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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
