Quite happy for Hawthorn to eat there and not us. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.smh.com.au/national/human-excrement-found-in-free-gelato-20081026-gdt0cj.html

That’s what happens when you complain and the chef finds out. Very harsh response imo. 
I went there a few years ago with friends and the steaks were good although we didn’t have dessert !!! Thankfully team is in Manly

    Wise choice

    On the ABC last night Gladys said no return to lock-down in NSW - they have to learn to live with case spikes.  Definitely time for MFC and the AFL to get out of Dodge City.  Likely that Queensland (if they close the NSW border), SA, WA, NT and Tas will be the only available hub venues for the second half of the season.  Expect MFC to be on the road for a long period.

    Looks like all Victorian teams are moving to Qld for the remainder of the season.

    Everyone out of NSW soon, maybe last game on Sunday...but maybe not?

    Love of r the dee's to come to WA for their base, that way I can go see them love every week for the first time in a long time.  Though I expect we'll being Queensland with the majority of teams. 

    Seeing them play would be enough for me.

    I can just see us having to leave NSW before Sunday and our match against the Hawks postponed. That would be so 2020 for us.

    I wouldn't be surprised if we win our next 8 in a row, come in to flag favourites, then the season gets cancelled.  That's about all that's left to happen for our 2020!

    My nightmare is winning a flag and not being there to see it. Don't get me wrong I'll take it but it truly would kill me in a first world problem kind of way.

    I've sort of been there, done that. I was at the 1964 Grand Final but was too young to remember any of it.

    Long way to go before a GF. The spike can slip through the net as we have seen in NSW.

    My parents weren't into footy in a big way back when we were winning premierships in the early 60's, so I could only listen on the radio (no live TV coverage).  I'm yet to SEE us win a GF.

    I’d recommend the Meriton Suites At Broadbeach.  It’s excellent apartment style accomodation.  Not the hotel one room setup. 

    It’s only 5-10 minutes Bus trip to Metricon stadium. Good local shops and cafes. Woolies within 5 minutes walk.  Close to the beach.  Pacific Harbour shops close. 

    Definitely not stay in Surfers. Too much trouble there. 

    The only issue is proximity to the casino. Don’t want to tempt young blokes with $$$ 

     

    RACV Royal Pines Resort is other option. It’s big and players can keep busy with 18 holes of golf on any of the courses.  But it’s away from anything else. Perhaps that suits if you have to do the Q-tine thing 

    We've really been f'ed around the most so far. Games cancelled, moved to NSW and then to Qld.

    Hopefully we can still win enough games to make finals and then who knows what will happen given the only teams that will play home finals will likely be Qld, SA and WA based teams.

    Grand Final at the Gabba.
    45000 puzzled spectators !!! 

    C'mon ref that has to be a knock on!

    THEY'VE BEING DOING IT ALL GAME!!!!

    Looks like games in the NT remain a possibility. Hopefully they can fly one of the Adelaide teams over. It just won’t feel like a Darwin home game without everyone cheering for the opposition.

    I’m thinking we play the finals in Auckland.  It might be the only safe haven come late October. 

    Geelong would love that....  

    GMHBA - 170 x 115

    Eden Park - 137 x 110 

     

    The team flies out on Monday to the Qld hub.

    A couple of comments I heard at a recent Lions V Dees GABBA game:

    "Geez I hope the Lions get a few tries tonight!!!

    "How many points do they get for hitting the uprights"

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
