Prelim Final prelude thread. Tigers v Salties

[Ice]

Stand to be corrected but I think after the pies we have the 2nd highest amount of AFL members. .. which will ensure if us and them make it to the GF..... the biggest **** fight over ticketing ever before witnessed

 

[JR8]

From 2017 Qualifying final:

Geelong:

Out: Duncan, S Selwood, Smith, Motlop, Mackie, Hawkins, Z Guthrie, Henderson, Lonergan, Murdoch, Parsons
In: Kelly, Rohan?, Stanley, Ablett, Atkins, Ratogulea, Miers, O'Connor, Henry, Dalhaus, Narkle

A lot of changes


Richmond:

Out: Grigg, Butler, Kmac, Towner
In: Soldo, Bolton, Baker, Lynch

Shouldnt Rance be included in those outs?

 

[Ice]

Shouldnt Rance be included in those outs?

yes, fixed it now

 

[spook]

I assume that is member ticket sales.
AFL and MCC take up 40,000. A lot of neutrals in these areas and neither Rich or Geelong have big representations like Melbourne, Geelong or Essendon. I am thinking 15,000 richmond, 10,000 geelong, 15,000 neutral.
Probably another 10,000 neutral corporates.
So of the remaining 45,000, if 4: 1 then 36,000 richmond, 9,000 geelong.

So overall:

Richmond 51,000
Neutral 25,000
Geelong 24,000

Richmond has massive MCC representation.

Richmond has massive MCC representation.

probably - I am a mcc member and the only games I find it tough to get a good seat are versus Essendon and Melbourne

Found this for mcc 2018:

Melbourne 22,932
Essendon 17,792
Collingwood 15,947
Carlton 12,784
Richmond 11,729
Hawthorn 11,070
Geelong 10,939
St.Kilda 7,248
North Melbourne 4,217
Western Bulldogs 3,294
Sydney 3,163
Brisbane 3,163
Other teams 1,845

Didn't realise the pies had that many. .... looking at their 2nd column certainly reinforces the stereotypical view many have of the membership.
Might have to jostle for position IF we were lucky enough to make it V the giants!

 

[Mr Brightside]

Just read there’s less then 1000 tickets left

You might find it difficult, those 13 AFL Members linked to GWS could fill the place.

Just rock up on the day
Usually a couple of tickets still on sale

 

[tigerlove]

the way the forecasts are trending ,

They seem to be pushing it back later and later as we get closer,

Earlier in the week around game time it was 66 percent, it went to 45 , now it’s in the 20s, I’m guessing if we get any rain, it won’t be much at all

Now changed to virtually no rain overnight, pushed back to Saturday morning now. Looking like a warm partly cloudy day top of 24 and evening down to only 21.

Cheers, that's interesting. The only times I've ever felt outnumbered in the MCC has been against Melbourne.

Some of us do both.

Come on Huey, push the rain back to late Saturday arvo then send her down by the truckload.

Any tigers flying in from East suburbs of Brisbane?

stay right away from Punt Road.

Actually, go and hang around the coffee van outside the Holden Centre.

maybe shove a handful of the icy pole stick stirrers down the back of your undies and

discreetly put them back in the holder

Yep. I am a AFL member and Maurice Rioli member.

maybe Gill allocates them a super box.

that means 99,021 inside doesn't it?

Will tv viewers be inflicted with special comments from a New York cafe owner again? What happened to the H&A special commentators? And why an ex player with no winning finals experience?

I thought Watson was well spoken and gave a better insight than most of the typical dribble. It was refreshing to hear a new voice and it made my wonder why he hadn't been involved in commentary earlier.
