It's a great problem to have, but it will be tricky to manage. I think only 2 of Hogan, TMac and Weed fit forward - we tried the 3 tall fwds earlier in the year and it worked briefly but then failed. We've got it at both ends. I think also probably only 2 KPBs fit too - that's currently out of Lever, Frost and OMac. We've got Keilty and Petty developing there nicely too - although they will be more patient. The added curve ball is that Hogan and Weed could play great football back too, so that may be a solution to the forward problem but add to the defence problem. It will come to the crunch in 2019.

Thread definitely should not be closed - there are too many revealing posts.

Selwood's clapping a "nice" touch too.

I just want to post this here to acknowledge what is at stake, this is the Geelong way ...

Heard a bit of "WEED" call going up last Sunday. It would be good it that took off.

I think they alternate the bays - except for directly behind the goals I've got a Level 1 aisle seat - expect Cats bay next to me.

Richmond member at work got 2 tix at 11:20, i.e. 20 mins. Ended up going "Best Available" and they are in the nose-bleed Northern Stand Level 4.

You've got a very long list of favourite commodities there.

IMO that's not correct. Weed is a beautiful kick, I watched it on "all the goals" and that spun as a perfect drop-punt with late fade - only the best can kick that kick. http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/2018-08-27/rd-23-all-the-goals 4:50

Telstra provide the infrastructure but AFL Media provides the content

Incredible that there is no prominent notice on the homepage of http://www.afl.com.au/ - there's nothing in the carousel at the top, there's only a text link to a story and that's buried 5 down the list. But there still IS a link to "The Finals - Get Tickets" underneath the Match Centre widget (That widget is a disgrace btw - does not update properly when matches are in progress)

Yeah right

WA Optus Oval ticketing is with Ticketmaster and they don't seem to have had any problems. Is it the venue, i.e. the MCG that is with Ticketek?

The AFL and Ticketek send Scarlett Johansson around to your place with a personal notification and apology

How stupid is it that they sell BOTH matches at the same time!?!? With modern cloud computing services like AWS and Azure that can be ramped up on demand there is absolutely no excuse for capacity problems except for total incompetence.

He could have easily kicked 6 yesterday. He is impetuous but he's on the verge of an explosion. Goodwin said the team wasn't far away a few weeks back and he also said the same about Petracca.

I think there's a good chance Gysberts would make it if he arrived at the club now. Development is a lot better and he could play.

Two emergencies held over sounds like late change.

Heave-ho

Stringer is a total joke in the ruck. They'd be better with Tipper in there.

Pretty disappointing that he failed to make the distance from 40m.

2A is actually the third level, in the open in front of the corporate boxes - they call them level 3. Level 2 is squeezed in underneath, it's under cover elevated and close to the action but I don't like it because it gives a "letter box" view with the roof quite low - and reserved seating

I'd wing it to 2A at the Punt Road End behind the goals, it's going to be a sunny day, but if you like sitting on the wing (I used to) then go for the upgrade

I've been in the Ponsford vs Hawthorn this year and it is good viewing. Have you tried 2A at the Punt Road End behind the goals?
