  1. For the last two seasons my ticketek MCC Reserve seats email on my phone has not worked so I usually take a paper copy to the game. If I forget I join the queue at the MCC Service counter and they print one out for me. The Ticketek service is negligible and Ticketmaster aren't much better but we shouldn't blame the Club as they are working in the AFL ticketing world. They have very little say as to how or why ticketing is handled the way that it is. For MCC members, MCC do not release all Reserve seats at once but rather wait to see the response and then release as demand increases. I received an email today outlining the game day instructions. More importantly if you haven't received your card or you cant download your membership to your phone go to the Memberships Services Team at Gate 3. I'm not sure but I dont think the HUB will be up and running so Gate 3 may well be the only option. Also there are no scarves being given out this year. If you want a card but didn't opt in when you renewed, give the Club a call and ask if you can retroactively opt in for a card. I think the message to all is to get there a little bit earlier than you would in the past just in case you encounter a problem.
  2. The Club have had the specific WWC course along with the WWC for some years. I believe it applies to all Volunteers with the Club.
  3. Did we ever look at Prahran which we have historical ties with. The only problem would be parking but the train station is easily accessible. Stonnington wouldn't be putting anything into it so it would be all Danny. Nice opportunity for our "dear" leader to swan around with the hoi poloii of Stonniington.
  4. I was told by someone last Friday night that nothing will happen to facilitate approval of funding for a "home" for the MFC until after the election. I was also told that they are looking at a second site (apart from the AAMI site). The other problem that we have with finding the funds for a base is that Casey does not have suitable facilities for AFLW teams which will mean that we have to find funds to upgrade the current facilities (I presume with partial or full (Not sure) funding from Casey which in turn may come from the Vic Gov) and also have the ability to fund the construction of a base (with the assistance of the Victorian Gov.). I am not sure how the latest upgrade to Casey was funded. From what I can gather there is a lot going on behind the scene which until something is concrete will not be divulged by the Club. No use spruiking something and it then fall over. We will end up looking like Essendon.🤮
  5. Just regurgitated rubbish that some on here espouse. Watching him at Casey he is a great mentor to the younger boys but we have also seen him play some great games but unfortunately now lacks the consistency. He was preparing for the "after life" so another year probably on reduced pay would be seen as a bonus to him but as mentioned he would be likely to play a slightly different role.
  6. The image of Ron Barassi at the end just did it for me. God I love this Club.
  7. For the last game, my son was in Florence with his girlfriend. Said girlfriend decided she needed to go shopping. No problems. Every minute or so I would get a text - Kozzie, Bayley, Trac, Kozzie. He said he was getting plenty of strange looks outside the leather market and he has never been so pleased that the girlfriend took so long. Is currently in Berlin but organised that he would be home for first PF. All my hard work has come to fruition. He is as mad a MFC supporter as I am.
  8. And don't forget what would have to be AFL involvement in GWS creating a job for $$'s father.
  9. Did anyone have trouble with getting MCC seats. I was in around 9.10 and couldnt get three tickets for level 2, tried level 1 not enough tickets. Ended up in Q nosebleed territory for the first time ever. Went back in and only seats left are in Q and walk up. MCC is going to be rocking Friday night.
  10. Just as the mark was taken you could see ANB in the background go down with a Brisbane player next to him. I couldn't make out who it was but it was off the ball and deserves a look.
  11. If (sorry when) we win the GF I want to see this at the B&F led of course by Trac and Ollie.
  12. I am embarrassed and ashamed to say I walked out not knowing there were still 3 minutes to go but stopped to watch it on one of the TVs in the MCC entrance. It was amazing atmosphere with supporters yelling, groaning and yelling again. When Kozzie kicked the goal everyone was hugging and cheering and then rushing back to watch the game. When the siren went the orange MCC lady hugged me and we kind of looked at each other weirdly then laughed. The atmosphere in the MCC members was like it was when we beat Hawthorn and Geelong. What made me very happy was how delirious the players were when they were walking up the race. We might have fallen into the win but it showed guts and determination not to give up and the result will I am sure provide the impetus to work that little bit harder against Brisbane next week.
  13. I wouldn't trust anything that Collingwood does. I lived through the Neeld era and am still recovering.
  14. Can't stand Pies supporters anywhere, anytime. Especially at the moment as they are even more arrogant than usual.
  15. Yep Level 2 (4 mad and very vocal Demon supporters) - No alcohol area - not many of the filth get up there for obvious reasons.
  16. But its the way you deliver the message. Maybe Max delivers the same message but in a different style to our Jack.
  17. I wonder with Mundy "retiring" if this adds $$$ to their offer for LJ. Can any of the WA posters confirm if he was on big money. I thought he played well last week and was a little surprised that he had announced his retirement. He might of been pushed into retirement.
  18. I think there was a comment made either by a player or Goody that when Jack was captain recently whilst Max was out, the atmosphere in the rooms was completely different. I'm not sure that the players can deal with his 110% style on a week on basis but having him as co-captain brings all the excellent qualities that Max has with a tempered tenacity that his co-captaincy brings. As one other poster said he seems to be happier on the field - less scowling - maybe being a family man now has lightened the load.
  19. There will be a mild earthquake over my way and next week when he runs out on our ground there should be another huge outpouring from the MFC supporters. We'll show Jacko what he will be missing.
