Where to watch the game?

[aydo]

I’m looking for the most biased, one-eyed, feral Collingwood supporting pub in Melbourne to watch the game on Saturday.
Any suggestions? A big screen would be ideal but not necessary.

Where are others going?

Cheers in advance.

Go pies.

I am thinking at this stage going to the live site which will be at the AIA centre.

Me too. Went in 2018 and it was a good set up.......until the last few minutes.

I will watch it on my own at home, so I can have full immersion with the game and not be distracted by others. It also means I don't have to worry about those around me if I need to let fly with some choice words at different stages.

Is the live site a ticketed event? How does seating/standing generally work?

 

[The Dawes]

anyone know if you'll be able to get beers at the live site?

Very important question

 

[The Dawes]

Very important question

my reading of it is that the event at the AIA centre will be a licensed event because the are charging a fee to access it, but the one at Grand Slam Oval won't be as it's free.
No idea on seating et al.

I would rather do this then go to the game TBH.

2018 was painful, having to be polite and smile with clients at the game, when inside I was dying.
GOD I hope we win this time.

Does anyone know what the shade is like at the Live sites? I'd imagine later in the arvo the west side (pavilion side) would get some shade. Does anyone remember what it was like in 2018?

Yeah have to say I'm concerned about the Sun going to a live site.

Anyone been to the King Hotel on King Street just close by to s.cross? Good place to watch sport? That's where I'm currently booked in

 

[jimmy35]

Be the live site for me if I lived in Melbourne. Ride the highs and lows together. As it is I’m shunning all company and watching from the mancave, I watch better on my own.

 

[Ulahoopski]

Does anybody know the situation in Brisbane?
Is it the Pineapple Hotel for Collingwood supporters?

 

[SuperSteele22]

Watched 2011 at the live site inside the old Westpac Centre cafe/bar area. Can confirm it was a great setup and unreal atmosphere. Pity about the result that day too

G’day folks, tiny hijack, I’ll be in Perth CBD this Saturday, any ideas on a good Magpies friendly pub?

I’d like to know as well but I’d be surprised if the Pineapple was a Pies hotel. I would’ve thought Lions.

 

[manicpie]

I'll be home alone and sipping iced lemonade.

If you can’t go, watch at home.

No people standing in your way, no line to buy an $18 pint… and one can swear freely and creatively like a well trained cockatoo

Plenty of time to go to venues afterwards

Before this Grand Final all Pies GF I watched have been at Home

Queensland Collingwood supporters group took over the place in 2011 grand final.
Must admit I'm thinking about locking the doors and closing myself off from the outside world as I did for both 2010 games.

I'm watching it from the NASA Space Station.
