I thought this week's game versus Hawthorn was a member replacement game for Alice Springs game. Is this correct? If so, why is the 'unlock tickets' option unavailable? PLEASE IGNORE: I WORKED IT OUT

Cheers mate. Thanks

I have upgraded my membership this year to Redlegs reserved seating which includes access to the Lindsay Hassett and Jack Ryder rooms. I have only ever had the normal membership and am asking those that have reserved seating memberships with bar access, what is the go with this? Does your barcode simply give you access? I thought these rooms were usually used for sit-down-type functions, so do you require to book a seat/entry? Thanks in advance.

Agree with all of this Chook.

I re-watched the game and kept an eye on TMAC's contribution or lack thereof. I am not for a minute saying he played well but was surprised to see that he did contribute more than I would have thought. This is a summary of his impact on the game. 1st quarter - Hit up mark 60 out, plays on passes to Brayshaw who misses shot/pass to Brown. - Crashes pack ball spills to Sparrow, goal. - Takes ball out of forward line ruck dual, spills to Kozzy for a goal. 2nd quarter - Leads out 5 metres clear 30 meters out from goal, Neal-Bullen kicks over his head. - Marks 45 out, misses. - Brings contest to ground to Petracca who misses. 3rd quarter - Blocks for Brown who marks 20 out. - Had front possy and hands on it for mark and Brown spoils him. 4th quarter - Brings mark contest to ground, Petracca picks up passes to Brayshaw who misses. Some may say this is not a good enough contribution and I went out of my way to find whatever small impact he had, but that is a summary his performance.

That's the question I'm asking. We used to train there. It was our home ground. I am asking the question, why are we not allowed to do this by the AFL? What is the actual reason? Is it because of potential damage to the ground for the weekend? Is it because of supposed advantage? I am not sure as to why it is not a viable option. It is our home ground.

Why can't the MCG be our training base? We are affiliated with the MCC. The club is born out of the MCC. The grounds are in pristine condition these days and would not be affected by the training. I know other clubs have the the MCG as their home, but they were not born out of the MCG.
