Happy with this. If they're letting crowds back in I could mosey on down after lunch at the Victoria Hotel just around the corner. I do hope this doesn't leave the girls with a slew of interstate games to play at the back end of the fixture though.

    This use to be known as Hart's hotel in my younger days even though it's correct name was Victoria Hotel

    Hi DD. It still has Hart's Hotel written on the Victoria St side of the pub.

    A Sunday afternoon in footscray (Covid permitting). I'm looking forward to it.

    Doggies will be no push over but i'm sure the girls will be focused on the task at hand. Unlike the men they don't drink their own bathwater.

    Still a good pub, holding it's own in an area filled with micro breweries and speakeasies. I was there a few weeks ago.

    How did a boy from Braybrook become a Deed fanatic?

    A well known western suburbs identity has been asking me for decades how a boy from Bray brook can be both a supporter of the MFC and Liberals.

    Because I can do what I want.

    MFC answer Ronald Dale

    LOL. I'm not from the era of prohibition Old Dee. They're actually one of those throwbacks that have come back into vogue recently.

    DD you and I agree on a lot of things and I echo much of the sentiments above but you lost me at the Liberals comment. If Michael O'Brien want's to win the next election his media people need to stop him looking smug and smiling when DA has a challenge on his hands. As Morrison found, better to keep quiet and let the other side shoot themselves in the foot.

    I won't discuss politics on this site dworship but you are probably not wrong on that call.

    I only brought it up as a response to od's question regarding my support of the MFC and what someone else has been saying to me for an awful long time.

    I thought that  but few of a tender would know what you are talking about.

    Just to keep it real: prohibition was an American thing. We never had it, so we never needed speakeasies.

    What Australia had were Temperance Hotels where you could not buy an alcoholic drink, but tea and coffee instead. There were only about 15 of them in Victoria as opposed to maybe 15,000 pubs.

    Glad to hear though that a few classic old pubs are thriving still without turning themselves into TABs or restaurants.

    I hope there isn't a fire...

    Or a riot when the Dees roll 'em by goals...

    I haven't been over to Footscray in ages. Looking forward to it. 

    Not an easy game by any means but i think we have the forward power to overwhelm the Doggies. Go Dees.

    Going to miss Goldrick’s kamikaze zip out of the back half. 
    is she injured or dropped?

    This is a game that will test our coach.

    I am still not convinced that he can bring a flag home.

    I thought he was outcoached in the 2nd half last week.

    I hope that I am wrong and it is a case of tv watching v seeing live.

    But every thing is going well and I hope it continues.

    Women needed a "speakeasy".

    Not allowed in front bar, required a male to buy the grog when in the lounge in the earlier years.

    Restricted bar times created the need for sly grog shops in Australia, (closed after 6pm and on Sunday).

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
