I’m doing the same, first time I’m not going in the AFL and choosing to go in the MCC for a Melbourne home and away game willingly in years. 
 

AFL is a zoo against the Pies, as expected considering they are animals and barely human beings.

 

I think the round 24 game will be more tolerable as it's our home game and we'll have far more representation.

However the whole Maynard circus is going to be at its peak on Neale's day.

We'll boo him. The morons will then stand up and clap him and drown out our boos. Then they'll be at their feral worst at the end of the game if they knock off us.

The only game of the year I'm not looking forward to attending this year.

agreed. first time in years i actually expect crowd punch ups. 


For some sick reason getting into it with the Collingwood ferals is making me look forward to it more! Hope we win so we can give them a nice send off wave

I almost had a punch up at a AFL game, twice, first time was the last game at Princes Park when we beat the hapless Carlton, the second time was at a Collingwood GWS game, when I went there to support the GWS against Collingwood in the 2019 preliminary final, was saying Collie wobbles the whole game

Me too - once at Victoria Park, Peter Moore's last game for the Pies, before he was coming to us the following year.

I cheered every possession, they booed every possession....ahhh, great day!

As iterated I'll take my chances and sit with ferals and absolutely bag the Shhhheeit out of Maynard, softly Daicos, the Yank, and anyone else I feel deserves it. Um upon death notice summaries please send flowers to Mrs. Fence!! But I'll take a few out before departure! I have a bag of slitheras, at the ready!

Was only MCC at 10am.

It Sold very well in the first 15 minutes.

Oops, my bad, Yes correct MCC on sale only at 10

I managed to get good seats, after a period of waiting.


I really hope every Melbourne supporter and their dog can get to this game so as to boo that dog that so deserves it.

I don't advocate for violence on the field but I'd be more than happy to see players use all their strength within the rules and laws of the game to remind a certain someone that he unfairly robbed us of a flag as well as destroying a good and decent player's career.

A few touted the idea of fans wearing imitation Gus helmets which I reckon is a cracker of an idea.

I'm expecting fireworks and a big win would probably be the best statement we could make.

The split is likely going to be 20k max of us and 65-70k of them. Any booing is going to get massively drowned out

weird, Ticketek makes it seem like there are tickets but I click on 1 standing ticket and it says no tickets

no doubt theyll be 15K spare seats on the day like usual

What are the chances they'll release some GA tickets behind the goals in our cheer squad end @FearTheBeard?

zero. Public reserve is sold out but for some standing room, AFL reserve will be sold out by this evening at the rate its gone, MCC will be sold out by the end of the week. I can get MCC guest passes for people still.

Its so hard to get above 90,000 with corporate entitlements, member reserved seating and the fact that the MCC doesnt sell as much standing room.

AFL member. Logged on at 2:30. Could only get tickets for top level 7 rows from the back. Bringing oxygen mask 

 

Got a mate coming from interstate - is it completely impossible to get two tickets now? I am a club member, not AFL or MCC, they are the same.

as an afl member...who logged on at 2pm

  • ipad on 4g - got thru after 10 mins in the waiting queue
  • iphone on 5g - got thru after 15 mins in the waiting queue (but was slowly purchasing on ipad)
  • computer on ethernet cable to fibre to the node nbn - was still in the wating queue at 2.45pm

ticketek is useless

  • 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 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.
