or can you stand anywhere.

You will be assigned a bay to stand in.

It tells you where to stand, but we weren't checked last week, so go where you want I guess.

But if you don't like your bay you can just move to another, it is not policed at all. We were in M12 and we got there at 11:30 and were just one row from the fence so perfect view.

Stand wherever you like.
But don't stand in front of Nick Riewoldt he wants to take that mark.
Oh and don't stand in front of Justin Koschitzke unless you have full hospital insurance.

Don't think I did, I was right next to the fence on the RHS but didn't turn round much as I had some filth d******d right behind me.

Were you near the bloke with the amazing voice?

When you're standing though you can't see the footy after it's kicked in the air due to the level above, yes?

That would annoy the scheisse out of me but I would sit in a little corner of the MCG with a little tv if it meant being there just so I could hear that final siren and then, "St Kilda Captain, number twelve, Nick Riewollllldt" as he goes up to collect our cup.

Actually that is only really an issue on really high balls (you can see three quarters of the way up the goal posts) and there were TV's everywhere so it was really not a problem. Actually, having the TV's made it much easier to follow what was going on at the other side of the field. Will miss that this week.

Haha that bloke was terrific, I was maybe 3 meters to the left of him as he was looking towards the ground.

LOL. My son spent a lot of the day on Saturday doing the announcer voice ...Craig Willis has such a distinctive voice, and quite often goes very low in the first or second name. We were going through them imagining what it would sound like.
Number 7 - Lenny Haaaaaayes
Number 10 - Steven Baaaker
Number 12 - Nick Rieeeewoldt
Number 18 - Brendon Godddddard
My son was rattling them all off. Was breaking up the tension before the game anyway.
Can't wait to hear it Saturday night.

And again at Fed SQ
and again at Moorabbin on Sunday :wink: :wink:

Hahaha he has the best voice. Tennis player Kim Clijsters said last year that she knows she's in Australia when she walks out on court to the sound of Craig Willis.

Every now and then when he's chipper and feeling confident, he'll go low on both names...

"Number eleven... *low voice* Leeeeeeeiiigh Montagnaaaaaaa" :)

Oh, so the players willl stilll be presented to the crowd at AAMI Park after the game. I'm going to the game, but was planning on going to the FED SQ presentation thing last week if we had of won. I was just assuming it would be the same this week. Bad move.

Hahah I've got a smile on my face just thinking about it. :)

Willis would be going over the teams as we speak practicing the names and Zac Dawson's would be getting him excited for sure.

With "Dawson" he could add his slightly evil scary tone "DAWWWWWSOOOOOOONNN"

He would definitely go LOWEST and SLOWEST for Lenny Hayes though - Lenny HAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYESSSSSSSS!

So low and slow that he would stop for a minute while he sipped a water and regained his breath. :lol:

Haha I don't mind a bit of Lionel as it happens. :oops: :D

I'm in N1 but I'm going with a mate of mine who's down from overseas and will be standing so I'm going to try and watch a quarter or so with him depending on how the game unfolds.

I don't think I would mind standing room so much if it'd allow me to pace back and forth with my head buried in my hands for the entire four quarters. :)

If I happen to overhear a boy and his mum imitating Craig Willis, I'll make sure I say hello. :P

Just a question, are there any standing room areas on any of the upper levels?

Basically no. There is a very small area in both the Olympic and Ponsford stands on the top level, but you can't see all of the ground from there.

Alot of people stand below the scoreboard in the Olympic stand, but you'd have to be there early.
