one of the stupidest decisions I’ve seen the AFL has made.

    Collingwood are the biggest team in the comp, we’re coming off a premiership 2 seasons ago & both teams play at the MCG.

    Thursday Night is a 7:20 game, Friday Night a 7:50 game. You lose a couple of thousand in attendance because of that.

     

    Well done AFL lol

    That assumes they use common sense. I don't recall the AFL or the ticketing companies showing any of that in the past. I'm almost certain they release the members tickets for all four games at the same time for absolutely no reason hut to stress us all out

    I have to miss if it's Thursday. Seven have stated it will be on the Thursday, just have to wait for the AFL to confirm what seven have asked for.

    The AFL can get well & truly stuffed if it’s a Thursday night, so much for country members coming down

    Surely the biggest crowd pulling final has to Friday or Saturday night

    My 8yo will want to go, no way will he be right for school the next day by the time we get home and he unwinds and goes to bed around 1130pm (if we're lucky).

    Slap in the face to the top 4 teams and their supporters having it on Thursday instead of Friday night.

    It's created all kinds of headaches that's for sure. I'll be struggling to get out of work early on the Thurs whereas Fri no problem at all. 

    As mentioned in post game I believe this game will be the biggest shaper of the finals series and whoever wins it has just taken the Queen in the Premiership Chess game. Real shame it it's Thurs..

    I'd rather play on the Thursday and those sides play on the Friday. If we lose, we get an extra day preparation. How would you feel if it was the reverse and we had one less day's preparation?

    Which is exactly what should happen. They scheduled 5 potential finals teams on a Sunday for round 24 to maximize viewership. That’s on them. 

    Play 3 games on Saturday or one on Sunday. I don’t care. You cannot possibly disadvantage a side with 11 days turnaround and have a 12 day concussion protocols. 

    I am sure the AFL in their infinite wisdom will find a way.  
    Why not, as there are only max 3 Vic based teams with home finals play Friday night, Saturday arvo and night, and a EF on a Sunday?.

    Fox Footy already pushing the agenda to have us play on the Thursday. It seems that the AFL does the broadcaster's bidding.

    • 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.
