Watching The Game Interstate

[themuldohyeh]

So I'm sort of heading to Melbourne this week with a few mates, and being the keen Crows supporter I am, i was wondering if any native Crows supporters of Melbourne' could perhaps tell me the best place to catch the game. I figure there is no way the showdown would get TV time on free to air... so pubs, online, casino? any advice would be greatly appreciated

casino is ok.... huge screen, but lots of people, can be hard to hear. id recommend finding a pub with foxtel and parking there for the afternoon. i cant really recommend any off the top of my head, and im not sure where youd be staying.

Right in the CBD

Crows' pub in Melbourne is Billy Bell's in South Melbourne. You'll feel at home there. Used to go all the time before we got Fox.

A group of Melbourne based Crows supporters usually gather at Bell's Hotel in Sth Melbourne to watch the matches. Port supporters gather there too, so there is usually a good atmosphere for the showdowns.

Sweet! I'll be in Melbourne this weekend, too, so will be there.

Staying in Sydney CBD, any recommendations there?

Last game I tried to watch in Sydney (two weeks ago), I ended up having to change pubs TWICE and finally got stuck in a corner with the horseracing.

I have to find a new Crows-watching pub, and I live here!

It's horrible. Especially in the depths of bledisloe cup.

I am gonna try bar 333 next, but the casino also not a bad plan. Will be in Melb this weekend, but I will find the perfect sydney Crows pub and make it my mission to stake it out in full guernsey, hat and scarf every week. Sooner or later, other Crows will join me, and we will, together, take over the pub! Muahahahaha!!

i was in melb for acdc earlier this year. went to heaps of pubs looking for coverage of power/crows nab cup game. finally found one. wish i'd had the inside info prior to that little (double) debacle. also had to fork out $500 bucks for our last night accom. didn't pre book thinking there'd be no worries. whole damn city booked out, even backpackers. putrid little backwater!

Just found this in the chives: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-700185.html

Might give the Alexandria a try. Looks like it's open again and they have 2 big screens and 5 plasmas

Games on foxsports 1 at 4:30 so good chance it will be on......I hope! I'm getting worried LOL!

I watched the Crows vs Cats there on Friday night. They gave us our own area and turned the sound up LOUD!!! Best place in Sydney to watch the AFL

Good to know!

I'll drop them a line today and check if they are showing it -- given that the Swans game is on around the same time. Will report back.
