    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.

    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.)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
