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.

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.

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.

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

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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    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
