Interesting FTB. Where are the standing bays they only open for the GF?

Believe that MCC ends up with a lot more standing room on Grand final day.

    There will probably be 90,000 at the MCG for this finals match between Melbourne and Collingwood.

    At least that's my prediction. 🤔

    I’m going for 93k:

    2018 we got 91.8k against the Cats and 90.2k against the Hawks.

    2022 Pies got 91.5k against the Cats and 90.6k against Freo.

    I reckon we’re good for a few more in the MCC than at a Freo game so guestimaths says 93k.

    undermining the value of memberships most of us have paid for and used for the last 7 months.

    Isn't the value of a reserved seat membership just the reserved seat for 11 home games and the grand final guarantee? As a GA member I kind of like the level playing field that the finals ticket process is currently. I agree with you regarding the questionable $30 'memberships' to access finals tickets though. They should be more expensive.

    Without a doubt every time I try to get finals tickets it only works on a mobile. Never on PC

    I was on both pc and mobile. It was the pc that came up first so I used that. Just luck of the draw I think.

    more like 75k

    the rest is dependent upon corporate and mcc allocations 

    I’ll eat my hat if we get under 90k to this game.

    i would hope it'll be 95k plus change

    but in terms of actual ticket SALES, it's quite a bit less

    Got my 3 members tickets easily this morning. The other 8 I was after for various interested parties got nowhere in the public section --- couldn't seem to get anything more than 1 ticket somewhere random despite being online on multiple browsers right on the dot of 3.00. Looks like it is 3 lucky ones at the ground and the rest at a family watch party at home ...

    Lots of Filth Supporters ringing SEN This Morning wanting to Burn down Ticketek. 

     

    Good, hope they miss out. Its too hard for them to be patient and figure it out, they can't simply scratch an X on a signature line, like they do at Centerlink

    Really hope it’s a true sell out. Hands down the best final of the series unless we meet again in the GF.

    I feel like it’s unfair that someone who pays a couple of grand a year to support the club has the same access as someone who paid $50 to become a member in July. It’s not a value judgement of either person, merely an observation on the access established by the membership concept itself.

    For example I’m not a Trident member, but I fully support those members getting earlier access than me, because their investment in the club is greater than mine. 👍

    Reasonable expectation is that it will be around 93. If the MCC is a lockout which it should be and the corporates show up, it will be above 95.

    Is there a membership level that costs a couple of grand? I'm trident and it's about $600 pa

    Can a person really get priority 1 or 2 with a $50 membership or is it just the usual online outrage?

    One of the great things about our game is that it's still 'the people's game', regardless of Gill's control. We can sit next to oppo supporters and not expect to be beaten unconscious 

    I personally don't have a problem with all members having same time access online

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
