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.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
