I wouldn't have called that a rant, but ok....  🤷‍♂️

On the bolded bit, I have MFC nominated on my AFL membership, but I don't pay any extra for that. That's just a kickback the club gets from the AFL, which then means I'm counted amongst MFC member numbers and get the MFC membership pack. 

Thats it.

Nominating a club of support doesn't give me more of a chance of getting a ticket to MFC finals game vs other AFL members who support a non competing club. And nor should it IMO. That's what club membership and things like GF guarantee are for.

If anything it puts me at a disadvantage of getting a ticket vs club members. Week 1 & week 2 I should be fine, but prelim will be difficult and GF impossible.

Sorry I actually meant to say @leave it to deever as you were responding to his post.

Well the MCC is a different kettle of fish, they own the place so the AFL is just a guest.

I guess it is just a niche thing here in Australia. I don't recall any similar arrangements for seat allocation in other professional sports (e.g. NFL, La Liga, EPL).

Of course its a niche thing to have:

  • None of those leagues have a stadium that 5 teams use as its home ground 
  • None of those leagues play games with any empty seats (excluding maybe the Texans/Dolphins/Jags in the NFL)
  • There is a certain away area/amount of seats for away supporters to purchase

Meanwhile we have a stadium that no single club can fill on its own accord during the Home and Away season. The concept of AFL membership has a place in Victoria where it doesn't elsewhere. I don't think its fair to compare the AFL with any of those leagues.

Hey all have a level 1 bay 13 NN ticket going, I'm sick as a dog and won't make it, someone please take it off my hands $100

Anyone know if N14, Row C is undercover?

I assume that you are in the Southern Stand? If so then Yes but only just. If the wind is blowing towards you then you may get wet. You will probably need a coat anyway for either before or after the match and getting to and from your transportation.

We are falling like flies.  I too am sick and can no longer go.  Ticket is Q54 row A seat 11.  Please someone enjoy it! No cash needed.   EDIT.  I believe the seat is under cover!

NNE winds, should be ok haha. 

I'm a late exclusion with a shocking virus. Ripper premium member seat in M50 row U.

Happy to give to any regulars or you can donate towards my meds!


Bloody hell I had the virus that's going around last week and it wasn't fun! Still getting over it 2 weeks after first symptoms so I sympathise with those who have copped it - I don't think I wouldve made it if the game was last Thursday.

Same boat Gonzo. Mine came about the week of the Sydney game the appeared to go away but got these lingering aches. 

The other question I have is will it mostly be Melbourne members in section N14 GSS?

FINAL ROWS

Geez.  Alot of you guys are falling ill. Transition from cold Melb winters to Spring maybe. Happens here in Bangkok too. I always get a nasty cold when temp suddenly switches from humid to mild with heavy rain.

I hope the players havent been going out in the evenings.

Melbourne and Pies 1st 18 teams look pretty awesome.

Dees have the edge on the I/C bench. Goodwin definitely going for experience. Should be a humungus game close to 100k.

Winner likely to go all the way.

💯 exactly this time last year was feeling like I was on deaths bed but I blame 2 years of being locked up by our incompetent government for the increases of people getting really sick.

I never got sick and if I did I'd be over it in a day or 2 but now it takes weeks and I'm doing nothing different than I used to.

Free seat on level 4 Olympic (It's a Junior) but nobody will stop you. PM

Damn I was hoping this section would be undercover.  First time I've sat on that level and assumed it'd still be back far enough to be under the roof.

Depending on the direction of the rain, row F (which is last row) usually doesnt get wet. 

Ok fingers crossed!  Thanks FTB  👍

(I'm row E)

It's almost like something had a lasting affect in your immune system...

 

Anyone have any issues getting the Ticketek SMS with links to the tickets? I’m getting the reminder to save the ticket to my wallet, except no SMS with tickets.

it should have been sent a few minutes after you purchased tix i think. That might be a follow up SMS?

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
