Heard they're going to leave aisles 21 to 28 unreserved on level 3 at the Lockett end (away cheersqaud end) for members to just swipe their membership and sit up their.
Hope they dont end up with a similar situation to the Pies v Crows game on Friday night where the general admin sell outs but the area saved for the members is half empty.
Good idea by the club? I Reckon they'll get 40k to the game.

it could well be the biggest crowd freo have ever played in front of (which was 40,000 against the pies this year)
hopefully that will intimidate them, and we can get off to a good start and get the crowd involved :D

Was going to try this, but I'm not sure I trust it either. The stupid thing's gonna fill up in 10 minutes.
It's no doubt gonna be an intense game. As a Dockers fan, it's pleasing to see us looking strong as we draw closer to the end of the home n away season. I'm also happy to admit the strength of your club, and it is easy to see the level of aggression in your football. As the Dockers are one of the fitter sides, I'm hoping we can out-run you, and whatever our ball-skills don't do, our run will make up for. You guys will no doubt come at us with everything you have, clearly trying to secure your place in the finals.
Best of luck and get ready for some good football

The record is actually 45,436 in Rd 1 this year in Adelaide. Despite the pies game being the "Bob Rose" game, they only got 40,964 to it.
It will almost certainly be the Freo record crowd at Docklands and vs Essendon (both currently held by Rd 18 2000, 34,567)
It will probably make it 2 weeks in a row for 35k+ opposition fans against Freo as the following week is the Eagles home game derby.
Possibly 3 weeks in a row of crowd records, this week was the biggest ever non-derby home game crowd (35,518), Rd 21 could be the biggest ever Melbourne or away crowd, then Rd 22 could be the biggest ever derby crowd (41776)
All we then need is for all 3 to be wins and we can then (with some other games falling our way) finish 2nd and host our biggest ever home final!
CARN FREO!

i got late tickets for the game because i decided to go at the last minute. But they are level 3....hows the view from up there.
Btw i've never been to telstra dome. I always go MCG usually.
So are level 3 really **** seats?

Level 3 is good if you are near the front...but even towards the back it aint too bad...a lot better than the same spot at the G.
