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.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
