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.

    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. 


    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?

    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"

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
