Should be called the Trabant Centre: a car described as something that gave communism a bad name and was described as 'a hollow lie of a car constructed by recycled worthlessness.' Seems apt somehow.

place should be burnt down then decontaminated and left fallow for a decade

    these days if you want anyone to turn up (and stay) you probably need the social club to be in king street :lol:

    Perhaps at Inflation?

    Was the "Duke" ...now ?

    Sporting Globe this year. Apparently went off during the Eagles game.

    Would do very nicely for a finals celebration.

    Otherwise social clubs aren't a thing any more.

    I will probably have a bag.

    i hope you are correct but half a century of experience has taught to keep your expectations in check.

    If we win the grannie, can you please let me know where I can find one of those bags Mr. Old?

    Forward planning, I think it will form a central component to my celebrations unwinding nicely.

    Chook, ever seen the movie "Go Trabi Go!" The Osties DO (or did) have a sense of humour after all.

    The Morris Leyland Centre ?

    in other "News"....

    Brad Scott might be abandoning his rebuild at Norf to do a full Reno/block of units at Collingwood.

    What a shambles of a club.

    They look good sipping lattes in Middle Park but Pert and Eddie have ruined the joint.

    Lost Vic Park

    Sacked a flag coach/split the flag team

    Footy staff hate it

    Players hate it.

    Hope they stay on

    I much prefer the Duke. Sporting Globe in Moonee Ponds is okay, but the food is average and you get an undesirable crowd there sometimes. Not sure what the Richmond one is like. Duke was great because it's central, and after Melbourne wins they had a free keg for Melbourne members. Had many a big night there from 2015-2016. I won't be rushing out to Sporting Globe anytime soon. Wish they kept it a CBD pub.

    The Sporting Globe has hosted the last two interstate games, Gold Coast and West Coast, and they've been enormous nights there, been to both. It's the next best thing to a social club, as you get to share the euphoria of a win, or the emotional roller coaster of a loss, with like mindeds. The beer selection there is awful (they did have David Neitzs' beer, Brewmanity Social Beast on for the first game but not the 2nd) but members do get 20% off drink prices so that helps parlay the indifferent range.

    Presumable The Bentleigh Club is no longer affiliated?  Used to have dos for interstate games.

    Why can't we have a social club at the MCG? The filth have a section it even had their emblem out the front, this was about 5 years ago now. I felt sick when i saw it, it's our home ground not theirs.:mad:

    This a very pressing issue to be addressed now .

    When we win the flag where the hell do we go to celebrate the the occasion ?

    The MCC in their wisdom will shut their joint up. MFC a division of the MCC as long as they like it until then !

    After 5pm what happens next , Do we just wander down to Gosche's paddock or Aami and go  " Go Dees "

    Where the hell do we turn up on sunday to celebrate our flag ?

    Sadly I don't think the MFC's got the ability to address.

    If you think I'm getting ahead of myself then look back in September !

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
