Lucifers Hero

@Demonstone, two weeks between games so is it time for another brain teaser? Special request: give us some advance notice of when it goes up so I can make sure I get to see it. TIA.

I thought that also. They have Carcella there, Ess premiership player and highly touted at Geelong and Richmond.

They are different. Login to your account on right hand side of the mfc website https://membership.melbournefc.com.au/?utm_source=mfc_website&utm_medium=navigation&utm_campaign=membership22 and you will see the 12 digit barcode number.

The 12 digit number in the email.

In 2018 for the Geelong game we could get 2 tickets per membership barcode. The story was they won't travel to the G/Marvel at night. Given they have chosen their QF to be Sat afternoon there may be some truth in that story.

All set, then?

Yes, you can. But I'm not sure if you can just select 8 tickets (and you receive all the digital tickets on your phone) or whether Ticketek will ask for their names and phone numbers and they get the sms with their individual digital ticket. So have their info ready just in case. Tip: Type all the info into a Word document, save it thenjust copy/paste the info into Ticketek as needed. It will save a lot of time. Ticketek allows only 10 minutes to compete the transaction right through to payment. It is worth while logging into Ticketek in advance and checking your details and cr card info are up to date.

Ok, I get what is happening. That is the email address the club used to send the emails as that is where our membership details are help. The ticketing info is in the body of the email. What do you see in the body of the email? Email sent by Melbourne Football Club

Thank you very much. The email has since come through.

My email doesn't mention either agency but when clicking on the ''GET YOUR TICKETS" button it takes me to the Ticketek website. I'm pretty sure Ticketek are the agency for the MCG.

Not so. All membership categories are equal for this final. First in best dressed.

I haven't 😟

We played the 2021, 17th team (Coll) twice for 2 Losses. Geelong played the 2021,18th team (North) twice for 2 Wins. We played the 2021, 11th team twice (Freo) for 1W and 1L. Geelong played the 2021 9th team twice (Eagles) for 2 Wins Not sure there is much different between the two given what was known when the draw was done late 2021 before preseasons had even started. So Geelong won 3 extra games of their equivalent 'soft draw' and gained a huge % from them. We had the same opportunity.

No-one can predict who will rise and fall from one year to the next hence why I compared to last year's finalists rather than this years. One thing that should change is that a top 4 team should not play a bottom 4 team twice which would eliminate the Geelong v North double up. But we played Coll twice who finished 17th but weren't able to take advantage of it...

Do the double ups really matter that much? There is the odd anomaly like Collingwood getting into the top 4 on a very easy draw on the back of finishing 17th last year. That could have been us in 2020 after finishing 17th in 2019, except that a covid riddled 2020 messed it for us when we just missed the eight. The cream still rises to the top. And we are second top.

I don't think the 'Ad' is needed but not sure. Hopefully the system is smart enough to know from the barcode whether it is an adult, concession or junior membership. By the way, while our membership details are held by Ticketmaster, the tickets for the MCG finals are sold by Ticketek: https://hotshow4.ticketek.com.au/shows/show.aspx?sh=AFLF22

Well played 👏

The Ticketek website says 10 per member which seems odd really high, especially as ticket sales to the general public don't open until 3.00pm tomorrow. It doesn't seem right that a member can buy 9 additional tickets for non-members. Confusing... The club is sending emails to members this afternoon so hopefully, it is all clear then.

I hope he surfaces in time to get onto Ticketek for his tickets...😐

I understand the sympathy toward Rutten. But his specialty is defence and we have an excellent defence coach in Chaplin. That isn't to say Rutten couldn't do Yze's job but I have my doubts. Yze is a lot more than a line (midfield) coach he also does a lot of the strategy, tactics and ball movement work. He virtually runs the show on match day from the box. There are a lot of reasons why Ess have been poor this year but I'm not sure Yze's role matches Rutten's strong suit.

True. I was hoping to give @Demongirl35 reasons to go to the game ie we are a much stronger team now than in round 12. I'll add a few more reasons on match ups: neither May or Buddy played last time but naturally May will take him. Now that you mention Petty, he was injured early in the rnd 12 game but played on so our defence was further weakened. There is a lot of synergy in our back 6 so with a fit Petty and May in we are much stronger. Ditto at the other end of the ground without M. Brown. There is a fair chance Hunt will go to Papley as he has done a great job on small fwds this year and has the speed to keep up with him. And they had Paddy Mc playing on Kozzie who drifted off and marked everything in sight as did all their defenders. I doubt that will be allowed again with Max down there now. Reckon Melksham would be good match up for Paddy.

Don't believe them! We are a better team now: Hibberd will not let Reid get away like Tomlinson did, we have May back (but they have Buddy back), we have a different fwd line without M. Brown. Our ball movement is different. And Sydney have won seven consecutive games. Can they continue? I have my doubts! Anyway, win lose or draw all dee fans should go.

Thanks. My barcodes were there🙂 If for some reason members can't access their ticketmaster account check emails this afternoon for barcodes.

Patience dear Layzie. They will be there for you tomorrow.

I'm too scared too look too far fwd so as not to jinx the team. One-week-at-a-time😐 But I reckon we can do it!
