Seems like it was pretty smooth today. Logged in 15 mins before 9am for MCC reserved seats. Had to wait something like 10mins after 9am to get in, but once in, there were still front row seats on level 2. I believe all MCC reserved seats are now taken.
Been looking forward to this game since the fixture came out. Only my second Geelong game for the year (saw them in Brissy) but boy it’s not looking great weather wise.
The players look so void of confidence. Getting in each other’s way is a sign they aren’t spreading and backing their team mates. The 7-0 start flattened us.
Personally I’ve been a big fan of the slot for many years. Never understood why it used to get a sub-par game. It’s a good slot to attend or watch at home. Preliminary Finals in the slot have been huge. I’m keen for Geelong to request more. Also, good for families when night games are too late.
I’ve got a ticket in the Gabba members but never been in there before. Do they have a standing room area like the MCC? Otherwise is there an area in the ground to sit with other Cats supporters?
The only reason I get a family membership these days is because the kids like to receive a physical membership card in the mail. Judging by the email I got, we’re only getting a welcome letter. The club really likes to make things hard these days. I don’t recall an option to ‘opt-in’ to a...
Does anyone know what the breakdown is for Geelong members based in Geelong versus Melbourne? I’m sure there would be a lot, even out here in the North-East there’s quite a few including myself.
I’m sick of this ‘crowd maximisation’ argument being compared to home ground advantage. In no other sport in the world is ‘crowd maximisation’ even a thing. Play the game in Geelong in front of 40k Geelong supporters and let Hawk supporters watch it on TV.
First time I’ve seen this - if your kids have a Geelong membership and you’re an MCC member, you can take them into the members for Geelong home games at no additional charge. This will save me having to “double dip” when I take them to MCG home games and have had to pay for them as MCC visitors...
I had to call the club after changing membership types - went from a single 3-game to family 3-game (so the kids get a membership each essentially for free). There was no provision to add the additional names during the online application and I hadn’t received a follow up email, so wasn’t sure...
I’ve watched some random vlogs on YouTube from people in the crowd. Most are terrible, but one particular Sydney supporter sitting in the pocket at the Punt Rd end, captured Geelong‘s first quarter goals really well. It was nice seeing those goals from a different perspective. Good on him for...
SEN was good for the “2 Cats supporters“ aspect, but even SEN was rather subdued once the game was won. Nothing like the last quarter in the 2009 GF when the KRock commentators were out and out barracking for Geelong. Lol.
I’ve got a copy of the GF with the seven different audio streams imbedded. Working my way through each of them. It’s unfortunate that Geelong were so dominant from an early part of the game, as all the calls are pretty flat after the first 10mins. Especially from neutral commentators.
I watched the entire game on a flight between Cairns and Melbourne on Wednesday, then again on Thursday at home on the big TV, given I’d been away for work since before the GF. Must have watched the Foxtel mini version 10+ times by now, and every YouTube clip imaginable. I can’t believe I’m...
How strict are they on GF day? I only got Full MCC this year. I’ve never been asked to show my MCC card since they went photo ID at any other game. Having said that, there‘s no way I was giving my MCC card to anyone, even a family member for the GF, in case they checked as I can’t make it.
Anyone else stuck working tomorrow? I’m overseas and have to work all day. I’m the only Geelong supporter here, and only a handful of the guys follow AFL. Thankfully, my boss is happy for me to put the game on one of our work screens. I’ve already told everyone don’t expect me to do anything...
I don’t know what’s worse. Wanting to go to the GF and can’t get a ticket, or like me having a guaranteed GF ticket and can’t go :'(.
Edit - I should have added I’m an MCC member. Sucks to have to work Saturday.
