Melbourne v Fremantle @ Fremantle Oval - 5th March, 2015



Recommended Posts

Mountain View Hotel, Bridge Road Richmond is where I will be tonight, enjoying a counter as I watch us whip the Dockers!

Is that the definition of being "counter productive"?

Is that a good place CBDees? How's the food?

I'm back visiting from the USA & not familiar with Melbourne sports bars etc.. Recommendations from anyone most appreciated.

Was thinking of the Bentleigh club as it's nearby?

Thanks

Are you back for round 1 on Easter Saturday Rob? I'll be down in Melbourne with my son for that (staying in the city).

As an alternative to The Mountain View I'd recommend The London Tavern. It very close to TMV but has a much more old style "pub" feel to it other than the TV's scattered about the place. Food is good and they have some nice wines in amongst the usual pub offerings. The Brother In Arms is very reliable.

Either are a long way from Bentleigh though.

Hey, good to hear from you again. Yes, see you at the game if you like?

Yes, will try to arrange something (I'll PM my mobile number at some point in time)... I think I read somewhere that the Casey game is on at Olympic Park at 11am, so maybe try catching up there even (it's just a quick walk over the footbridge to the MCG from there)?

I'm really interested to see tonights game, will be great to see how much of the more attacking style we have been working on comes out in game.

and to get a good look at Jesse Hogan against a really good defender will be great to see as well.

The food at the Mountain View is better than the Bentleigh Club plus better atmosphere (which is an indictment on the MFC)! M-M doesn't seem to like the food at the MV so maybe he can suggest somewhere?

The Dees need to make some better off field investments. I look at what the Bulldogs are doing with their Edgewater development and wonder if such a minnow club like that is making moves like that, why aren't we?

I'm heading to the bentleigh club to watch. Nice and close for me.

As a demons club they have the big screen projector upstairs and nice to sit with demons diehards.

See you there.

I expected a touch better at the line.. +18.5 at $1.90.

Nevertheless I've dropped a $150 on us for good measure.

I am reasonably confident we get within 3 goals with Fyfe, Sandilands out and a Roos vs Lyon game of defensive tactics.

These coaches won't let the shackles off just because it is NAB cup, they are both men of structures, discipline and defense.

I'm the opposite. Think the -18 points Freo is very generous and have backed it accordingly.

Spoke to the Bentleigh Club yesterday mdemonski2 and they are not showing it in the big room upstairs where MFC games are usually broadcast.

Said it will be on in the Members Bar, which has big screens but will also be showing the racing no doubt.

Signs you're a Melbourne supporter #134

You [censored] bricks over a NAB Cup game, with the quiet chant of "please don't suck" running through your head on a continuous loop hours before the game.

I never get to excited for practice matches before they're simply that. We have been working on things all offseason, theres a very good chance Roosey will concentrate on a few things tonight like, structures and pressure on the ball, play on quickly etc.

You never give away all your moves in pre-season, i expect us to go in low and hard. Im really excited about seeing the new guys and what they add.

I saw last season that we're well on the right track, now its about putting it together, looking forward to seeing Salem in the back half and Hulk up forward.

Im hoping for a solid hit out and no injuries!!!!!

Logically, I know you're right. I'm expecting a pretty solid hit out with some strong individual performances.

But I'd be lying if I said I was relaxed.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
