Red But Mostly Blue

AFLuenza? (Man I hope somebody gets this reference)

Hahaha this is mesmerising!

Hit the DL forum to revel with you all, then plot my approach to getting tickets against the Hawks/Tigers. Maybe buy myself a fancy new cheeseboard to replace the old one? Or is that more of a prelim final self-gift?

This is a great article. Totally agree @Lucifer's Hero - I love that Goody took the time to learn about our history, and impress upon the team just how rich and proud it is. He said the philosophy essentially embodies what the club was built upon when it was great. Fearlessness and togetherness. I'm so excited about all of this. It's taken time, and there have been bumps (and there will continue to be bumps), but I can see that the team is building a new identity with the team as the core. Something the players live and breathe (including new players coming in), and a present/future we can believe in.

Everyone else is having a go, so I'll do the same haha. Attendance at our game will be.... 83,876. You heard it here first. Haters will say I time travelled.

Blighty is prone to a few clangers, but I can't find fault in this. I doubt the players have much time to watch many games, let alone all of them... every round. So their opinion might be limited, based on incomplete data. Doesn't mean the award is entirely worthless, but I get what he's saying.

There is only one right answer in the Maxxy v Grundy debate, and it was delivered last night. Grundy gets more possessions, but Maxxy leads in hitouts (i.e. rucking duties) and his possessions are more impactful. Plus, the beard. Simples.

Completely agree. He's showing all the hallmarks of a classic forward. I hope we see the value in Weids (and give him time to further develop - there's no rush!) and make sure he stays with us beyond his current contract.

This is exactly what happened to me!! I got a message asking me to check my Order History, and the tickets I had selected (and tried to pay for) were there! All I had to do was download the tickets. I've checked ANZ online, and the amount was taken out even though I didn't get a confirmation email. But now I've downloaded the tickets, so it's worked! Hopefully you get the same outcome! Check your Order History :-)

I managed to get to payment, and confirmed credit card details...but then it crashed. When I finally got back in 45 minutes later, the Ticketek overlords told me there might be tickets reserved in my Order History. ...And they were!! N55, Olympic Stand! If you've lost out at the last stages, check your Order History, you might get lucky! Good luck, friends!

AAAaaaaaargggGGGGgggHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (Things are clearly going well on my end) 'Error' after I pushed confirm on my credit card details, and another time (after I finally got through again) when I selected my tickets.

I pushed confirm on my credit card details (i.e. the FINAL STAGE) and it crashed and sent me back to the beginning!!!!! Now I can't even get back in. Worst thing is they were great seats on Level 2, Row F!!! TICKETEK IS A JOKE.

That's a steal! You should buy 2 to maximise the value ?

Completely agree. He isn't perfect, he makes mistakes, but he runs hard, and gets to where the ball is (which sounds straightforward, but it is not something that everyone does well, such as modern times Garlett, the guy being touted as a replacement - who can, and often goes, missing for entire games). On that note, I'm genuinely concerned that I'm seeing his name as a potential replacement for a kid who's having a dip and contributing nicely to a winning team. Garlett has been tried a couple of times this year and has done no such thing, save a couple of moments.

Yep, you shouldn't need your card. The code has been given to you on the basis that you're a member. Maybe just take a note of your member number? Or take a photo of the card? Alternatively, the card is pretty small, so to can throw it in your wallet haha ? These are good problems to have! ?

No worries at all ? Haha same! I've already mentally banked the seat, and the win... So now I just need the actual seat and the win. Don't know I'll be able to work until they're locked in!

I've called the membership team and confirmed this point. The two tickets are in whatever category you choose, no restrictions whatsover. I was also told that tickets are allocated to Melbourne 'areas', so presumably near the cheer squad etc.

Yeah, Nev was stiff to miss out. I know Gus hasn't played a whole year, but I thought he'd played enough of it (all sublime) to be included anyway. Next year for sure!

As it's the first week of the finals, and it's the Dees (i.e not Richmond with millions of members), we should be ok for online purchase. I'll be refreshing every second from 8:58am. Good luck!

I haven't got this 'email' either, but for anyone who hasn't seen this yet, members will get exclusive access to tickets Tuesday 9am-1pm. http://m.melbournefc.com.au/news/2018-08-26/finals-ticketing-information?utm_medium=social&utm_source=instagram&utm_campaign=info+finals+tickets So pumped for this! I'll be there! (I need to buy tickets, but this should be a fairly ok task for the first couple of finals).

Bahahaha - I would be honoured to play my part in a huge win over the Cats!

Friday Night Lights! Huuuugeeee game, and the G will be lit up so that everyone can see us destroy the Cats!

Great summary! I agree, Spargo makes some silly mistakes, but he runs his guts out every game. The kid must be spent, but he'll be huge asset going forward. Yeah, we do have brain fades, but thankfully we are getting better at moving on from them and getting back to business. I love how Frosty and Weids are standing up. They're a couple more pieces in our future! It's getting harder and harder for anyone else to get into this team, which is great!

Couldn't agree more. Beast of a midfield. It's the perfect mix of power and silky skills. Very, very scary!

Great call! The man is a beast, and he's starting to do freakish things out there, wayyyyyyyyy too consistently for other teams' likings haha
