I'll be at the game cheering on the boys

If we win it'll be over to the premiership party at Rod Laver Arena,
there's also a player reception at Crown.
250 bucks tho!!!

Anyone going to Brunswick St on Sunday????

$350 this year… bargain!

Less than 50% inflation over 20+ years? Might as well give them away!

roar deal podcast has sold out, any events happening on Friday worth looking at? Only planning to get to the CBD then.

2023 Toyota AFL Grand Final Parade
From 10:30am to 12:30pm Friday 29 September

Well worth getting to - the boys will love the support.

 

[Warwick]

Ditto to what Mavoso and Olmster have said.

Call us when you get there.

Will there be an open training session during the week? When do the boys fly down?

$350 this year. Bought a ticket to this tonight.

Not a bad price hike really taking 22 years of inflation into account.

I went in 2003.
It was well worth it that night.

The Lions have an official pre game Brunch at Crown which I believe is now sold out.

Are there any other Lions strongholds for the pre-game?

Where is all this sort of stuff being publicised?

Surely any number of pubs in Fitzroy

 

[Happy_Neale]

The Rose hotel Fitzroy (Napier street) - Lions memorabilia everywhere and a great pub and a short tram ride into the city from there

Getting in Friday night from Sydney - moss the lead up festivities - but there when it matters

I don't think Rod Laver is happening this year sadly. Only the 350 dollar ticketed event after the game. Poos by club here IMO

It’ll be a warm night down here (min of 19 overnight) so could head to fed square.

Also pubs in Fitzroy will be where most people head to I imagine - Royal Derby, The Rose, The Rainbow, The North Fitzroy Arms, all possibly good shouts

 

[Grasshopper17]

Extra tickets now available to the Roar Deal live event on Thursday night. Same link below.

& The Napier & if you enjoyed Jack Irish it will be familiar.

 

[Bosh Jootsma]

Any locals who have good pub recommendations in the CBD, somewhere to just meet up with Dad for lunch before walking down to the MCG from Fed Square

 

[lionsrules]

Hey guys …. 5 of us coming down on Thursday …. On Friday evening any Fitzroy pubs where there will be a fair few lions supporters so we can soak up the atmosphere and have an honest pub meal ?
