Any houses for sale in Jolimont Terrace?

The East Melbourne Group encourages the offices to revert to houses. I am sure that converting a terrace into a licensed Clubhouse would go down like a lead balloon. Didn't the MFC once own/rent one there?

Yes and sold because of the planning problems

I agree we need somewhere to call home socially.

There is a great pub in the city that we could use as a club and the owners are Melbourne supporters, hey the are even a bronze partner on our sponsors page on the website.

http://wharfhotel.com.au/

The Wharf Hotel sits on the Yarra River opposite the Exhibition Centre just down from crown.

Imagine having a Demon Boat Shuttle Service along the Yarra from the Wharf Hotel to the MCG and back again on game day. On the wharf hotel web page they even offer discounts to MFC members, with a bit of work between the club and the owners I am sure it could be turned into a great location to watch interstate games and a good spot for a beer before and after another Demon victory!

Whilst not located close to the MCG or AAMI park it certainly is more appealing than the Bentleigh Club.

I was in there a few months ago having a beer and they even have Demon pictures up on the walls.

Just a thought!

This looks like a great alternative

Thanks for letting us know it

What is the potential for parking? As we drive and park currently a tram ride in to the g would not be as inclusive as a ferry filled with d supporters

Does Barrass still own The Mountain view on bridge Rd?

I do agree we need a social club. I've been to the Bentleigh Club a couple times and IMO It's a run down pile of crap. You may as well just rock around to my place and watch the footy out on the deck while I cook the barbie & serve up some cold cans it would be a much better experience.

I accept - what should I bring?

Nice Idea Matt, If we have a Members Hub, we could have a Cuban Beach party in April...at a venue near Richmond. Outdoors on the Deck,,, April Sun Beach Party with Barbie cooking, watching a Lazy Sat/Sunday arvo/evening Matinee' game against the Suns, start at around 4.00PM...

All things are possible...

I dont mind The Corner Hotel-but it may be too grungy for some Demons.

Thats where I meet mates to see a game .

There's that nice big bluestone catholic church near parliament.

Should get it cheap if we wait till end of next year

Yeah and they might even leave some dressup gear around. Surplus surplices as it were. Wrong colour I suppose but there are party possibilities.

As long as we keep some sort of discipline.

I put you in charge of that .

The catholic Church can use the Peel or the Laird .

If we rent something around Stewert St, or Swan St, 'Bensons was good',,, Until we build something near AAMI & Gosch's Paddock, we could utilise it for offices & Social Hub & sell memberships & Paraphernalia.

Have a Winter/Summer social base/cafe.

Watch games, wander down watch away tests with friends, to catch up before or after games meeting point, training days... team announcements after work,

IMO Swan St is under developed.. It has some cool.

Bit like barracking for the Demons .

Look forward to meeting you there one day Father BBO.

I would have thought a bloke who wears his underpants on the outside would be at least a bit tragic.

I think biffo knows the tragedy i refer to. And at least i wear them.

I'll let you in on a secret too. Not only do I wear them on the outside but I have a backup pair on the inside. Keep that to yourself though

Bless you my son. In the meantime go and indulge in a bit of mortification of the flesh to make up for your many and varied offensive comments.

I might have to give Demonland away - there are too many wierd types.

As performers you would hope they know enough to pack the costumes.

The show rolls on.

The tragedy is timeless.

But the show must go on .

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.

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.
