I've done it. Said I'd accept any ticket including standing room nut had a thought they'll shove me there first.  My preference is a good ticket and I'll pay for it.  I'll accept standing room but id rather not.

What are you guys doing?
Same and I have two kids with me too so not keen on standing room at all, Altho one kid is taller than me so that would be ok but the other is a little girl.

But I figure if we’re there somewhere then it’s a bloody good day and we’ll take what we get!!

I did think elderly or people with mobility issues, how is that fair on them too?!

We had mostly decided flights were too expensive so weren’t going to go, but I tried today anyway just to see.  Spent 30mins on the wrong ticket seller 😆 and only realised when I got through to buy Collingwood/GWS tickets 🙄

So got onto Ticketmaster at 10.30 and got tickets immediately - did best price and came back with $650 for 4. So tried again with cheaper tickets 5 mins later and again got a shot at it for $315!

But with flights being $3k return just not doable unfortunately this year as we have an OS trip booked for next year we’re already paying off.

Was surprised that I had access for tickets still at 10.40, had assumed it’d sell out.

Enjoy Thryleon, I really hope we get to play in the final game of the year 🤞🏼

We need H in if he’s okay to play. He maybe missed some goals but he is so important to the structure - I think people forget he did some great things other than kick goals. And he frees up Charlie.

My head says we are the walking wounded and our season is about done BUT I didn’t realise sitting at the MCG watching that first quarter against GC that from the second quarter on, we would be a completely changed team that would not stop. But it happened.

Also free game for us, nothing to lose - expecting to see no nerves this time around which hopefully means that we hit our kicks spot on and take our opportunities early.

first time post - walked this path many times over the years (first Blues memory 68 grand final)
as much as it sounds painful - there is an old saying a half fit so and so is better than a fully fit so and so.
l have seen this happen many times with all AFL clubs only to pay the consequences.
there are some banged up boys right now who will be going into next week game not fully fit - anyone had a broken nose or a dislocated shoulder (l can see Zorko lining up Patty Cripps nose) l don't think a jab will rectify .
should the board go completely left field and rest them and play a fully fit team -  or run the risk of a 60 point lose next week.
l don't know.
I think a Cripps with a broken nose and a mattress around his ribs, an Acres with half a collarbone, a Doc with a popping out shoulder etc etc is more than what we have to come in.  You cannot take those 3 out for those reasons, maybe Acres as he was holding his arm up and it is obvs paining him immensely, but you’re taking out one of our very best who has played with the condition - Under extreme heat, and done magnificently. I would say absolutely not.

Cripps said post match he copped quite a few hits last night - of course he says it as all part of the game. What a warrior seriously, and as someone said previously the happiness is written all over his face and I bloody love it for him!

Did caro ever retract her ‘Cripps and doch don’t like their teammates and stay at different hotels
From the team’ comment??!!

Hollands was around it so much in the last, perfect choice for our sub.

Did cunners get subbed out for injury? Or form??

I was critical they didn’t start Hollands but my son said he’d have been annihilated by the Melb big boys, it was just so fantastic to see him fresh and with run in the last - I just really rate him, he’s smart and backs himself!

Another that just has my full respect is Saad, it’s so rare he stuffs it up and his kicks are usually razor perfect 👌🏼

How good was Crippas interview after the game, he was bloody ecstatic!!!

Unbelievable!

Unbelievable!

Ollie H important in that last quarter - looked as fresh as a daisy!

The absolute scenes at the ground is something I will remember for ever!!! Screaming jumping high fiving just unbelievable they didn’t stop. I was resigned to losing and was ok with it as I could see they were running out of puff but tadaaaaaa not quite yet

I got my ticket today as a guest pass and I'm a full AFL Gold member for the last 28 years.
I got on at 12:20 and no seats in the AFL members stand. i was lucky to get that seat as it was.
tried every level and none found. I was livid cost me $83 instead of $22.

I shudder to think what might happen if we make the GF.  O:-)  O:-)  O:-)
Wow okay, so my tickets and getting through 8 minutes after it opened to members, are quite good.

Melb member got tickets up further than us, also family pass. Would love to know how the areas are sold and what is open to who according to membership as surely long standing AFL member is more than Carltonian member home games only 🤷🏻‍♀️

Up top again 🙄 it must have something to do with the family pass. I got through by 10.08 and cancelled two lots of tickets and finally took the third - up on Q32 row c.  It’s okay but I tried with just my partners barcode later (as he can’t come) and it gave me level 1 too.  Friday night we were up top too and I did feel there was many many kids and families so maybe it’s intentional to put kids up there? Who knows. Doesn’t matter, we’re going 💪🏼
