    Which pubs will show it live ??

    Station Hotel - Prahran. Right next to Prahran station (Hence the name I guess)

    Channel 9's Disgraceful coverage of finals

    STC is a halfwit who doesnt have a clue what he's talking about. I live and breathe league and I live in Melbourne. I had no idea there was a screening on in town. I found a pub that streamed Imparja from Darwin and watched it there with a whole bunch of other league fans. We do everything we...

    Are the "Super League" war drums sounding?

    The issue is that Rugby League wants to hang onto traditional local club rivalries, and the world class athletes it produces as a result. The small club situation severly restricts the earning potential and market growth of the sport, but not the calibre of athletes it produces. As a result they...

    Tuning into ABC Grandstand

    Hmm, Nice one. Might have to re-visit the ABC website on a Sunday arvo. As for Saturdays, I'm happy to stick to FoxSports. Sundays in Melbourne are a bit of a dry-spell. The Sunday Nine game doesnt come on until the wee hours of Monday morning and after 3 games on a Saturday night I'm generally...

    Tuning into ABC Grandstand

    Living in Melbourne at the moment and I'm sick of only having the option to listen to ABC Grandstand calling the AFL. I used to love listening to the game leadup on a Sunday arvo with the Wok. A few interviews, a bit of trivia, some misinformed callers. Top stuff. So - Does anyone know ways...

    Fight fire with fire

    I really dont think people outside of Melbourne understand just how rusted on to AFL the entire city is. As a massive league fan (no, not the Storm) I think its a unbelievably big achievement what the Storm have managed to do down here in Mexico. Most people dont just love AFL, they geniunely...

    Big-spending Sharks circle restless Ryles

    Why the farq would we buy Ryles?? Aside from the fact that he's a Stain, he's also a cat, over the hill, over rated - and we've got forwards coming out of our ears. I dont get fired up enough to email/call the club on many occasions, but I can imagine no other player that I'd less like to see at...

    NRL coverage in Melbourne pubs, clubs, etc.

    Station Hotel in Prahan - Right next to the Prahan train station on the Sandringham line. Casino always has it on, but why come to Melbourne and go to a sh*t casino. College Lawn a bit further up Greville st (opposite direction from the station) also puts other codes on - but they lean...

    top 5 games

    My favourite was a finals game between Warriors Vs Raiders - Cant remember what year, but the Raiders were rank outsiders and came out and played some of the most brutal football I've ever seen (Ruben was in the Raiders side at the time) Warriors won the match but I remember thinking that...

    skill levels

    I rate DeGois very highly, but his service from dummy half was painfully slow at times. Needs to pass off the ground, not pick it up, have a look, then pass.

    Bird lambasts 'chargedown king'

    I like Steve Price, great player - But diving for chargedowns should probably be banned...I'll acknowledge that it could open up a lot of grey areas trying to govern this area though. Maybe just tell the bloke to show some common decency.

    After watching Bird tonght...

    I thought Mason was unlucky not to get MOTM - But i've got no issues with Bird taking it. I know its been said before and I generally dont say it again because...well it hurts to say it. But jeez Kimmorley has precious little to offer. The bloke has more ticker than most players in the NRL, but...

    Greg Bird

    Yeah, never seen someone so comfortable in a Blues jersey so quickly. I think it's easy to overlook the fact that he came into a team that was under the pump, played in a crucial position that he doesnt play in club football - and dominated. The guy is born for Origin football.

    CONTROVERSY: What has prompted millersnose to bid us farewell.

    Too many personalities and agendas on this forum. Whatever rational discussion there might have once been has given way to sniping and name calling. It's become a (little) boys club. There are still glimmers of intelligent analysis here and there, which is why i still read it. But i wont be sad...
