Hey guys. Just down from Gosford (near Sydney) for the game tomorrow ... is there a pub near the MCG that people usually drink at before the game?

Cheers!

Hi Adz, glad you have made it down from Gosford. I am not sure where the demonland faithful have a few earlies but you can always try the Cricketers Arms on Punt Rd opposite the Tigers - Punt Road Oval. It is a small pub that gets very busy but has a great atmosphere

The London tavern usually gets a few drinkers in... Transport opposite Flinders St station isn't bad either, massive selection of beers. And it's only a 10 minute walk along the Yarra to the G...

I take the train in from Essendon and usually stop at Transport before the game. It's good and there is a huge selection but if you're staying in the city I agree that the Cricketers Arms is fun. Good crowd generally.

Or there is The Corner Hotel a bit further along Swan st in Richmond, has a big roof top beer garden although it might not be the best for tomo's weather.

Thanks for the replies :D

Cricketers Arms looks like a good little pub - looked it up on google maps ;)

Although... comments about the Royal have piqued my interest o_0

We should head out to transport first because that's where the march will be leaving from.

From there is anyone's guess, BULLRING!

Yea the Royal is not all it's cracked up to be, I recall one of the waitresses wandering around requesting tips for her "show" whilst smashing down a meat pie and chaffing on a dart. All class.

lol this sounds like a pub near my place where they have topless waitresses... they walk around and ask for $1 coins, which they then stack up on their nipples ;)

if the royal is only down from the cricketers (like it says on google maps) might pop in for at least 1 to see what the go is :D

off to sample the nightlife now!

wish me luck :D

The Royal is only about 80 metres from the Cricketers, and if you go to the Cric then check out the beer garden.

It may sound a bit lame but Fed Sq. and the walk is actually good. You will feel quite proud to be amongst so many Dees suporters.

Seriously go to the Transport bar. The Red n Blue Army will be in full force. Not to be missed.

Let's just say the entertainment is c+ at best :o

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.
