Eagles played an almost Geelong type game style for large periods of the game. Strange

Some of us have realised this for years. TBH if Casey were 25kms closer to the CBD it would definitely be the place. I am sure Collingwood is looking closely at a move. The problem is that these days there's not much space even in that 25km ring. Mind you there's a lot more than in Yarra Park

Thought I'd get a ticket for Sunday. AFL member guess what... offered the same and opnly section that I was offered on Tuesday Level 1 open last bay near the Ponsford stand

It was Docklands with a 100% capacity of just on 50k so 75% = around 38k of which Medallion club takes out a fair amount. I suspect a practical sell out would be around 35k It's a big issue for us next week if we can't get the Tiger supporters along as they are the paying supporters.

Interesting that the VFL fixture has been based on the AFL aligned teams playing on the same day as the AFL team play. Assume it was requested by the clubs to provide synch between the levels but given they play at different venues it is another knock on the VFL comp crowdwise.

Saints 2020 was our 2018 but worse Other than King they don't seem to have much coming through Could be nasty if they do a North

?

Thinking of heading with my chair along so any details would be welcome. I assume MFC membership gets me free admission as in earlier years. If KC can give us the player numbers and possibly the team when available that would be great. Box Hill was the site of the Weid's big VFL breakout game so let's hope he can repeat it.

TV probably one game into Sydney... one into Melbourne Interest in the Sydney game outside Sydney would be very low

In theory it's an easy tipping round as other than Crows v Freo there is a firm favourite in each match. Sure to be a few upsets though Richmond Eagles Bulldogs Swans (hoping for a GWS win though) Port Brisbane Freo Cats and of course US

my guess is no as they want to maintain control of which parts of the ground are opened. As MFC crowds are in the main around 30-40k I foresee a lot of closed levels for the year. Hope I'm wrong

correct the end to end goal is one of the best risk/reward transitions in the game. We have the perfect team with our talls and Pickett to take advantage of the process.

the new system isn't rocket science and is being trialed for a couple of games this weekend. All it is that if you buy five tickets you have to put in contact details for all five and not just yourself as the buyer

surprises me as our kick outs have definitely improved this season. Scope for improvement as with several other areas... a good thing

seriously... a crowd of around 35k and they offer you that seat

forgive my medical ignorance but although the eye socket will repair itself in 3-4 weeks does that mean it is ready for physical contact sport. The AFL rules forbid many medical guards on the basis that they pose injury risks to other players

according to the CHO its not about spacing but more about zones and stopping cross overs between zones. He was quoted today as saying they were not too sure how they could move to 100% and still maintain space between zones. Stupid I know as with both last weeks game and this one everyone could have easily spread out and a lovely time would have been had by all.

great news

and it allows them to close off more of the ground thus reducing staff and cleaning costs. The issue will be who pays them or the ticket company or will we all get the dreaded $5 admin fee

AFL ticket allocation exhausted for all areas except one bay on level 1. This really is a joke

Remember It was this game that started the... Is Goodwin the Right Guy thread (and rightly so ) An important one Dees by 32

one small plus is that it should not limit his running and other fitness work. Perhaps a phantom like mask and he can even join in light contact training in a week or so.

6. Viney 5. Lever 4.Fritsch 3.Langdon 2. Petracca 1. Oliver Spargo would have got 3 votes if he had kicked 2 goals Apolgies to Gawn and a few other players.... very good team effort

Petty has not played full back. He's either CHF or CHB. If Tomlinson plays FB then you have to ask who provides the better balance Hibberd or Petty. Petty offers the more upside longer term but it's not simple by any means.
