Ticketek making friends with the ticketing process as always.

My biggest gripe is, as a Platinum Member, I'm guaranteed a ticket. I have a reserved seat all year and I appreciate the AFL take over finals ticketing from the clubs, but why can't I just sit in my normal seat and why must I go through the process to get that seat?

Surely an email to members, do you want your seat? Yes. It's this $$ much. Click pay now. Done.

The system is what it is, but surely it could be vastly improved.

Yeah, was slow for me as well this morning, but I got through at 10:22 so not terrible I guess.

The thing that annoys me is my ticket category costs me $28.00 to go to Melbourne vs Carlton game, but $103 to attend at Adelaide Oval.
Not sure why we get screwed so much more.

GWS $2.35. Take that to the bank.

Feel like we always hype the winners of week 1 up compared to the losers in the second chance matches like Port on the weekend.

Over the last 10 years only on 3 occasions has the top 4 all made it to the Prelims which surprised me to be honest so perhaps the momentum can be helpful? Interested to see how this pans out this weekend with both matches.

Neither Brent Daniels or Toby Befdord played in the Round 22 match who seem to be barometers to the way GWS play. Be a big ask for them to turn around the 51 point deficit however. Port go in just favourties for me.

As noted below, Bedford and Daniels come in and they are super important.

We had Rioli, Marshall, JHF and Bergman all kick 3 that day, Bergman is back, JHF looks like a second year player at the end of the year and Rioli and Marshall are spluttering, GWS still put 85 points in the board.

I'd love to be confident but I've watched their last three games and the way they push forward will overwhelm our disjointed defense then I'm not sure how we score +/- 100 points at the other end to beat them with Marshall and Finlayson looking flat.

Marshall in doubt this week?

Does Jonas come back in? Most Port people believe he isn't actually injured.

Why would they fake an injury?

TJ is done and won’t play again.

Have grave fears for Big Scoot Saturday night as I think their ruck is a gun and will be the next star ruckman for the next 5 years. Watching Scooter live Saturday night he is ro#ted. Can’t jump and can’t run.

Getting tickets today sucked co#k.

I thought Lycett was ok in the 1st half.
He was jumping in the ruck and into contests around the ground.
He must have filled his boots with concrete at half time coz he came out and could barely run let alone jump.
His 2nd half was terrible.

Go blues

Port seem to me to be the most vulnerable of the remaining 6.

McKay is a big out given Melbournes defensive structure. Martin misses through stupidity.

Silvagni will be in. Not sure about Martins replacement.

Port being written off by every media outlet going.

We did a lot right in Brisbane, as I’ve said before Brisbane up there is probably the toughest road trip in footy.

I strongly believe we get it done against the Giants at home.

Port by 23 points.

Kennedy I'd think.

McKay isn't a big out, unless you're talking pure size. He's an impediment currently.
