Big Screen at Bentleigh Club

Featured Replies

Posted

Enjoyed a great night at the Bentleigh Club last Saturday night watching the big win.The meal before was great value in pleasant surroundings. Didn't know we had so many ferrel Dee's fans. It was great fun particularly yelling at the umpires who thoroughly deserved it once again. ..... as if the umps could hear us. I thought the TV was lucky to make it through the night. The despondancy four minutes to go was thick and painful but on the siren we certainly sang the song with incredible gusto.. probably better than the players ... despite being as exhausted as they were. I reckon the club could get us a better TV, nevertheless it was my first time there and will certainly do it again.

Ventured to the Leighoak myself and enjoyed dinner and the game amongst a good crew of Demons supporters.Staff there weren't expecting the amount of people(even though there weren't tons) however were very accomodating.Supporters there were very noisy especially towards the end and made for a great atmosphere.Very enjoyable!

Only downside for me were a few "doom and gloom" supporters that you get at every MFC game ,bitching and moaning when Port were making there comeback.One woman in particular was bagging Melbourne players throughout the game at their lack of skills.I think she must have been a triple Brownlow medalist herself however I didn't recognise her as being in the AFL Hall of Fame.

 

Did anyone else hear about how Carlton hired a cinema at the jam factory and screened (I think) the port v blues game last week? Sounded a very good idea as would love to watch a game on the very big screen when interstate. Apparently it was free too! Obviously costs etc have to be worked out, but I think it could be a good thing for the club to explore if the interest was there. I'd certainly go along.

It wasn't Carlton who hired the cinema per se, but instead part of Channel Seven's trial of 3D broadcasting of AFL games. The Carlton fans were invited on behalf of Village and C7.

I also thoroughly enjoyed the evening at the Bentleigh Club. Screaming at a box can be so cathartic, especially when 50 other people are doing exactly the same. One guy became particularly vocal with about 6 minutes to go (what a surprise), might have even been a Demonland poster?! He was later sighted outside yelling 'GO DEMONS' to anyone who would listen.

That TV seems like it has been there forever. Maybe worth investing in a high quality projector and using the pull-down screen??

That was more than likely me, hit the frothies a little too aggressively, should have concentrated my efforts on food as well. Felt very unwell the next day, but better for the win

I think everyone else found it amusing so I wouldn't worry too much.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
