Game Day Pre-Match MCG Meet Up

[Harry Reems]

Hi all, I’m rekindling the tradition of 7 years ago and organising a pre-game meet-up for those Freo supporters going to the game on Saturday.

Seppo organised an amazing pre- GF Big Footy Freo Supporters get-together at the Great Northern Hotel in North Carlton back in 2013.

So can I get some suggestions for a venue from those keen on attending?

The meet-up time will be 5.00pm, so we need somewhere close to the G.

Tonga Bob Allikat

Any takers?

Hey mate, Seppo often organises catch-ups on Twitter I believe (he did last game anyway), I’d bet money he’s flying over. Maybe hitch onto that wagon or see what he’s doing, he’s got experience haha. I can PM you the Twitter handle if you want

 

[jerms]

There's a few other groups also looking to organise catchups (FB, Twitter, Reddit) and it's looking like they're all coalescing around Beer DeLuxe before walking to the game together at around 6pm.

Don't think Seppo is coming over here this time btw, Snuff.

[edit: 3:30pm start time, or come anytime before 5:30-6]

I thought Seppo lived in Melbourne?

Possibly, Tonga Bob gave me his twitter before the game on the weekend so I assumed he lived here, he was at the game at least I believe

Used to live here, moved back to Perth a couple of years ago.

Surely old Gill Griffin is making his way here for this glorious event?

When did you move to Melbourne? I thought you were in Stirling with the ball n chain and your cat

Man I’d love to but have moved to country Victoria, plus am recovering from the lurg so no trips to Melbourne for me this week. There’s a bunch of Freo folk looking to arrange a meet up via Twitter though. If you’re keen then PM me & I’ll point you in the general direction.

Seppo did indeed move back to the mother country a few years ago.

Over in Melbourne this week for training. Naturally I’m staying for the game, but desperately need some mates to hang with.

I was in Melbourne last weekend catching up with a mate. If it was this weekend coming I'd have caught up.

 

[Rhufus]

Im flying over for it, staying in the CBD, putting on shield of steel and plastic spit deflectors and heading to the G to face the feral army. Should be great. Still on a high from the Optus comeback. If there is a consensus pub, list it here, cheers Rhufus

It looks like Beer Deluxe at Fed Square.

Hard to get a handle on exact numbers, but should be at least 25 of us, possibly closer to 50.

Look for a purple shirt with a red cuff and a green cuff!

We’re heading there for 4pm

I’m having a coffee at Fed Square now, after staggering here from “one of those places” in King St. Has anyone booked a table at Beer Deluxe as yet?

 

[Quazar]

have a great time everyone, enjoy the meet ups....let's hope the beers in you are energized by a victory and you can sing yourselves hollow into the warm September night!!!

There's a few booked, but I spoke to them yesterday to let them know approx how many we'd have there, and they said there's unlikely to be any capacity issues.

Warm? Melbourne in early September? lel.

I have Nick Riewoldt/Derek Zoolander's black trench in my bag though, so between that and grogs I should be right!
