Collingwood haven't played down there since 1999.

Carlton went three years in a row between 2018 & 2020, but not since. Prior to that they hadn't been there since 1997.

Essendon, prior to recent trips in 2021 & 2023, hadn't been there since 1993.

Richmond, prior to their game last season, had only been once since 2012.

Has anyone tried to get tickets using a MCC membership for the Kangaroos game at Marvel?

I can only seem to get L2 tickets behind the goals (at a cost of $60)

In previous years I was able to get tickets on the wing with a MCC membership. Not sure if they've changed the entitlements.

Was that the reciprocal MCC rights thing where it allowed you to buy Centre wing seats for about $60? I do remember that, but have no idea if it's still a thing.

It would have to be considering the AFL now owns Docklands and Medallion club are gifted thousands of the best seats in the AFL members (level 1 undercover, 2 and 2A on the wing)

Yeah you're right Gonzo, on around page 45 of the MCC guide for this year it says you can do it. 

However, @peasant is right. I just tried the ticketmaster site with my MCC barcode and it says 'no entitlements available for this member code'. 

No idea what this is about, season hasn't even started yet and we have to do the work 😑

Layzie you are under the mistaken belief that the AFL care about people going to games. They cater for corporates etc but the average fan not very much.

Hi all,

My 2 Redlegs seats in P7 will be available for King's Birthday as I'll be in the Zoo that is the AFL reserve.

Please let me know if you would like to avoid the chaos of Collingwood supporters - tickets are free of charge.

 

For any GA members that haven't reserved a seat yet for King's Birthday or don't want to sit amongst Collingwood supporters or are worried about the GA area being full, put ur ga barcode into ticketek.

The Melbourne allocation now includes the unsold reserved seats in the Tridents and Redlegs areas in the Southern stand on level 2 and 2a available for sale.

Hopefully these can be bought by Melbourne members before they go on sale to the general public in the week of the game.

Please tell me they aren't selling general public tickets on level 1 of the reserved seating area (M50-M53)?

I refuse to sit with Collingwood supporters, which is why I only go to home games against the Pies (finals not included).

Collingwood supporters are like vermin and are everywhere. How do you manage with other non-football game activities where they would also be present?

I don't hang out at correctional facilities, Centrelink or rehab clinics, thereby avoiding Collingwood supporters in my day to day life.

No, the unused seats in m53 were available under the Melbourne supporter allocation and are all sold out. But you could only access them with Melbourne membership barcodes.

The reason Collingwood people get into our reserved areas is because our members give them their tridents/redlges/demon seats plus cards to get into the ground.

And because the MCG staff don't bother checking tickets, which they absolutely should be doing during sell out games.

We get loads of them try to sneak in, only for us to get them kicked out.

Every year the same story.

If you are a Melbourne member giving away your tickets to Collingwood supporters, please don’t.

We pay a lot of money for our reserved seats and we shouldn’t have to share them with opposition fans. Most especially Pie fans. If you take a friend with you, that’s fine. But don’t just hand your tickets over to the opposition.

I think you should lose your membership. Unfortunately, so many people have dropped off that there is no more waitlist for GF guarantee seats.

You're not wrong. We have the second worst membership (currently 52,000) of all VIC clubs ahead of only North.

The decrease of around 20,000 over two years is ridiculous.

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • 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.

    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.
