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...

    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.

    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 .

    Isn't masochism compulsory among Dee supporters?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
