Hearing where?

Also, controversial opinion, but I'd rather Luke go and we get Grundy for an early second round pick and make our way up the draft with the picks we get for Jackson with the aim to grab two top-liners. We stay in contention in the now and also add for the future. Jackson will never become the player Freo believe if their contract offer is anything to go by.

What's with the vitriol toward @Grand New Flag? It's a bloody supporters forum. Any information, even if some doesn't turn out to be true should be enjoyed. And the poster has been accurate in the past haven't they? I'd rather have info even if it's sometimes off then none at all.

I know, I was just mucking about too :)

Yeh, I'm still devastated about Blease going there..

Ticket sales update!?

It's a disgrace and I hope enough of us complain about it over this finals series so that next year it all reverts back.

I'd love it to be over 80k. But Covid, the ticketing system, weather and the fact that in 2018 we were playing finals for the first time in over a decade are all reasons why the crowd will most likely be less than expected.

Great news, where'd you read that?

Just got some Intel about Petracca at training today, left early due to a calf. No idea the severity but thought I'd share. Fingers crossed.

Ticket sales update anyone? 80k too much to ask? Looks like a bit of drizzle coming.

It goes A-Z (front row being A). Then AA starts after Z.. You be watching ants in AA.

Yeh, I was under the assumption that Level 4 was entirely ticketed. Thought it had been all year? And explains why my seats were row Q even though I was on ticketek before 9 am. Weird.

Super disappointing that we're still talking about home bases for the MFC going into another finals campaign in 2022 as last year's reigning champs. Either something is pending approval at gov level or we're back to the drawing board and members haven't been informed. All fingers crossed its the former and we get the tick before the year is out. This is the kind of [censored] that sets your club back in more ways than one.

Would love Sheezel and a key forward with the Jackson compo.

I thought that too! Walk up is only 1-2 and 3 no?

Do you know which rows of level 4 are walk up? I'm an MCC but booked reserved seats. Got straight in just after 9 am and the best I got for three seats was row Q which is a fair way back.

Do those parts of the ground only go on sale if what's been released gets sold out? Or do they go on sale at a later date?

We are masters of draft pick flipping. And we'd already have plans in place for all scenarios. Brodie Grundy and flipping our hand to two picks inside the top 10 for Jackson would be taking the mickey. And the chances of that happening are very real.

We're in seventh heaven. Jacko here to potentially win another flag with us and then he leaves and we top up our list with another draft of young high end talent which will only help our chances of competing at the top for longer whilst our core are coming into their prime to hit their prime. I don't think supporters realise how good this situation is for us with where our list currently stands. I think Freo are paying way overs for a player who in my view won't be what many believe and they or West Coast will be paying up big time for him. It's an unbelievable position to be in, I have no emotion in regards to him leaving. Wish him all the best. And already can't wait to see what we'll do with our list for the 2023 season.

The MCC used to have an estimated crowd a couple of days out before a game but I've noticed they don't display that anymore... I wonder how many more public tix are sold post first day of them going on sale. I'm just really hoping we rock up like we did back in 2018. It was madness back then and I reckon it lifted our players enormously for both the Geelong and Hawthorn games.

Heard that too. Thought it was a disappointing result but I've got no idea what sort of insight that gives to what the crowd will be come Friday week. Anyone know what we should have been expecting as far as sales go yesterday? Was ticketek down at all?

I predict 75k.

I will be bitterly disappointed if we were to only get 55-65k at the game and I'm baffled to think that's what some are predicting. There's no excuses now, we're playing in our first QF at the G in how long? 70k min but I'd like to see closer to 80k.

Don't think that's right jnr
