Had 2 mates trying to get reserved seats in the MCC for the 3 of us, took them a combined effort of 6 hours to finally be successful . Anyway will be there to boo boo that thug. And cheer the boys on to victory.

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

Not necessarily. When they booed Grundy in his first game with us vs them, we drowned them out.

It was our home game.

This is the thing, likely going to be heavily outnumbered, any booing will be quite futile i'd imagine.

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

Same here, got in on my phone with 4G before laptop on wifi.

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

We’ll be wearing this year’s Big Freeze beanie though. Otherwise we’d be wearing the Gus helmets. A couple of hundred of us wore them during our round one match vs the Bulldogs but unless you were at the ground you wouldn’t have seen them since the camera didn’t capture us during the match and the commentators didn’t draw attention to it. (I guess this falls in line with the AFL’s desire for the whole Gussy travesty to just go away already.) We took it upon ourselves to buy them but the MFC were onboard with it and even ordered and paid for the “GUS” stickers we had on them…

Round 24’s looking good for a return of the Gussy helmets. (Soz AFL, we won’t have forgotten it by then, either.)

Would that make a difference?

Big difference between 35,000-40,000 of us last year and 20,000 this year

We just can't have this mindset we need to have as many there as possible to make as much noise as possible, drowned out or not.

Highest percentage of members in the MCC re clubs is Melbourne, would be very disappointed if we can't at least break even in that area

Will likely be 15K of us in the MCC, 1-2K in the AFL and 5-10K in the public reserve.

Yeah the MFC representation in the AFL members is deplorable when we play Collingwood, for obvious reasons.

Do you think the AFL member will sell out for Kings Bday?

Yep, was up to standing room only an hour after it went on sale today.

Was more than happy with my decision to get level 2 MCC this morning.

suspect 20,000ish of us 60,000 of them and 5k neutrals to get to 85k.


I wish there was some way to ensure only fans from teams playing are able to attend games.

( Especially grand finals).

Perhaps show their membership.

Also there are too many areas taken up by corporate boxes IMHO.

I'm certainly no socialist but when it comes to Afl...it should be available to the man.

And get rid of ticketfek. And those outrageous beer prices. Sheesh. A man ( or woman Stan) should be allowed to drink at his preferred sport without having to check his mortgage status.

End of rant. Thanks.

I was on at 10.20 and level 1 was sold out and level 2 at single seats.

Doesn't add up.

I mean it's not like pies fans are computer literate.

Love the guy in the middle with red shirt stealing a kiss while everyone's distracted. Thought I had that move patented.

75%+ of The MCC reserved seats would have been taken up my Melbourne supporters. 
I got in at 10:02 and it was already selling really well, no surprises that by 10:10’it was single seats only on level 1.

was the same for the afl reserve.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
