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.

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

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.
