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.

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.

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.

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

And forced to remain on occasion also.

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

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

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.

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. 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. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
