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.)

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
