Any suggestions in the CBD Demonlanders. I am knocking off early and getting a bite to eat with a mate and looking for a good pub to attend before the game.

    The Duke is a great pub especially if you coming from Flinders St or Fed Sq. Will be a big representation of Dees at The Duke on Friday night including me.

    I normally head to the Corner Hotel. Decent pub grub and service is quick

    Yeah, I usually inhale a few pre game at The Duke, but when it's crowded, as it will be Friday, it can be a long wait between drinks.

    Been a while since I went to the Corner pre game might have to change that.

    Book a table at the Tippler online if they still have any available. It’s on Wellington Parade and a 2 minute walk from gate 3 at the G.

    ⬆️ When you really wanna say something but you feel you’ve nagged relentlessly about it so you clam up. Then someone else says it. 😊

    Thx JAG007❤️💙

    Likewise. Far nicer than any of the sticky floor establishments lining Punt Road and relatively nuffy free.

    Booze and pre game drinks is a delicate balance for night games WCW . It's all about pacing oneself and requires high level athleticism to be standing at the final siren.

    The Royal, Punt Road. See you there.

    Make sure you have a collar though.

    During the Northey years it was all always fantastic at the MCG hotel after a win. Swooper would sometimes get in there and mingle with Dees fans. Generous with his time.

    What if the Pope agrees to give the dees a blessing?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
