We have a social club already.... at Mt. Hotham!

 

Is that why I cannot find at Buller?

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

Perhaps at Inflation?

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 always thought it was at Romsey.

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.

Chook that is straight from the advertising brochure, they were worse than that.

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.

Bloody small iphone ? keyboards!!!

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.

I'm 35, sisters 32, brothers 26, kids are 2 & 4 all Demon lunatics

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.

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 !
