GABBA - This
is always a well attended function and we are hoping things continue to be
successful. We will be holding an official Melbourne Football Club after-match function
for all supporters at the
Pineapple Hotel and we invite everyone along to join in and hopefully celebrate
a win over the Lions. Our last two ventures against this club have been
successful however our last trip to the Gabba was not the result we hoped for.
Join Chris Connolly, Dean Bailey and our team of Demons and
join us in a rousing rendition of "Grand Old Flag" to rock the
Pineapple to its foundations. There will be merchandise available and drinks at
bar prices. We will be meeting in the upstairs rooms before the game as well
however players/officials will not be in attendance beforehand.
Cost will be $ 5 per person with kids under 8 free for the
after-match function.
For those new to Queensland or indeed just to our function, I
have put a map here of how to get to the Pineapple from the Gabba. Essentially,
just follow the crowd of red and blue fans and they will lead you to the hotel,
but for those that just like to know where they are going, here is a map.

Want to watch a game with fellow
supporters? Want to be a game day host/hostess?
In the past few weeks I have been asked quite often whether
we get together for drinks and to watch games on TV. I have, unfortunately,
had to say that although I would like to be able to put them in touch with
fellow supporters in their area, that most people up here prefer to watch alone
or with family but turn out at scheduled venues has been with very limited
success. I want this to change so that visitors from interstate will have people
to meet to watch games with and indeed just anyone who wants to meet other
supporters to watch our team battle it out in 09, should be able to choose a
venue and find supporters there to watch the game with.
So, if you want to register to be a "host" at a
venue near you ( all it requires is for the venue to have an area to watch it in
and the ability to show PayTV) and your willingness to field calls on where to
meet each week, please fill out the contact me form and I will put fellow
Melbourne supporters in your area in touch with you.
Doesn't matter where in Queensland you are - if you know of a
venue that suits and would like to be able to celebrate the highs and
commiserate the lows with other Demon supporters, then we want to hear from you.
