Bleasey as that

Hi AD, In the past, 1 member would only be allowed to buy 1 ticket. However this year, it appears 1 member can buy up to 10 tickets. I would log in to Ticketek at 10AM with your membership barcodes and see how you go. If not, you will have to wait til General Public tickets go on sale…..

I posted the pic above but all details are on Ticketek website…… (not Ticketmaster haha don’t get confused at 10AM tomorrow!)

In previous years, I remember there being a 3 tiered priority access system for Melbourne members. Something along the lines of: Priority 1 - Premium Memberships and those with GF Guarantee Priority 2 - 11 Game Memberships Priority 3 - 3 Game and Interstate Memberships I believe ticket sales were staggered accordingly. Does anyone know if this will happen again this year i.e in a Semi Final or Prelim? Thanks

Not many options available, I assume this due to the fact that Richmond have 100k members. I ended up in M8, row W as everything else was allocation exhausted at 10:04AM. I would suggest anyone planning on rocking up on the night to get in now and secure themelves a seat....

AVB the only noticeable absentee today....

Boys out on the track - minus the Casey group who will be training tonight. Hunt, J.Smith & JKH all with the main group this morning.

G’day folks, Any times listed for training? Cheers.

Final teams? And do we know who are the travelling emergencies to Perth? Cheers

I think you’ve misinterpreted my comments about Balic being a chance for a game towards the end of the year. I definitely don’t think he’ll be gifted a game “just to give him a taste” and I definitely don’t think he is a “next season rookie” - whatever that actually means! From what I saw today, I think that if he continues to develop and play the way goody likes his players to play, he will be a chance to force his way into the team based on form and talent. He is a strong bodied half forward/mid and if his form keeps trending in the right direction, he’ll challenge ANB/Harmes for a similar spot in the team. He has missed a lot of footy over the last two years so we’ll keep an eye on him as I said after watching him today he has plenty of upside. Go Dees!

Here’s my take on the Melbourne listed players. 3 Votes – Pederson: Was the dominant player on the ground. Kicked 6.1 and took at least 8 big contested marks. He looked unstoppable. And boy did the frankston locals give it to him! 2 Votes – Bugg: After a quiet first half managed to work his way into the game and finish up with 6 goals. Got on the end of a cheap one or two but also dished off a couple to teammates which he could have easily kicked himself. 1 Vote – Baker: Found plenty of ball and has some aggressive run & carry. Kicked a nice goal too in the last quarter to seal off a good game. Seems like a handy prospect. … Wagner: found enough of it but disposal still lets him down. Set up some nice set plays but also had a couple of poor turnovers by foot. Hunt: Similar to Wagner, gave us some good drive off half back but had a couple of bad turnovers that these blokes shouldn’t make against opposition like this. Although probably first in line for a call up out of all of the defenders today. Frost: Took some good strong marks but again the knock on him was some poor skill errors. Wont be forcing his way back in the team on todays performance. Smith: Ball wasn’t deep in defence much but he took a couple of strong marks and made the most of his opportunities. Petty: Took a couple of nice marks and looks like an impressive prospect in defence. Quite a big lad for a kid. Garlett: Very ordinary from Jeffy. Kicked a junk time goal in the last but found no where near enough of the ball. When he did he looked quick and a cut above but these moments were rare. Stretch: Didn’t do a great deal either which was disappointing. JKH: Just going through the motions. Seems a long way off all those 30+ possession VFL games that he had last year. Don’t think we’ll see him in the red & blue again. Balic: A lot to like here. Wasn’t dominant but made the most of his opportunities. Was strong around the ball and he has clean skills. Also took a couple of nice marks. Will be interesting to watch his progress over the next half of the season. Could be a chance for a game towards the end of the year. Keilty: Couple of nice contested marks but unfortunately didn’t finish the game due to concusion. Filipovic: Actually didn’t mind the work of the young ruckman. Gets into some good spots and contested well in the air. A good game Johnstone: As mentioned before, a last ditch effort to reinvent him as a small defender but unfortunately he doesn’t look like he’ll make it. Pretty quiet from him again today.

Yes, been pretty quiet to half time.
