Either:

Grabbing some food (beers) heading down to the botanical gardens to sit amongst the flora and fauna with my sister and father. Then moseying on down to the G about 7 and yelling for a couple hours.

Or

Have some mates round for a menagerie of bbq'd food, beers and smoke breaks on my balcony.

Can't bloody wait!

    Yeah that was a bit of a shame when it came in, will get there a few time this year but definitely gotta plan ahead.

    Hi layzie. I understand having it as a policy during covid restrictions but all those tables in the front room will always get  filled regardless. I used to like getting there just after they opened (which used to be 12 noon during a day game) and grabbing a seat in the window with a pint and the paper until friends turned up.

    Yeah it's an interesting one, we went before the Sydney final last year but other gamedays are going to be more fluid and last minute. Will see how it goes.

    3.30 start for me.

    Sports Bar with a Saturday Roast Lamb before the game. 
    Whiskey on the rocks for the first bounce 

    Number 14. The campaign begins…

    We should all expect nothing less than a Flag this year. The list is Top Shelf and primed.

    Two hour drive to Canberra - then a flight to Melbourne to watch them mighty Dees.

    Any word on ticket sales?

    Wake up (hopefully) and break my fast. Feel nervous. Go Demons.

    Watch BT Sports coverage from 08:25 from behind the sofa until we establish a commanding lead. Curse BT’s buffoonery if it’s him calling the game. Curse the umpires.

    Join mates for pre-match pints before heading to Sunderland v Luton, EFL Championship at 3pm.

    Back to pub for more pints with an FA Cup quarter final on tv followed by the takeaway of my choice (most likely Indian from the Moti Raj) and a replay of Footscray’s capitulation, all washed down by a natty little red.

    A day of blissful self-indulgence.

    Nah. Good win yesterday but too lightweight and playing with just one fit striker and likely to be out-muscled. Back the away win.

    Looking good. My Dad spent his formative years (Thirties) following Sunderland (by steam train) around the UK. He told me there were just two teams of any note back then, Arsenal and Sunderland.

    Fast forward to early sixties Melbourne and despite my early leanings towards Footscray, he made me support Melbourne because of their intense rivalry with Collingwood, mirroring his hatred of all things Newcastle (filthy magpies, etc). He wasn’t wrong, two of the most boorish, self-aggrandising fan bases in the world.

    Anyway, back on topic…

    Lots of People hate Arsenal. That’s ok, we just quietly go about our business. 
    This year they can smell it. Won’t be easy, but they know what needs to be done. 
    Demons & Gunners. Life Long

    Well, actually, pretty nice little Saturday. We're going to Home Depot. Buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring. Stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath and Beyond, I don't know. I don't know if we'll have enough time. Then head home to watch the big game.

    Is it concerning that more than half of us die hard supporters aren't going to the game?

    absolutely zero judgment for the many and varied reasons you all can attend. I myself was going to miss but for some good work misfortune

    60K plus and ill be happy.   50 point smashing, ill be even happier

    I think Carlton will outscore Richmond, so all going well, this means they should win.

    I prefer the 1963 Stingray’s, particularly the split back Window. Magnificent car. I am not a GM guy, but they got that one right. 
    A neighbor back in the 90’s had a Yellow Stingray the same as the photo. 
    took me for a few rides. It was terrifying!! In the passenger seat i am almost lying down, all i can see is the sky and we are doing almost 200km/h down Beach Road  

    A true beast

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
