Yeah I’ll be going to that also, are you a golfer? Highly recommend the course, I’m playing St Andrews beach golf course on Friday.  Here’s hoping for 2-0 while we’re in attendance.

Unfortunately no glofer, but I like the Resort and the clubhouse and only a short walk to Metricon and back. Heard great things about St Andrews.

 

For those wondering if there will be GA seating, there is plenty. The email from the AFL related to afl members only regarding reserving seats.

I wonder if ground floor standing will be allowed? That’s been my usual over the years. I can’t sit while watching us play 

 

I have my membership on my phone so assume the barcode will be there in 18 hours, 20 mins (that's what the Melbourne app is telling me). I'll be there on Wednesday but was intending on using one of my 2 free GA tickets included in my membership for my brother.

Does anyone know how that process is going to work? I'm particularly keen to sort this out as there seems to be some doubt as to whether walk-up GA entries are going to be allowed on the night...

Sounds like my prediction of 55K looks on the money.

Whenever Q1-Q12 is GA it’s never a good sign for a monster crowd.

No. But just as worried 🤭

Similar plans for us BD, arrive just after 1030 and stow the bags in the hotel. I then have to take Mrs Right Foot Snap for Yum Cha then we can hit some traditional pubs on the way to the ground. We also have to detour to the Rebel in the city as my big order from the demon shop a month ago isn't going to make it in time. Dworship suggested the Arbory which looks really good, but we are going to save that for lunch on thur or Friday.  Any pub suggestions with like minded people would be be welcomed. Second time going to the G and very excited.

I don’t know if they do yum cha, but I highly recommend the Mao Please dumpling restaurant in Little Bourke St. Fantastic dumplings and noodle dishes.  I make a point of going there whenever I’m in Melbourne.

We played the Bulldogs three times and won twice, Adem.

Adem has a good deal on his mind - I forgive him; his performances over the 2021 season were brilliant - and I am expecting him to now have the 'tools' to do the job on the Doggies (including all other teams) with aplomb. Minor statistical errors occur but seldom de-rail a locomotive.

 


Was there no vfl this weekend?

Dunno if excited is the word. I always imagined heading into a new season (post-premiership) would be different, as in, less stressful. Personally, it’s worse. Three days out and already I’m having standard GameDay breakfast fare ( four coffees and five cigarettes). 😑

Which boozer do you frequent pre game BBO?

I spread the love LFS. 

Y and J's, The Duke ...., that pub in Fed Square.

Edited by Bitter but optimistic

Dont like the Wed evening slot, but it is what it is.

Will head down to the Duke after work for a bite to eat and a couple of frosties, then off to the ground early because I too do not trust the new ticketing system.

More beers in the Betty Cuthbert bar will ease the nerves

Go Dees!

Based on the weather forecast I think most of us will be huddled in the standing areas… raining all week from tomorrow, ripper.

Forgive ignorance, but I assume the Duke is the Duke of Wellington, and Y and J is Young and Jackson's. They look exactly what we are after enroute to the ground. Thanks.

They have currently sold 48K seats including MCC which is going to sell out and AFL. I'm guessing 70K with all the GA members scan in on the night.

only a 'medium' chance of showers according to the bom; they've got it listed as 'partly cloudy' and 27

Hardtack, online it looks like that placed is closed unfortunately. We plan on looking for the Yum Cha place we found in 2018. Hopefully that has survived the covid shutdowns.

Two 'happy' gentlemen overheard us looking for Yum Cha and pointed out what they said was the best Yum Cha in Melbourne. I can't verify that claim but it was really really good. A search through old bank statements says it was the Dragon Boat, and it appears to still be open 😊

He's counting a pre-season match which we lost: so he's correct.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
