Cheers from Cambodia.  Watching with a few converts drinking 50¢ beers. Go Dees.  Any supporters in Sihanoukville are welcome. 

 

Watching first half in bed at home in Belgium. Shower and getting breakfast ready at halftime then watching second half with coffee.

Unfortunately my wife (Crows Fan) judges me; my dog Scooby does stick up for me though :)

Keep dog

I'll be at home. 

The two finals I was there.  Ate Costco pizza before the match,  smuggled coke and scotch,  Costco hotdog at half time.....   so I'll drop off pizza to the wife at lunch time saturday and drink the scotch and eat the hotdog on my own

it's eased now.  finally 

I’ll be behind the east end of the goals at Optus Stadium throwing Toby Greene fly kicks! 

West Coast better use the stadium sponsor and phone all there friends... Because there going to f..king need it!

Go the Mighty Demons! Bring Hell! ?? ???

I’m in two minds as to whether my son and daughter and I watch it at home or go to federation square.

Although it would be fantastic watching it with all those supporters I hope we can get a good spot and be able to see it clearly.

Id hate to make the journey in , only to get a poor view of the game.

 

Taking public funded helicopter to Mornington Peninsula tonight. Will be yell'n 'n scream'n at some boozer but anyone know of a good one with sound & vision aplenty down that way? Flinders pub?

Good call, would hope there is no TV lag either. Very picky with that stuff!


After making the trek from Adelaide for both finals so far (been amazing!) I'll be at Bernie's Hackney Hotel sinking a few quiet/nervous ales from about 1pm ?❤️?

After being at the G for the last 2 games, i'll be watching from home.

Plenty of cold beer and a comfy chair.

However, I have been relegated to the back room on the smaller TV. Probably not a bad suggestion by the Mrs.

Uncle @Bitter but optimistic should be able to hook you up with one of the fine drinking establishments in the Macedon region?  Heck, you might even get an invite to the Manor if you ask nicely...

I can tell you that the Romsey pub is no longer operational. The pub in Gisborne was ok a few years ago.

As to The Manor - private function.

At home by myself - can yell & scream as much as I like, tape it and watch it again (if we win) - getting texts from daughter who is likely to be at Fed Square! Coming down and will be at the GF. Hope the Dees are there too?

usually take a radio to the footy and tune in now and then for play highlights (after goals) or where there is controversy etc.

Last week thought I would reduce the weight of the backpack, go high tech and listen on the phone. Didn't count on the delay of around 30 seconds where the ball would be at one end and they were still commenting on the play from the other end of the ground !!

Went and bought a $7 mini transistor at the $2 shop for my next trip to the MCG

tip. i bought a portable inexpensive DAB+ radio. it works great inside the mcg and on the train, where the typical am/fm radio wouldn't. highly recommend - all the footy stations also broadcast in digital (dab+)

Haha we've all been there! Only to get the rude surprise of the delay. I quite often like listening to the radio coverage at games if I'm there by myself. The trade-off is having bursting pockets consisting of wallet, phone and some clunky transistor unit.

Really need a smaller solution, might try and get to a $2 shop before heading to Fed Square tomorrow!

Are you wearing a skirt for the Grand Final if we make it?

Mornington Peninsula — has the polo season started?

Trip Gill off his pony, will you please.

And no doubt nothing noted at the MCG gates by the “metal detectors”.

Idoubt if they have batteries in them .... maybe they are mock ups from the $2 shop too?


Watching on from Cocos pub in Rembrandt Square, Amsterdam with Skuit. I just witnessed a Richmond supporter go feral there and swear constantly at anyone near him in the 2nd half. Classy effort. (They really are everywhere).

They always remind me of toy light sabers.

Scholars Lounge in Rome - would love some company...

 

No idea yet. I could watch at home by myself or go into Fed Square. I genuinely haven't made up my mind but I'm becoming more anxious as the match draws closer...

In exactly the same boat.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
