Thanks Chippy.

Do you think there will be more views if the thread title is changed to FREE BEER ?

[BarnDee 286]

Sure does and better still when we've won, Prodigal Son calls it Won Beer. Last year, after the GWS game my wife called to see when I'd be home. Told her I'd be home after Won Beer. She couldn't work out why I got back at 1:30am, obviously she'd misheard me!

And the funny thing is all the guys totally understand your brilliant decision, but yet all the lovely wives think we are irresponsible alcoholics.

Great idea this one, we could/should make the duke in winter a great place for dees fans to gather

[Demonsone 1,601]

Based on previous form..... Not many pints!

[Sir Why You Little 34,511]

What is the address of the duke? There are many.

Haven't been into the CBD for a while!!

its on the corner of flinders street and Russell street

[Barney Rubble 1,576]

Yeah it's about time we got a pub closer to the "G"

A couple a jars prior to the game.

Then hop a Tram to the Game.

Or walk if you can.

It all sounds pretty tribal to me.

Fmd.

Surely the whale isn't still pouring!

Poor bustard was near on 150 kgs last time I had a beer in there.

Was there on Sunday. Didn't look like the place that would have a gentlemen of that girth behind the bar. They had a range of beers on tap (for a price) with some craft and international ones. Couldn't get a draft. Some nice upstairs seating areas and an outdoor area. I get the feeling it may have been gentrified recently.

Well that means Biffen will get the arse in short time.

I'll have you know I have been omitted from some the finest institutions in the world.

And forced to remain on occasion also.

[Go the Biff 3,132]

I had a squiz at their website which is already displaying "Proud Sponsors of the Melbourne Football Club"

A few years ago a heap of apartments were built behind it. I think the developers would have liked to level the entire corner & start again but the Heritage mob stepped in & saved the pub - or at least the shell of it

It's had a fair old makeover since I last frequented it back in the 80's and '90's. There's no ash trays & not much mission brown in evidence. I wonder if they made the floors level.

Might have to have a beer there this season & find out

I remember having the arm twisted after 6.00pm on one Sunday Night in Blackwood. much drinking & singing on the table was done, & not much nibbling. ah the backroom bars after hours...

Delusional types frequent the mountains of Victoria. The altitude Has dire effects on those without the proper inbreeding.

[Moonshadow 16,215]

.....those without the proper inbreeding.

Something which you could never be accused of Biff!

Time for the truth Biff. Lordweaver told me he considered you incorrigible. Being omitted I can understand. Forced to remain suggests, that some crime was committed and you were a primary suspect. While you are considered a person of high standing at the Gat ( and I applaud this) I'm afraid you'll never make it in the polite society of Romsey ( or anywhere else).

I'm just telling you this as a friend.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,078]

if there will be any left i will be there! awesome idea! These are the kinds of things that build a community in the club.

[demon3165 1,918]

The Royal would be closer!!
