Level 2 directly behind goals. Ripping view.

I can talk from a similar perspective as I have kids the same age as you have, who are used to a shite ground. In our case AAMI, in your case Subiaco.

At AAMI the majority of the seats go back and aren't elevated. If anyone sits in front of us we need to continually move (quite easy at Port games :grin: ) to find spots that have a clear view.

Compared to that hole there are no bad seats at the MCG! :thumbsup:

Not sure when you are getting there, but if you get a chance on the Friday I can recommend the MCG tours/museum which run every 20 minutes from 10am to 3pm, and much as the place gets slammed around here also the Etihad tour which are at 11am, and 1pm only on event days.

You'll have a blast regardless, but hope your weekend works out better footy wise than ours. Got to watch the Blues get touched up Friday night against Nth, and then had the pleasure of watching Collingwood win on the Saturday. :sad:


Cheers to you and doof doof. Appreciate the info :thumbsup:

Hoping to get to visy park on fri morning to watch the boys train and do the mcg tour in the afternoon.

I'm desperately hoping we can eek out another win though realistically I know that will be unlikely. Here's hoping though.

I'm an employee at the MCG. Have been working there for the last couple of years as an attendant. N33 is located on level 2 of the Ponsford Stand. Usually reserved for Collingwood Social Club memebers during their home games. For all other matches they are reserved for Ticketek purchases which means you will get a mixture of Carlton and Richmond supporters. The level below will be predominately Richmond supporters as it is their away game. As for viewing Level 2 anywhere at the MCG is awsome.

Enjoy the game.

Why would you not give Kreuzer another week off and just play Warnock? Weird.

..why would Krooz or Knockers' selections be based on one or another's fitness.. ..unless they're competing for the same spot..??!!..

They would be competing for the same spot. Levi looks like a lock to nail down FF and do some spot minutes in the ruck.

One ruck with a pinch hitter KPF. What a novel idea. This is progress, this is good.

..you're missing the point.. ..Krooz isn't right, so much seems to be resting on him, when he's struggling to get hgis body right and Knockers is fresh to go.. ..they shouldn't be competing for the same spot, 1st ruck should now be Knocker's.. ..secret training and testing sessions for Krooz isn't right.. ..if he "gets up" for the game, he won't be able to play 1st ruck.. ..too much of a workload if he's in such an 'iffy' position fitness wise.. ..it's not like Knockers is also unfit, he's ready to go..

Have to agree. The whole thing is very weird.

Yeah well ... we've been questioning Ratten and the MC selection process of injured players all year.

They are effectively grinding our best prospect's knees to dust (Kruezer) just so we can finish 12th and they don't seem too phased by it!

Really prefer Kreuzer to be put in the spelling paddock - I cringe watching him toiling away

Well you can't blame him.

CFC, Ratten and the MC, as well as Carrots and Judd at different times on tv have all denied Kreuzer is injured or hampered by injury.

Not sure what purpose it serves to play a guy who's crook, or to lie about him being fine when he is in fact crook.

If Ratten is running Kreuzer into the ground wouldn't that mean that our medical staff is either toothless or completely incompetent? That would be a pretty big problem which the removal of Ratten won't change but no one seems to mention it. Also why would the higher ups allow him to run an asset into the ground for no real gain?

Who knows?

But the club likes to keep supporters in the dark about most things, so we're left to make slightly educated guesses about what we're seeing. You can't blame people for jumping to conclusions and forming their own theories about why Krueze looks like a 45 year old arthritic man half the time... when the club creates a vacuum, we'll fill it.

I suspect we have a few players who will not play again this season but the club doesn't want to broadcast that we've thrown in the towel for the year cos it will look like tanking. We will only dribble this out gradually over the remaining weeks.
It would look bad if we say the 6 players are all going in for surgery now so for some of them it will be '50/50 decision' to play them each week but really no chance.
Every week or fortnight, we will hear of another player going under the knife, eg. Henderson.
Also, if a player is under any sort of cloud, we will leave them out and rather play a young'n...

It would look bad but it would also lop dollars off our bottom line.
We still have 4 home games and want to maximize our return for the rest of this year.

Kreuzer should really not be playing from what I understand.

Just maybe.....

Ever thought of trusting what the players, MC and club say??
