Dargo Hotel - MFC Connection?

Article in the Guardian about the Dargo hotel which is for sale. An accompanying photo of the inside bar shows on one wall a framed Melbourne Football Club jumper. Is it significant? Who owned it? Does anyone know why it is there?

    I was going to troll a bit and make up some nonsense like it might belong to the late Billy Green who played 2 games back in the late 60s and then went on to play for Orbost. But that would just be silly.

    All I can add is that Google isn't the trove of all knowledge as all you get when you google "Melbourne Football Club Dargo" is pages full of links to stuff about Charlie Spargo.

    Could it be our new training base? At least we’d have the social venue much-coveted by some around here; and we’d be close to the snow for the hoary old cliché-peddlers. No need to worry about prying eyes for closed sessions. Snake count might be a problem for some track watchers.

    If the CEO got lost in Bright reckon he might struggle finding his car park in Dargo.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
