And Bail kicks the first one!

I'll donate to this site!!

really putting your balls on the line there with that 500-1 shot

 

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).
 

I feel like a kid on Christmas day right now. Can't wait.

I must be too mentally scarred because I feel a sick, nervous sense of overwhelming dread

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.

That's how I feel when you pull out your 'golden ticket' champagne comedy gag.

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

its not a joke

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)?


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

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?

Find a friend who has a large screen HD TV, Foxtel HD and a well stocked fridge/pantry.

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'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 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.

Project planning morning at work.

Curse you!! I lived through the 60's... I'm allowed to be fried.

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.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
