I see The Duke (the old Duke of Wellington) is a sponsor of some sort of MFC. I was just wondering if many Melbourne supporters get down there before or after games - or intend to. Was thinking of heading there myself for a pregame beer or two but just curious if there is any sort of MFC presence there.

It's certainly a good deal for MFC supporters Stinger.  10% off food & bev as well as a free pint if we win after the match. I might give it a try with bro before the match on Sat

I thought Earl Spalding must have returned to the club when I saw that heading.

We should never have got rid of that guy.

Tough?    He dislocated both shoulders of a Swan player in Sydney(?Bolton) with one bump.  He managed to knee Dunstall's head in.....? Deliberately. Couldn't kick, but a power forward.

I've been to The Duke pre game for a beer and a meal. Basic pub grub and a few fancier dishes. Like most pubs in the CBD the beer is not cheap, but the discount helps. Nice to see a number of Dee's fans in colours there. Worth supporting.

Nice pub, but they don't really care about the MFC connection. Watched an interstate game there once without about 40 other Dees supporters and 2 random punters and they wouldn't switch off the cheese funk music to put the game audio on.

The Richmond Club is a MUCH better pub if you're looking for some food and bevys before the game.

 

London Tavern in Richmond always has plenty of Dees fans pre match, top pub!

Been to both Richmond Club and London Tavern as usually coming from South East but coming from South Melbourne this weekend thought I'd try a new approach  

And yes Jumping Jack I thought the title might cause a bit of confusion around Spalding.

There was a big contingent of dees there Saturday arvo last week after the win. 

I like the Royal across the road from the G. Always something interesting to watch if melbourne are stinking it up

I was wondering if he had a father son prodigy.

Mountain View (also in Richmond) is a good venue to watch interstate (or Etihad) matches. As Barassi's old pub, it also has a tenuous MFC connection of sorts.

Hmmmm, I wonder why that would have been.....

I'd suggest they might get a little busier post game this year, and on into the next few. With any luck they'll have gone broke by, let's say, around early October 2018.

But Spalding caused Dunstall's brain damage that we still have to endure on Fox Footy.

Cricketer's Arms is always a good place for drinks and food before game. Quite a lot of Melbourne supporters go there as well.

We usually head to the Duke afterwards if we win to grab a free Demon Ale. Who doesnt love free beer, that tastes even sweeter

after a Victory!

Went and saw Roos and Vince speak there mid season last year.

A good night...

Free beer at the Deer's Head tomorrow after the game.
