In the comfort of my own home. It's on free to air and I also have foxtel. But before I got it I used to go up to our local club but there was always this annoying guy there who'd yell out go dees in that annoying tone that people do to make fun of us and was just a right royal pain. Plus if you got the opposition fans it was even more annoying.

I'll either be watching on "Premium Chrome Cast" at Chez Fence surround sound Caravan at Beaaautiful Down Town CottonTree caravan Park in MAROOCHYDORE, or The Local Pub!!!

We should start a thread for the most interesting/ exotic/ most remote and or strangest places watched . Perhaps with what people as well.

In my mind' s eye, I can see some die-hard supporter decked out in Dees paraphernalia listening to some crackling old valve radio in the middle of a forest/ lifeboat somewhere.

I was once stranded on a dodgy houseboat on the Clyde River near Batemans Bay having to constantly hold the radio in different positions just to check scores. When I say dodgy, she was perfectly seaworthy unlike my wife and I.

If anyone wants a quick hassle free uncontested divorce,  I do reccomend houseboating with one's partner.

Incidently this reminds me of a Perth mate who had tix for the 21 granny which sadly clashed with his wedding day.

Rather than let the tickets be wasted, he placed an add in the local paper for any one wanting to take his place.

" It's at 4pm @ St Mary's Catholic cathedral. 41 Victoria Square. Her name is Rachael."

I'll see myself out.

Ps Maroochydore is not a bad spot to be in. Especially if you pull in a few fish at half time.

I'd join you Mr oversized pickle, but unfortunately my gulfstreams currently  in the shop having diamonds encrusted into the upholstery.  Maybe next time😄 I'd say enjoy but it seems a tad superfluous.

What a ripper spot to watch it. I hope the Satellite holds up for you unlike my pirated Kayo.

Your humour is often too rich in depth and obscure for me - I’m but a simple person. Keep it up 🙌🏼

Ah yes, I must have got the postcode wrong on the envelope! Apologies!

Internet makes it too easy these days. Not like pointing the shortwave antenna on the 15 m waveband working the Nan Hai 5 platform outta Wenzhou - East China Sea

good crowd, sound turned well up, good banter, crowd into the game.

probably the best i’ve had in melb is the Rose in Fitzroy although that was many years ago. not sure it’s still the same vibe. we might need to consult the pub connoisseur @Rab D Nesbitt

Hi @Engorged Onion and @DubDee. I must confess that I haven't been there since pre-covid times but I'd say it's still good craic. Always a good idea to call them early in the week to book a table (unless you're happy to stand) and tell them which game you're coming to see. It's usually locals that frequent the place so there's always been a good vibe when I've been there. Good food and a reasonable selection of beers. 

I'll probably head to the Vic Hotel in Brunswick. The owner/manager is a Dees fan. they have a big screen and multiple TVs with lots of room to watch. Standard pub fare on offer.

But not too far up! Ears are still bleeding from The Crafty Squire during last year's Champions League Final, literally had to leave.

Ah yes, the Aracadia Village Hotel.

I was at Maggie (as the locals call it) last year and had a few drinks at that pub.  Fantastic beach nearby.

However, wouldn't they be screening an NRL match?

Ahh, my friend - that was the Maggie Brewery in Picnic Bay - the other side of the island.  Yes - its NRL centric - > but if you batter your eyelids at the European backpacker staff, or buy enough rounds they'll flick it across to the AFL.

Hope you got to jump in the pool as well :)

oh ok ... I went to the Picnic Bay hotel, but not the Brewery. I also went to Mamma Roma for dinner, which I seem to recall was behind the Brewery?

I had a meal at Mamma Roma's last night - it faces the beach and views across the bay to Townsville, and the beers at the Brewery (far better than the Picnic Bay Hotel) were bloody magnificent last night. Highly recommend the Pilsner to go with a meal at Mamma Romas (which they allow to you take there).

Go Dees! (and if you get a chance again, come back to Maggie, I can't advocate for it enough.  We've got a little abode here, so is good to escape the southern climes - my dear wife and little man, have let me come and have a mini holiday).

But no beers for me tonight - a 21km in 27deg heat with 700m of elevation tomorrow... so just waters in front of the TV tonight 😄

Too much info...probably.🤷‍♂️

Recent scuttlebutt suggests demonlanders are descending upon Uncle Bitter's manor.

I do hope the cellar is stocked.

Sadly it's probably just fruit salad for me tonight facing the ensuite in my bedroom.

Bt fruit,  I mean mostly grapes.

And by grapes I mean the fermented type.

OK , yes. I'm having wine for dinner.

That's okay because I'm having soup for an entre.

Wild Turkey to be specific.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
