GA now available top of Q54-55

Ye I have a check in twice a day because im obsessed and broken when it comes to crowds. I dont reckon they will come close to selling all. Can already tell that there are gonna be excess GA people and not enough seats.

GA areas Shane Warne Stand Q1-Q7 Q8-Q15 1/2 (rows P-DD) Ponsford Stand Q31-Q36 (rows AA-MM) Olympic Stand GA seating not available

They are selling up to row Z in both. GA will seemingly be row AA-MM but it would not surprise me if they put the whole Olympic stand up for reserved seating tomorrow. there are also only single seats left in the ponsford. for context Anzac eve got 70k with twice as many ga areas on level 4

Interesting to see that general admission is now sold out. This is at 11pm so they may choose to put more on sale. for those who plan on scanning in on the night don’t worry you still can this is just for non Melbourne or Collingwood members who don’t have scan in access. think 75k may be on the money, hoping people are willing to get a little wet to come and watch a great contest.

I think it would be good to remember that in Round 19 2018 Richmond and Collingwood got 88K to 1st v 3rd. First time that both teams had been in premiership contention for decades and it was a perfect day. For us to draw anywhere near that would be a miracle and we have a covid world to deal with.

He said the club was hoping for that. There is no chance it will get to 85. anything above 70 is a win.

I agree but considering how many people are working from home there aren’t that many people that will just pop across from the city. for me I’m leaving the office at 5 on the dot to start the pre game experience. Not sure I’ll be upright come 7:50….

It’ll be up on Thursday on their website but it’ll roughly be this and only level 4: Q49-Q55 rows T-MM Q8-Q15 Rows O-DD Q1-Q7 All rows Q31-Q36 rows AA-MM

Just going bases on where ticket sales are at. Level 4 up to row O in the Olympic stand and a few bays up to row K in the southern stand. for QB, Olympic stand was completely sold out and southern stand only had 6 bays of GA. On Friday, MCC on track to just about sell out all reserved seating and AFL reserve about 75% sold out 76K on QB so would take an enormous amount of GA supporters to get it to that number for this one.

Mate I will end up having gone to 19/22 games this year. Weather is an excuse I have never used and never will use. But most people do and it turns people away from all games. Collingwood Richmond got 64k because it was on a cold windy Saturday. I hope that this ends up as the biggest home and away crowd of the year but I’m a realist and we get decent crowds but don’t draw giant crowds at our home games.

There is no chance it will come close to 90. Crap weather, Covid back it will max out at 75. I'd love it to be like Anzac Eve in 2017 when it was a shock to get 85.5K. We just don't have that many supporters. Ticket sales indicated 70K. Friday nights have also drawn really poorly this year.

Goodwin saying the club are hoping for 85-90K is wishful thinking. Suspect it will be between 67-72K. Having said that, weather permitting, the Pies could bring 40K to this and that will make it go close to 80. Very much hoping there 40K+ of us there. Weather should be no excuse, Id happily be sitting shirtless in a hail storm to watch this one. Hopefully our fickle fanbase come out in droves to support this team. Might not watch as good a Melbourne side ever again.

They play the most dire football, its slow and boring. They refuse to use the corridor and in close games we never look like scoring in the last ten minutes. Melbourne are a hard watch. Still far more fun than being 5-13...

I believe everything in our game plan starts with pressure. Don’t believe a word the coaches say when they say pressure drops as a result of the game plan going wrong. no pressure means that oppo entries land 30 metres closer to goal which makes it impossible for lever to play his best game. Steven May is then turning the ball over at half forward rather than kicking to contests on a wing. then it means that our sntries are landing shallow and we have no structure ahead of the ball. midfield, half forward pressure is destroying the game plan at the moment. if we play like we have over the last 6 weeks we will finish 6th and won’t fire a shot in finals. we also have the ability to win our last 6 and finish top. The gap between our best and worse is increasing again

Fixture excuse is the biggest load of rubbish. We beat all the good teams last year and lost to the bottom 4. this year it is the opposite of that. i am clearly having a laugh tho. Expect for Goodwin being a crap game day coach

Mate I’m just taking the [censored]. When we are on from we are clearly the best team in the comp and nobody can go with us. We have a lot of players out of form and we also don’t play on a ground that isn’t afl standard every week. ita all about timing our run, we will need to win our last 4 like last year to head into finals with momentum.

There is no need to panic. The defense has forgotten how to defend. The midfield is getting beaten and cant transition. The forward line is inept. The rucks are out of form. And the coaches don't do anything on game day. Other than these minor flaws with our game, all is well.

Yup there are two tickets left at the back of C14, will send you the link and code

More than happy to say this wont be happening. Even happier to say it wont be trialed when it is 1st v 2nd against a team with two monster Key forwards.

We have bays A10 and A11 but those sold out this morning. We have been given an extra two bays as well now. All of C13 and back of C14 are now reserved for us.

Based on how they changed the reserved seating policy i think its pretty guaranteed that they will be using a half ballot, half reserved seat approach. 3am queuing will be back

I’m not saying I agree with what they are doing, it seems they are alienating 99% of the fan base who didn’t enquire. They mightn’t even like it that I dm it to people.

Funny how everyone else managed to take the time to dm me. There is a reason the club doesn’t want that link posted on public forums, I disagree with that but also not gonna get myself in trouble from them. That’s all they told me on the phone.

I’ve had a look every day since they went on sale Monday. Club hasn’t told anyone and I understand they don’t want people sharing it because it’s a members link only but still not good enough.
