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: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
