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. 

    Mountain View is always reliable.

    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.

    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.

    who can forget being in the dressing rooms pre and post those games.

    Northey was special in the way he embraced the everyday follower

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

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
