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.

    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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
