Was going to suggest Waterfront. Only one within walking distance.

Mightvhave to wander in around 12 for a couple of pints before the game.

Sounds like a plan, keep an eye out for a fella with a grey stubble beard sporting a new Jonesy 300 cap. Mrs DW was very nice buying it for me.

Correct if I'm wrong but every time we play North at Blundstone they end up kicking with the wind in the first quarter meaning that we were always too knackered to take advantage of it in the last?

The most minor of minor danger games this one, if we can't handle the wind. 

In 2017 we had it in the second and fourth quarters - Q2, kicked 6.5 to 2.0, came into the last quarter six points down, kicked 2.4 to 2.2 and lost by four. Classic Melbourne.

We usually go to the Waterfront Hotel before and after. It's near the ferry stop and then a short walk to the ground. It gets pretty crowded but they have  a large outside area which is great when the weather's good, which it should be.

Thanks mate.

Thanks for clarifying. Your MFC memory is off the charts.

I know in 2019 we kicked 1.7ish in the last qtr with the wind including Preuss missing from 10 mtrs out directly in front.

Bad things happen at that ground.

About 91 or 92 MFC were flying and knocked off Pies and Bombers in succession in must win games. 
front up to Sydney- had lost 36 straight or something -get rolled.

Further question for the Hobart locals- can you get a ferry to the ground atm?

plans to restart commuter ferries soon on a 12 month trial (sullivan cove to bellerive)

We got Boon bay 12. Couldn’t get anything in Ponting for a group of our size (8). Not perfect but should beat the garbage we’ve had the last few times.

Boon Bay 13 here Nasher, taking my daughter so nothing too rowdy if you don't mind?

Mate @ work got offered some tickets via a local basketball club, they gave him the code and it was good for 20 tickets ?  I suspect the basketball club was affiliated with North Melb!! hehe.
