Not sure if there's going to be a finals ticketing thread but for those buying tickets this morning, the Bulldogs' end is the M33 end. Good luck!

Re: How to beat the Hawks. - Finals edition

Thought we lost against Hawthorn at the Selection Table last time. Buku was exposed 1v1 against Sicily and Charlie Clarke wasn?t ready to contribute.

In terms of stopping the hawks it?s probably pretty simple.

1) Stifle their ball use off half back. Impy was clearly the most important player on the field last time we played them. Need to work away to curtail him. I?m thinking McNeil is probably the man in a defensive forward role. We also need to apply some serious pressure forward of centre and lock the ball in. We have had trouble doing this against the faster teams ie Adelaide.

2) Halve the ruck battle. From what I have seen of Meek his tap work is very very good. He get hit outs to advantage. Tim needs to be physical and prevent meek serving it on a platter to his mids.

3) Tackling technique has to be spot on forward of centre. They play for frees. We have to tackle low. This should be a focus at training. 3-4 goals in a final from free kicks will be the difference if we don?t.

4) Our big guys need to take advantage of forward entries. If there is one way to get the hawks it?s an undersized defence. Darcy, JUH and Naughton should be primed for big games.

I feel good about this game. We just need to stop their run.

I'm not willing to risk it but I bet if I drop out and go back I'd somehow be miles ahead in the queue.

I did that in another browser. Was 18,000th.

I suggest the numbers are inflated by the fact people sometimes have more than one browser going at a time.

My barcode is not working...

Re: How to beat the Hawks. - Finals edition

Why won't my barcode work!?

Re: How to beat the Hawks. - Finals edition

Use the barcode from the email.

I got mine lvl 1 olympic m55

It wasn't easy to get what I wanted, and ended up missing out on lvl 2 because i was trying to get better seats than what they gave me.

Now I recall how shit getting finals tickets is.

Call the club asap.
Bunch of people across the socials are reporting the barcodes that the club emailed out aren't working, so get in contact as soon as you can.
Also, tickettek is much better on a computer than the apps, the apps are completely screwed.

Re: How to beat the Hawks. - Finals edition

One of my barcodes didn't work, had to make do with what I could get. In M15, lost better seats while I was panicking, making phone calls trying to figure out what to do. What a shitshow.

Re: How to beat the Hawks. - Finals edition

I generally wait a few days to get my tickets as they give out the shit ones first and I generally get lvl 2 or 2a later on, but the fact it's been 8 years since a Bulldogs Melb final and I'm taking my 8yo to his first final has me in a state of confusion.

Lucky time is one my side with 10000+ people in front of me!
