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.

    If any of the Dees ladies are reading this, they’ll know where to get a Parma afterwards

    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.

    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: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
