ANZAC Day Pre-game

[Jedi01]

Hi all,

A few of us magpie Sydney based supporters are coming to Melbourne for the game, can anyone suggest a good pub before the game that fellow supportes will be at?

Cheers

Hoops question, as a Victorian based supporter I'm curious about that as well...

Pick a pub anywhere along Swan st Richmond... walking distance from the ground, and most are full of supporters pre and post game. Plenty to pick from, just walk along and choose the one that suits you best.

Then get back to the Precinct (Swan st) after the match, as they always have it on the big screen, and with the (presumed?) delayed telecast you can watch half of the last quarter or so again (only good if we win)... the place fills up with a bit of eye candy from this time onward too.

You'd have more trouble trying not to find a supporter packed pub around the G tbh.
The Corner, London Tavern, Precinct, The Cricketer's Arms etc.
You can't really go wrong.

In saying all that, go to The Beach, they could do with the extra cash

The Cricketers arms, otherwise known as the C**T on Punt.
You can get a beer and see some boobies at the same time.

That would be The Royal, just up the road from the Cricketers

Depends on where you're coming from.

Just go to the Westpac centre if you want a drink.
I even talked some Essendon supporters last year to go there.
They wanted to go to a Pub and I said if they wanted a drink to go there.
It is right across the road from MCG and filled with fellow Collingwood supporters. Atmosphere is OK as well.
Furthermore, the profits go to the club.

a dozen of us are coming from Adelaide and we always hit the Cricketers Arms at opening times.

If you hear Cherish by Madonna on the jukebox then that us

I've never had a more souless, sterile, boring experience in a place that serves alcohol than when i went to the then lexus centre for a drink pre game.

Yeah and just on that, make sure you (and the rest of the Pies supporters) make a conscious effort to never go to the Oak now that Carlton has swindled it off the struggling Tiges.

the london on lennox st is the best pub in richmond for pre game drinks IMO

 

[slappa]

would rather not drink at all than go to the bloody westpac centre.

ah you are indeed correct. i've never paid too much attention to the name of the pub to be honest
