Just got off the website for Ticketek

To the membership Department

Now   I have been a member for about 45 of the past 50 years.

The last 25 years straight

I have not managed to see a live match since 2019

Covid is not your fault I understand, but I have arranged to come to Melbourne for this weekend

Hoping to see the match.

You sent me the correct bar codes and I thank you for that.

But your Ticketek did not work on my PC after some frustration I used an Apple computer   it worked better but did not complete

There were no spots to get Members tickets unless a paid a significant premium

I used the iPad same problem.   even much more frustration.

I used the iphone,  finally got a screen that said No tickets available at that price   ie as a member.

 

Am I happy    I am sure your are not surprised , NO I AM NOT !

Again, its hardly the club's fault that ticketek can't get it right. Its not "your ticketek", the club does not control ticketek, ticketing is between the AFL, MCC and ticketek.

I hear your pain 640MD, but let's not blame the club because you've had problems using the ticketek website

No advance warning from the club. We missed the commencement time for priority member going on sale and ended up on level 2 of Southern Stand. Not happy. P!ss poor MFC. 

Is it the fault of the MFC? I would think its the AFL, MCC and ticketek who decide the arrangements. Not sure the club has much say in it, probably gave as much notice as they could to members

there is nowhere for the barcode.  Is anyone else having this issue?

Had same problem on laptop. Ended up using app on phone and it had the box for 12 digit number.

Try that Bob.

Big shout out to Hunt who I saw on Tippa for most of the night and kept him quiet. 

Not saying he's our next Hibbert, just that he can be very pleased with his game on Sat night. I like that he's lowering his eyes to find a target this year.

Viney so important to the balance of our midfield. Looking forward to him crunching a few Bombers with his tackling pressure.

Keeping the pressure on the Ess ball carrier is crucial. Get them to panic and turn it over. They like a free flowing possession game. 

I prefer the smaller foward line, especially if its a bit slippery. Weid and BBB are better suited to dry conditions. We did well without the earlier in the season with Tom McDonald stepping up.

Dees by 30

Man with a plan: Tom McDonald

MFC 16 game member and just got 1 ticket.

Can't be many left, as 3 of the 4 bays behind the goals allocated to our club are full. At least that's the message I kept getting on ticketek site. 

Get in quick!

With all due respect, its waaaaaay too early for this type of discussion. Perhaps after prelim week

I reckon Chunk would probably hate this concept anyway. He's 100% selfless.

GFs are for best 22 only. If he is, great. But at this stage, no.

First time, long time.

Whilst I believe that Weideman should and will be dropped for one of the Browns, I do think he's worth keeping on our list for at least the next year. Unless he wants out, lets keep him. He'll want 2 years minimum, and that's ok as long as it's on our terms and his manager is reasonable with where he's at atm, which isn't a position of strength. But if he goes, I trust the club to make the right deal. Thankfully, level heads will make the call, we've done well with trades and recruiting of late.

I do believe he has the physical attributes and skill to improve his AFL output significantly. Could it largely be between the ears/confidence that are holding him back? Choco and Ooze have only been at the club for about 6 months, those two might just be pivotal in any possible resurgence of Weideman this season.

Lets hope so.

Go dees!
