yeah everyone likes free beer tastes extra better

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.

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.

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.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
