Preview Changes for the Qualifying Final - Sydney on Friday night at the MCG

[Proper Gander]

I've had some unreal melts in there. Been dragged out of the place twice now

Must have been good ones. I've made a positive effort to lose it there twice. I'm not a member but get to go as a guest of my partner's brother for the Collingwood games - the fact we have been with a Collingwood supporter made it even worse. I staggered out of the Gray Smith Bar once and then fell down a set of stairs, full comedian style, in the stadium. And swore at everyone. Security just helped me up, asked me if I needed first aid and escorted me to my seat. Disappointed

Yeah last one was really good cops involved too hehehe

I think I missed out on being evicted because what with all the tumbling down stairs, I didn't spill the sauce on my pie

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Yeah last one was really good cops involved too hehehe

What were you melting over ? A dees loss? Or something else in particular?

 

[Bluelegs]

Assuming you were a guest? How many of your mates memberships have you burned?

 

[Toump Ass]

Jesus Christ sort your shit out Ticketek.

 

[Proper Gander]

Whoohoo tickets! All done and I’m ready for some serious shouting

 

[dee_mac]

Jesus Christ sort your s**t out Ticketek.

Why the **** would you do the on-sell for club members of both MCG games in the one timeframe? Had diester written all over it form the start.

 

[melbournemartin]

Try on your phone guys. I did the whole process on their whilst my laptop, which I loaded up first, was still spinning...

Don't stress guys. It won't sell out.

 

[Blackas87]

All my barcodes are coming up invalid.

 

[Scythe]

Flights and tickets booked.

Have gone from watching on a screen to the very front row in M50 lol

I was at one of the bars and some hired goons came up to me during the game asking me to show my id, and to nominate the person who let me in, not once but twice in the same game. The second time my boss who I was with was getting drinks so the goons just stood over me and waited for him to get back, it was a little humiliating having to sit there with two dickheads watching me sip a beer and my boss was like "yeah guys, this is a bit off" when he got back and of course once they checked our ID's they disappeared without accosting anyone else in the bar. My boss is a legend but obviously I didn't want to make a big deal of it or anything.

So anyway a few weeks later I'm at the MCC with a different crew, it's my round and I'm waiting in line at the nearest bar and I happen to be the only brown dude in the line and also happen to be the only guy who gets asked to show their ID even though I'm closer to 50 than 20 and I just ripped into the campaigner, called him everything else under the sun, poor guy had no idea it was coming lol either did I though to be honest, other people behind me in the line were like "what the **** is this loose campaigner on about" lollll.

Cops were really good about it all actually, but I shouldn't need them to intervene so I can buy a drink without feeling like I'm in South Africa in the 1950's.

FWIW I used to go to the MCC once or twice a year and from memory this is the only time I've had to prove who I was once I had already been allowed in, maybe it's a regular thing I don't really know. I prefer hanging with the nuffies anyway

Edit: first time I got booted out some dees supporter used a racist sledge for one of our indigenous boys, can't even remember who it was I was out of it hehehehe

Did you use the "Ad" at the start? I did not

 

[Toump Ass]

Also, tickets booked

Got a MCC visitor's pass.

Will try and not get my friend's MCC cancelled

Got to say I never pictured you as being black toump. Always pictured you more as a shortish Aussie bogan with a mullet.

Where are your parent/s from? South Africa? Or was that just a reference for the story?

 

[Blackas87]

Got the missus doing it, she reckoned she tried with it, without it. She finally got in and then timed out lol

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Dees v 'North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos' R2 W game moved to the MCG before QF, starts at 5pm.

My family are Hindus. I look exactly like the guitar player from Soundgarden did in the 90s. Like so much so that people have shown me photos of him and I thought it was me. My mother couldn't tell us apart. Maybe Kim's mother could, I don't know her.

Haha. You reminded me of the time I was blind drunk at the cricket at the top of the Southern Stand. I tumbled down like the boulder from Indiana Jones in what must of been at least twenty steps. Luckily no one was walking up or down them at the time because I could've killed them with the momentum I had. My hand was already in plaster & one guy yelled out once I got up "You trying to break your other hand mate?"

Will be almost zero North fans there given you need a ticket to the QF to get in and it's $35 minimum

Barcodes all worked in the end. Got tickets

True, I'll admit this is a bit rough on them...

Should have played it at Punt Road.
