I was hoping to get over to Perth for Rd 1 with my lad, but now can’t. Does anyone know if there’s an ‘official’ venue in Melbourne to watch the game? Does the Bentleigh Club or the Sporting Globe(?) still put Dees away games on? Thanks guys.

Awesome - thanks so much.

 

The Rose in Napier St, Fitzroy is pretty good. The food and beer choices aren't bad and it's not overrun with nuffies on game days.

Is that the Fitzroy pub with footy memorabilia all over the walls, was there a few years ago and always meant to head back

Still has some but it was changed hands a few times over the last 10 years. it is all clean lines and brighter spaces/less clutter now but still a great pub.

Hi Pennant St. Quite possibly although if it was a few years ago there may have been others

If you were there on a game day and they played the song afterwards then it definitely was. The fact we were 37 second from hearing the Gold Coast song last year still makes me shudder.

Yeah. A little more refined these days but still a good venue when we play interstate. I heard that the guy who own the place is a Crows fan but there’s usually a good turnout of Dees when we play. There’s a good chance I’ll be booking a table for the WC game.

The Napier Hotel in Fitzroy has a stack of footy memorabilia on its walls and good food too

Ethically sourced, macrobiotic and artisanal food served by men with long, well groomed beards  ,no doubt , if you frequent this establishment.

The Bentleigh Club has been a disgrace in recent years. It feels as though you are imposing on them to find you a TV and a few chairs, and half the staff can't work out how to turn the volume up or get a decent picture. Last time I went (GC last year) we were sardined in a tiny room. It is not surprising that barely anyone goes there any more.

Nup.  Good ole fashioned pub grub.  The bar featured in the ABC series Jack Irish was modelled on the Napier bar.  It is like stepping back in time and I and a group of mates eat there once a month on a Friday.  Good craic as well.

I have tried to support this joint over the years by organising a group. Dont bother mate they have zero interest.

I boycotted the Napier many years ago.

Lived in the area and it was one of my (nany) haunts. At one point they banned footy jumpers.

Around that time a group of mates and I rocked up after a final win (night game) and we were pretty boisterous, but no problems. We were in the back bar playing pool, singing the dees song and generally having a whale of a time.

A bar staff came and warned us patrons in the front bar were complaining about the noise and told us to be quiet or leave. We left.

Imagine that a front bar in old worrying about good natured post footy hub bub. Have not been back since.

I was a regular at the rose when Dave owned it. Huge tigets fan. There were regular lock ins. Matty Richardson worked tbere for a while as a young fella. Nice bloke. Rubbish barman.

It would be unfamiliar to you. They don't serve people with punctuation skill issues.

I'd never go to any pub ever again if I held a grudge like that, Trashy!

Several years ago, I had the same, repetitive service ethic thrown in my face and those of my guests; other patrons were experiencing the same thing at the BC so after the third week of disappointment,  dissociation was the only way to respond. Never been back since and sincerely, never missed the experience. Sporting Globe in Richmond - excellent, friendly, service-oriented, committed Demons and laid-back for a few colds with the footy.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Looks like we will head to the Sporting Globe - hopefully will see some of you there.

That's what I suspected, the laptop might have to swing into action as my tv won't pick it up.

You can buy an android or apple TV box for a couple of hundred dollars. Using the inbuilt apps on the TV's is not that great as they are often the last to be updated. The boxes however such as nvidia shield are constantly udpated.

They are so easy to use and are the ultimate definition of plug and play

DJ the problem is I have already used up all the HDMI sockets on the set. Used to have a Chromecast on our old Tele but even it is too old according to Kayo. I have investigated previously using the apps on my Panasonic  tv and according to Kayo it is not available through this set. No big deal mate life will go on if I don't get to see the game so be it. I have thought of having  Kayo In recent times because there are so many sports that are not available via FTA that I like eg. Motor racing. 

Of course there is always that old technology called radio.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
