If you're not so badly hung over after the Old boys meeting, we would all appreciate a full game report on the Saturday match. It looks like that will be the only info we'll get on the game.

Haha fair play. If it's a Rebels home game surely it should be played south of the border in Wodonga...
It'd be good to hear how the game goes for both sides. The media that clubs put out is sometimes transparently cheery.
Sorry, in my eyes road trip loosely translates to train trip to Geelong. If I remember correctly there is a train station right near the stadium and apparently a decent pub nearby? Warm up beers perhaps?
As for Beers before regular home matches I've typically hung out at the Cricketer's Arms, but I can be persuaded to get a cheap Pizza and Pint before a match. Depending if we win Ill be up for pints after the match too; typically anywhere within
I know Turf Bar is popular pre game too although it's really only a good option for those finishing work in the CBD.
I met Fivestarstu there for the only Rebels game I've attended.

Too far from the stadium pre game, always good afterwards though.
One thing the Rebels fans need, a mutual pre game pub. With the stadium being short walk from the City and Richmond we have so many options.

Richmond has a cornucopia of drinking holes!
It should be easy enough to organise in the weekly match thread. Nominate a bar close to the ground and those in the area can swing past for a chinwag.
Agree about the Turf. It's good if you can get a table but inconvenient for a pre-match beer.

Agreed. I'm coming from the eastern 'burbs and going to the CBD, then back to Richmond is counterproductive. And it eats into valuable drinking time.
Richmond is easy and everyone will have their fav watering holes. I know that RCH, PO hotel, Holliava specifically cater for that 25 - 40 market and have a firm eye on serving decent beer and having meals for people heading off to the footy (known in some circles as dude food). All those three have Fat Yak on tap so i'm very easy to please.
I like the suggesting of picking a watering hole before game day and lobbing there for a pint.

The Rebels just tweeted me to say that the game will be broadcast on Rebel Radio

The squad has been announced for the trial too.

Probably best not to read too much into it but a couple of interesting things stood out:
Timani in the second row
Luke Jones gets a full game in the second row
Colby at 6/8 but not 7
No Neville (is he injured?)
Steve Foulau is indeed getting a trial at hooker

Tom Kingston playing a full match as well, Lahiff only playing in the 1st quarter.
Like the look of the back line for the 3rd and 4th quarters. Don't think he is giving to much away with forwards selections, all the talk has been about defense so will be interesting to hear how they get on at the breakdown.

I've created a match thread as I'm sure the discussion with ramp up now that teams have been announced and there will be a radio call of the game.

Can you buggers south of the border agree what you're going to do before home games. I texted one of you to meet at Beer DeLuxe in Federation Square before the Tahs match last year and was stood up. Was I in the wrong watering hole? Was I wearing the wrong clobber? As my lovely spare rib was with me at the time I must say I was very impressed with BDL, could've quite happily made a session of it.

Alright the vote is on.

Polls close the night before the first game so we know where we can meet for a Pint.

Possibly working on him playing at 6 to have two opensides on the ground if he and fuglistaller end up being them.
