Hey Guys

This is for all our Brisbane and Gold Coast fans

I plan for this year to be a lot more social for our members and for interstate visitors. I plan to have regular days of watching the games at a local pub/club and this is where you all come in.

I need to find a venue in both Brissie and down here on the coast that we can meet regularly to watch the Dees play. The venue needs to make AFL a prority and show all the AFL games as we dont want to get to the venue and find we cant see it due to it clashing with an NRL game.. urgghh!!

Ideally they will have affordable meals and snacks for those that wish to eat before/during or after our match.

Obviously I cant be at both places at once so will have to alternate between venues and I will need you guys to all try and make an effort and come along and support the team along with us. It's not much fun making the effort to get out of the comfort of your lounge on a cold wiinters day and go along only to find noone else there..

So put your suggestions for a venue in and the most popular ones will be the choices for 2012.

For those outside these areas if you know a great place but noone to watch with, let me know as perhaps there are others close by I can "hook" you up with to watch the games.

Ok start hunting down.. not long now till the first bounce and I would love to have Round 1 v Brissie as the first social event (after NAB cup of course!)

The Pineapple is always good for showing the footy and having decent meals. The Dees have their aftermatch functions there too. I reckon thats central enough for all Brisbane-based supporters!?

Too many GC thugs...

Yeah think the Piney will be the Brissie venue.. relatively easy to get to from most places I am told - please, however, let me know of other venues you think might be good options..

Haha - with a bodyguard like me mate, you were right

Lord Stanley?

Where the hell is that?

I went to watch a couple of matches at the Boundary Hotel in West End. Their sports-related gimmick is "a screen for every code," which means we'd be guaranteed a screen, at least. The screen they usually showed matches on wasn't the biggest in the pub (that screen was for League, of course), but it was a decent size, and there were tables and a bar in front of it. No sound, though... I'm sure we could ask them to turn it up. The food's decent, and pretty cheap. Should be central enough for people to get to, there's public transport close. Parking shouldn't be too much of a problem, provided you don't mind a short walk.

It's a 2 minute walk from the Gabba. Just a little bit further up the road from The Aussie Nash.

The bloke that runs the Lord Stanley loves his AFL - so its always on there! big screens and all! has a ripper grand final day there if you're ever interested too.

Well we could suss them both out.. work out which one works..
