Supporter Groups for Interstate Matches

Featured Replies

Posted

I'd like to set up a thread so we can post where we'll be watching interstate matches, or for interstate fans to let people know where they'll be watching matches.

I think it'd be good to have groups of fans getting together to watch the interstate matches, a good way of meeting people and following the boys with a few likeminded fans.

I know the club does this at Bentleigh/Leighoak, so that's one venue.

A group of fans, the mini-ox squad, usually go to the St Kilda Bowls club.

Myself and a few other guys will be watching at the Recreational Hotel (a pub/restaurant) on Queen's Parade which serves some pretty good food too.

I think this is a great suggestion. I am Treasurer of the Canberra Demons, and I hope we could use this thread to post advance notice of any after game functions for those travelling interstate as well.

I also believe Brisbanites venture to the Pineapple to watch the games as well, though this may need confirmation.

I'd love if we could set up designated places where fans could watch.

Another great spot for sport is the Charles Dickens Tavern on Collins St.

Indeed, this is now where I'll be watching the game tomorrow.

If anyone else have places they watch the games at, feel free to add the details in this thread so we can watch our boys play in numbers

Queenslanders have this annoying habit of not wanting to attend these sort of things very often. I have tried numerous times to set up days like this and get perhaps 4 or 5 if I am lucky!! Am currently working on a plan to get "game day hosts" throughout Qld. Working like this.. find a hotel that has foxtel/austar and let me know. I will put it up on the website which is about to launch in the next week and then people can contact this person. So we need volunteers willing to be at the venue most weeks if not all, and that will be willing to field calls from supporters in the area.

Not sure if it will work but if any queenslanders know of a pub ( and yes the Pineapple does play games) and would like to be part of the new plan, then please PM me and we can work something out.

Doesnt matter where in Qld - it just needs a "leader" and paytv as thats where we seem to be featured 95% or more of the season.

good work demondeb keep persisting. I would imagine it would be great to sit amongst fellow supporters and cheer on the team together and enjoy a meal etc. I am fortunate enough to see it on foxtel for interstate matches. But when i get the chance i will enjoy this alternative. even with the family.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
