Best place to watch the Brisbane game

Featured Replies

Posted

Hi all, hope everyone has recovered from the loss and moving onto this week. The fam and I were meant to head up to brisvegas tomorrow night but things changed. We are looking at the second best option and find a pubĀ that otherĀ Melbourne fans would all head to...

Any suggestions? CheersĀ

Trust me I wish I was going!

I know it’s normally how I feel but it’s nice for a change to actually go to the game and luckily I have two up here this season.Ā 

Just hope weĀ bloody win.Ā 


I normally go to the duke on flinders street to watch the interstate games normally has a few Melbourne supporters. Nice food,Ā good beer and great times!Ā 

Really depends what neck of the woods you are in @armstrong35

The Duke is usually a good choice but if you aren't prepared to go all the way into the CBD, you might want to try something more local.

Yeah I’ll probsbly head to the duke of Wellington. It’s ok, doesn’t have the sound up much but it does the job. If anyone knows a place with a better atmosphere around the city or Richmond it would be good to know

Does the Bentleigh club still show games and is it much chop?

It sure does. They’ll put you upstairs and you can watch the game with fellow Dee supporters.

I used to watch our interstate games at our other pub the Leighoak as I live 500m away.Ā You’d get a few Dees supporters in there, not a bad atmosphere. I turned up to watch the St. Kilda JLT game a couple of weeks ago only to be told they gotten rid of Foxtel! So you can’t even watch our club at our club run pub. Wtf?!

I know a few good places in Williamstown but they aren't Melbourne exclusive. Plus if depends where in the West you are.

I'll be watching at Hotel Sorrento in the bar. Really nice spot with great food! Cmon Dees!Ā

Not far from Williamstown, maybe I can go check some places there. Rather be out and watch it than just at home :)Ā thanks for that.Ā 


@armstrong35

Steampacket Hotel

There is also the Rifle Club near North Willy station. It has FoxtelĀ but itĀ is infested with pokies. It was my local while I lived there but that was mostly because of its convenience.

I’ll be heading to the Lower Plenty. Bloody good set up for footy on massive screens.

Up here in Brisbane and watching 1st game live at Gabba for about 3 years.

At the gabba also. Nice and warm up here not much rain aboutĀ

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.Ā They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season.Ā Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table.Ā The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hopeĀ that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, MelbourneĀ captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles atĀ Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.Ā  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, aĀ career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested),Ā nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.Ā

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
