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 !

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
