I had the same Ticketek timeout problem upon payment however I persisted trying to pay over and over for another 5 minutes when I received an email confirmation of the tickets and the payment hit my credit card.

My other issue was that the link from the club's Gather Round email routed you into the queue for the Melbourne v Essendon game only whereas I wanted to get one of the 3 game multi passes (was unable to change this after getting through the long, long wait queue) so now I'll have to try my luck with the general admin sale tomorrow to "gather" tickets for those other matches.

My mother and her family were all Collingwood supporters.  When she was a young woman she went on a few dates with Bernie Massey who was a MFC player in the 1960s.  She switched her allegiance from the Pies to the Dees and the rest is history.

Did anyone hear Craig McRae say to the reporters “See you in a couple of weeks” at the end of his presser on Tuesday?

Its been reported by Code/HS that his little quip angered a few of our officials and some players

Yep.  Watch from 9 minutes 28 seconds into his presser:  https://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/video/1423543/wherever-we-go-they-turn-up-mcrae?videoId=1423543&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1693878879001

Not sure, I do know I have managed to book my company's corporate box at the SCG for round 24 however 

Here is a sneak peak of me watching us play 

Is that Darcy Moore on the left?

Coming home on the train last night after the Geelong v Richmond match I overheard two Richmond supporters.

Tiger 1: "You know I reckon we can beat Melbourne"

Tiger 2: "Yep, if Gawn, Petracca, Oliver, Viney, May, Lever and Jackson are all out we are a real chance"

There is some sort of "premium edition" Mark Knight poster coming out.  Cost is $70 and MFC members have to pre-register.  Successful members will receive purchase information on Thursday.

Channel 10 news reporting that there will barely be a crowd. Maybe a few hundred.

Could’ve just played the game at the G and claimed the home ground advantage.

Weirdly, if you go onto Ticketmaster and fictionally try to buy a ticket for tonight's game there are about 100 to 200 blue dot seats left.  The rest of the ground appears to have been sold.  I find that hard to believe and reckon Channel 10 will be on the money.

According to the AFL website:

The teams will be wearing their specially designed jumpers for Sir Doug Nicholls Round, which is celebration of our First Nations stars and their culture.

Can't believe this is really happening. 2019!

I'll be comfortable with a 35 point win considering we're underdone. Otherwise I'm tearing up the joint.

Also, can someone help me with the time difference - do I really have to wake up at/not go till bed till 4am to watch from Europe?

At 1:45pm AEDT today in Melbourne it will be 2:45am GMT in London.

Paid it a few weeks ago and every year I never hesitate to renew.  I've followed this club for 40 years and won't stop until I drop.  Yes, at times (many times) it can be torturous to be a member of this team, but you have to keep the faith, keep forgiving, keep buying memberships, keep turning up to the games and just keep supporting them.  That's our role, that's what we must do.
