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.

    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?

    Anyone else more excited about this game than last years GF?

    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). 😑

    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.

    I spread the love LFS. 

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

    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 😊

    Forecast says 27oC and partly cloudy for Wednesday. I reckon we’ll be right

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

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
