Left Foot Snap

Don't want to do a facepalm, but that is cringingly bad 😋 I love it!!

Thanks Damo, looked open online but just tried to call and the number is disconnected. I'll look into Westlake. Thanks for the tip.

I'm staying at Royal Pines because I like the short walk around to the ground and back. Will be having some drinks at the Tees clubhouse before heading around. The Kebabs at Metricon are a pretty good dinner!!

Keep some hope, it said closed temporarily but so do a lot of places unfortunately. It's sad losing good places you enjoy. Like we just lost our favourite places on Eagle St Peir in Brisbane.

Thanks DS I will look into those.

It's being advertised on TV in Brisbane.

Hardtack, online it looks like that placed is closed unfortunately. We plan on looking for the Yum Cha place we found in 2018. Hopefully that has survived the covid shutdowns. Two 'happy' gentlemen overheard us looking for Yum Cha and pointed out what they said was the best Yum Cha in Melbourne. I can't verify that claim but it was really really good. A search through old bank statements says it was the Dragon Boat, and it appears to still be open 😊

Forgive ignorance, but I assume the Duke is the Duke of Wellington, and Y and J is Young and Jackson's. They look exactly what we are after enroute to the ground. Thanks.

Unfortunately no glofer, but I like the Resort and the clubhouse and only a short walk to Metricon and back. Heard great things about St Andrews.

I have to get the tickets for Metricon tomorrow. Booked Royal Pines a month or so ago. Good start to the year before relying on Kayo again!!

Similar plans for us BD, arrive just after 1030 and stow the bags in the hotel. I then have to take Mrs Right Foot Snap for Yum Cha then we can hit some traditional pubs on the way to the ground. We also have to detour to the Rebel in the city as my big order from the demon shop a month ago isn't going to make it in time. Dworship suggested the Arbory which looks really good, but we are going to save that for lunch on thur or Friday. Any pub suggestions with like minded people would be be welcomed. Second time going to the G and very excited.

Which boozer do you frequent pre game BBO?

Good luck Nev, you little champion. Think he will make a great assistant coach.

Is there any news on timmings or sequence of events for the night yet? I have been looking but haven't found anything yet but assume that I have missed something.

I don't know exactly how the numbering works but we got cracking front seats in Q50

Given his concussion history he is always not far from being one big hit away from being finished. If he got the chance to maximise his next contract, where ever that is, then good luck to him. I would love for him to stay but his next contract should be his best pay day. Hope it's with us but he has paid his dues and if it's better for him personally to move then good luck to him. I think he is smart enough to love the club but also be pragmatic about his future.

Watched Trenners on Open Mike on Kayo the other night. Extremely good bloke who doesn't shy away from owning his situation. I always thought he would make a good coach but he chose a very different and less volatile path. The club would be better if he could have been involved for longer.

Gandalf, I was an armchair member too because we generally can never get to games. I rang the membership department and they suggested I upgrade to a 3 game membership. Difference was only $30 and that was the same amount I saved on my seat ($20 for me and $50 for my wife as a guest). All sorted within half an hour once I got through. Might be a good way to beat the rush on the morning.

Ring the membership department and they will send it to you. Was on hold for quite a while (to be expected today) but they were really quick to respond when I got through.

Thanks Roy, my Lonely Planet Melbourne book doesn't cover the covid world.

Does Victoria have its own QR code sign I'm app and can you link it to Medicare for the Vax proof. I assume sign in and proof is still required for bars and restaurants and the QLD app won't suffice down there. Wow, haven't left the state for so long now!!

Thanks, I was going to ask the same thing. Only been to the G once before for a final in 2018, just took what I could get then. I'm sure Marty would agree, any other advice would be appreciated.

Thanks Dw, I'll look those up. The Arbory sounds good with some good food and a nice wine before the walk 🙂.

Thought I would bump this thread and see if there was anymore news locally about ticket sales? I am looking to come down for my second ever game at the MCG for the flag unfurling. My other game was the 2018 final v Hawthorn so ticketing was a lot easier back then. I would also like to ask some advice from anyone willing to give it about areas of the ground that are usually mostly Melbourne supporters. Also is it actually a 6pm start Mebourne time is that just my computer messing with my QLD location? The last question I have is where is a good place for a prematch drink with like minded Dees supporters. We will be staying on the CBD and walking to the ground. In Brisbane it's the Pineapple hotel for us. Any advice would be very appreciated. Thanks.

There would be no irony in the that unless you had as bad a right boot as my left was.
