M35 is the Ponsford next to the MCC I think - southern stand is M1-M28 so you won't be facing the back of the stage. Sounds like they'll only have the northern/Ponsford stands open anyhow

Finally got email at 2:16pm lucky my son is too young for an AFL membership so I got an email to my work account with a barcode so got 10 tickets in M50, will be a different experience in the northern stand 🤣

Still haven't got anything neither have my family

I'm AFL member with club support no email yet either Can non members get tickets? Doesn't seem to say anything about needing a membership to be able to attend

Lol OK mate If that's all they're doing not sure as many will bother going as they expect. They should be making a day of it, having activities for the kids, merch tables setup etc with the game on screens around the oval/Yarra Park. It's a nice sentiment but just trying to replicate the GF experience will fall flat I think, especially if its just being played on the two MCG screens.

That's what I'm wondering, will there be additional things like the regular family days they have? Or will we be confined to our seats while the game is replayed and then the presentation of players/coaches? Also will the replays be confined to the 2 screens at the ground? Or will there be large screens/projectors setup on the oval? Would be good to have some more info.

What are you on about, there's no restrictions on numbers as of last week I assume you'll be offering DA an apology for your outburst

This is a dumb question but where are the other 12 cups housed? Are they kept at the MCG if so where? In the MCC?

They have a contingency plan for this

When I took the kids for the MCG tour and sports Museum back in April the cafe inside gate 3 was open during an average weekday with hardly anyone there. You'd have to assume they'll have at least a few of the outlets open.

Pretty sure it wasn't the media who drummed up Watts' debut on queen's birthday. I remember cringing as they played it up on the scoreboard before the game, showing him in the rooms, running onto the ground etc He was still in high school for heaven's sake.

Did you venture around to see if the demon shop was open?

At the sports Museum? I wasn't sure if we'd get to have a pic holding it or it would be on display only

I think it's only the GF in HD everything else is SD

I went past JB at highpoint earlier and they had the DVD there but couldn't see the victory pack or bluray. Are these out yet or are they delayed?

Checked out the AFL shop at highpoint earlier, so proud to see the MFC premiership gear in pride of place at the front of the shop. Unfortunately not much in the way of kids stuff but hopefully there will be restocking of those items at the Demon Shop in the new year. Edit they did have the premiership Guernsey's in kid sizes at rebel though which is now on my kids Xmas wishlist. They desperately want the tshirt with the mark Knight poster design but its just not available in their size anywhere

No it's on the other side of the MCG. Our proposal was near Jolimont station this one runs along the train track from Flinders St to Richmond station on the southern stand side of the ground

That sucks, does it at least have the alternate commentaries?

That looks horrible - the Docklands is already a white elephant of empty apartments/buildings and they want to extend that across the city from Flinders to South Yarra? Yuck

Ah ok thought it was meant to say AFL 🤣

Happy when he left, similar to Watts they just didn't have what it took to take it to the next level.

What is "AL" Premiers? Is that a typo on the footy??

I'm not a huge one for memorabilia either (though I did get the poster and got an xmas present for mum) but I'm happy to throw money at the club so they can make hay while the sun shines especially considering the massive financial hit they've taken in the last two years. Most of the stuff I buy will probably be for the kids but when I next get to the Demon Shop I might buy one of the jumpers/tshirts/hoodies etc if they're in stock. Most annoying thing is the Demon Shop has sold out of a lot of kids sized stuff but the same things are available at the AFL Shop/MCG Shop - would rather go direct so the club gets the money but if I don't have a choice I'll have to go elsewhere. The kids really want the tshirt with the Mark Knight design but they don't have any smaller ones left. I did get them the drink bottle with the same design though, hopefully it comes before xmas.
