[Maggot 1977 263]

Just no injuries .... PLEASE

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

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 said almost the exact same thing the other day to a friend (fried).

I'm heading to the Lieghoak club to watch.

As a demons club they have the big screen projector downstairs and nice to sit with demons diehards. Pretty good food to.

I went there for a game last year. The food was cheap, decent value for money pub grub, but could be better. The decor of the place is a mess though and the big screen was in the bistro only and was pretty poor quality projector set up if I recall correctly.

My local pub doesn't have the MFC die hards and might even move the MFC game to a second screen instead of the big screen. But the big screen is a proper TV not a projector and the place is cleaner and more youthful.

Does that game start at 4:10pm? The AFL website have it as 4:10pm EST.

[JAG007 163]

4.10pm Perth time, so 7.10pm Melbourne time.

6:10pm Bris, really pumped for this game and seeing the new blokes run around.

The knot in my gut is starting to build ....... Jeebus!

I know it's only NAB Challenge with no points riding riding on it, but my gut is clearly on a different wave-length to my brain.

You are not alone

[3Dee 1,153]

I am feeling very Olympic today!

[hardtack 10,434]

You are not alone

I'm actually a little excited at the prospect of seeing Hogan and Garlett up forward... not only just to see what they are capable of, but also to see what kind of an impact that has on the games of Dawes and JKH. Also pretty excited to see what sort of run Lamumba gives us out of defence.

It will be a great night hardtack. Also keen to look at the backline with Frost and Salem injected!

[CBDees 3,165]

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.

This is the slack thing about the MFC investment in the Bentleigh Club. They only treat it as a passive investment and pokies venue (plus a piece of real estate). They should be hands-on managers and get it really cranked up as a Demon venue. When they first bought it, they had (injured) players working behind the jump and put on the big screen in the function room downstairs and had round tables and a good meal. Great atmosphere, in interstate matches, everybody wore their footy gear and I seem to recall they also had a raffle. It was actually a fun place to go. Now it is more fun down the pub!

It would be better to go at quarter time so you can warn them about what's going to happen, take advantage of this time loophole

Damn were they at Windy Hill?

[Ted Lasso 18,914]

Calling it early, Kent, Garlett and JKH to be very dangerous in this game, if they all play well i'm not sure freo have the small defenders to cover them, they will be more worried about Hogan, Dawes and Gawn

[McQueen 17,864]

truth be told, more nervous about playing the mock bombers in two weeks time

If the Saints give them a pasting this weekend I won't be that nervous.

Thanks grapeviney. Will have to watch in the bar it looks like. Appreciate heads up.

2008 game vs Freo is on Fox Footy at the moment, if anyone wants to whet the appetite...

[Redbeard 497]

Have just signed up for the AFL Live subscription since the NAB games are free. Going to give it a crack casting the screen from my phone to the telly through the chromecast. Hope it works, can't be bothered going to the pub tonight. Bloddy excited to see Hogan play!!!

[Wiseblood 24,637]

My reaction when Hogan kicks the first goal of the game:

[What 18,810]

Would be nice to put up a fight in Perth for the first time in 9 years, even if it is only the NAB Challenge
