Unbelievable. There is also currently an with the afl website on pc recognising live pass subscription. So can't currently watch replays as I did last year. I read something from Telstra that it should be sorted by start of season. Bollocks. Just broke my 7 inch and replaced it with a 10 incch. Largely to watch football

we're bedding down a new game plan....

Excellent. And if we win, by say a goal, i'll say we would have won by 7 goals if Wattsy had played (and 10 if the umpires had not given the doggies an armchair ride)

Not if you take my approach.....

#they'reonlypracticematcheswhenwelose

Agree. However if we should win all 3 then it is is sure sign we are finals bound......

Interseting also in terms of drunkns guess that we plan to select clise to our best lineup, meaning few young playwrs will get a guernsey

God, imagine the handling fee Ticketmaster would charge to put a man on the moon - who incidentally wouldn't get there. The AFL would frequently change protocols, miscommunicate key messages and look to manage the outcome and also fail to get the man to the moon

Indeed. And they have the cheek to charge you a handling fee for a fully automated system (and even though the ticket gets emailed to you)

Alternatively you should now have two tickets. Wait until it sells out and sell one for 27.95 and get in for free! (or drag along a potential dees supporter!). or take it with you and sell it to someone who is a walk up

Not your fault at all. Incredibly stupid process - i mean of course you indicate you want an adult ticket! If you can bothered you should ask for a refund of the $20 they stung you. They can put a man on the moon but.....

I think you have paid too much.I just bought mine (after multiple error messages - it took about 45 mins to complete!) and i was correct before. You don't click on any of the ticket options just put your barcarole in from your members card and click thorough to payment section. 7.95 in total. Initially i clicked on adult ticket, which seemed logical but baulked at the cost. Thanks DeeSpencer. Saved me $20

Thanks. I assumed that was the issue but went back a few times and tried again but to no avail. Perhaps you don't need to click on the one adult box? I'll try again

You are probably right but jeez it is a slug. Just went on to buy a GA and the total cost was 27.85 (20 for ticket, 5 for member ticket whatever that is and 2.95 handling - which drives me nuts - handling?). I'll probably buy it in the end but it's a fair wack for standing at a glorified practice match

That's annoying, given the ticket is for GA not a reserved seat. A bit cheeky really. Last year at Cranbourne the same ticket was $5 IIRC I guess the questions is will there be a sell out, which would mean 10, 000 people there - a bigger crows that go to most NRL and A league games

But are you a member? I assumed members qould get free GA tix

Last afl game i went to was in 1987.....

Are you a member? If so how much did you have to pay fr the ticket (i went to buy my ticket but realised i didn't have my member's card on me)

Oh one ore thing. Stretch looked very professional and like others is super fit

I went last week. A couple of random football related observations: Agree with comments we were a bit sloppy with our disposals, particularly kicking and not jut in the match practice bit. But it doesn't worry me. It is a practice match after all. No big deal.Even two of our best kicks in Salem and Lewis missed some easy targets. Conversely O mac nailed a beautiful clearing kick to a target when kicking across the ground so not all doom and gloom Melksham looked very solid and a real pro. Good depth and power on his kicks. Reads the play very well. A lock for round one. I didn't notice Hibberd much but he is a very sold unit and also has fantastic depth on his kicking. I can see him being a real weapon getting the ball into our forward line with long, powerful kicks Trac should stick to long booming kicks and ditch his little 20 metre chips that seem to miss their target every time Brawshaw looked fantastic and i am super excited he is likely to be key member of the side. Easy to forget how good he was in the foirts half of the 2015 season. A very smart player and a good reader of the ball Oliver looked in great nick. He is a tough bugger. Got smashed at one point and got straight up Viney is a bull. Seems to have only one speed. Some of the Casey kids must have had kittens when he came storming at them Hogan looks super fit as does Pederson My standout? Salem. if he stays fit he will be like a new top shelf recruit. He is so clean and has brilliant awareness of where his team mates are. Salem also has a skill that frustratingly so few players have - weighting his kicks to team mates advantage. He kicked a lovely 50 metre kick to Weeds over the back of the contest which set up a gimme goal. After training had finished Salem did some extra work with a coach kicking balls at him from very close and catching them in the left, then right hand. Good on both sides but amazing on the left. The ball was going at speed and the ball looked as if it was going into a baseball mit. Looks super fit as well. Played out of the centre for most of the game. A couple of other random observations: It was great to be able to go after work, have a couple of quiet ones and watch the boys train. I wonder of it is something they could do 2 or 3 times over summer (ie a 4:30 start). It wouldn't have to be at Olympic park. Goschs's would be fine Incredible to see how many support staff there are these days. I remember watching the dees train at the G under barass and it is no exaggeration to say there was only two or three people out there (other than the players) and one was retrieving balls for the stands (though not the one i managed to snaffle). Must be expensive to to run a footy club these days On a related note the Merch tent was in a stupid spot, assuming of course they actually wanted to sell merch (which given the location of the Demon store is no sure thing) not just provide shade for MFC employee being paid to do nothing. Are work experience kids in charge of the marketing department? No wait - kids these days would be much more savvy Stafford is very tall

Nice hat. I notice red hair runs in the family. On hats i was amazed they chose to set the merch tent up on the opposite side to where all the fans were and were always going to be given the heat. Marketing 101 I was going to buy a hat and thought bugger it.

Seems like a nice kid. By the by Drunkn i went to the sessions today and on leaving at the end saw some people around dec, Do you have a nice new dees hat?

To take advantage of the facilities. There is a bar. it is a proper footy ground and much better for a crowd

Great. I'm there. I have put an appointment in my work calender. Great ground to watch footy actually though not down at fence level as there is a fair old rise in the centre of the ground
