Hey Guys I was just wondering do we have a Pub where Dees fans go to watch interstate games? I have a couple of mates who support Richmond and they all gather at the Royal Oak In Richmond to watch games. It gets a bit feral but Its always a good atmosphere. Would be good If we had a similar thing?

    Thanks hotgod, seems like a few people could be interested. I wonder If contacting the club would be an option? Maybe they could drum up some support. It's just a case of getting the word out there, once It started catching on I think a few people would get involved. I have Foxtel but would much rather go somewhere with some atmosphere.

    We play Brissy Sat night, could be a good week to kick it off.

    The Bentleigh club in Bentleigh is officiated with the Demons, and iv'e been there a couple of times this year and there is a great atmosphere, great amount of supporters and a a few great screens to watch the game on.

    I was at the bentleigh club for the last few fox games. I was the tall slender one standing alone in the corner quietly observing the talent. You'ld recognise me if you think back, I was dressed in the lamp shade gear. Good warm venue, the beer looked good & the savouries smelt appertising.

    I may get dressed up next week. B)

    I just wish that, when we play interstate, we were on free to air. None of our interstate matches are on Ten/Seven this year, and we play 5 of them.

    I think the club would prefer we support their two venues Bentleigh and Oakleigh.At Oakleigh the atmosphere is good even though probably only a small crowd go and the savouries (free) at half time go down well with everyone. If anyone wants to go to watch andbe with like go to Oakleigh and support the Club.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
