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.

    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).

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
