Home on Fox Sports. I'd go to Docklands, but the wife is OS and I'm home with the kids. Just about to open a Coonawarra shiraz and hopefully be primed for kick-off at 10pm.
2012 premiers. Legit.

Was excellent wasn't it !! Plus the food & drink was cheaper than OP,(and better quality  ;D ) I can live with the $15 parking fee because it was very close & is monitored.
Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake - WC Fields

I'm off to the Rising Sun Hotel in South Melbourne, might be a tight squeeze though, they have room for just under 100 according to League Of Our Own.
Meh, what was I worried about, at least 100 there tonight and there was still room, fantastic atmosphere too.

Although it took me until about 15 minutes after full time to find out the final score, we were all too busy celebrating the win!!!

Thank you to Melbourne Storm for the live broadcast to Waterfront City. Under 20's present, the atmosphere was great...final minute and a half was nail-biting...final result  euphoria!!! Well done. Sausage sizzle and free soft drinks all game, plenty of food outlets if sausages weren't your 'cup of tea'. Parking $10 only 5min walk from venue..
Please same again Friday night?????
It's just a Storm in a tea-cup.

The rising sun hotel in sth Melb was going off after the game, credit to who ever arranged this. I cant believe the number of people asking for the score as I walked back to southern cross station and then some kids at laverton train station.
HUge effort from the boys. Im still pumped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was a bit put off from the number of bronco supporters, but justice was done, and maybe a few of the bronco players may feel a bit of justice in the next few weeks.

Wore my Storm cap today and the amount of people saying 'Go Storm' or saying 'Gee it was a close game wasn't it' was terrific. The gospel is slowly starting to spread.

I think many people under estimate the support the Storm have in Melb, ch Nein have for years what stupid @#@$$. I pretty much always wear a storm top out side of work and loads of people ask me about the game. Although riding on me pushie back from the local shops yesterday a guy in a car yelled out "go broncos" obviously stickn it to me, quite funny actually and we have the last laugh for now.

Can you imagine what would be possible if ch Nein actually pulled their fingers out  and did the game justice and promoted the NRL in Melbourne/Victoria? Its a brilliant television product, if only they actually showed it on the television...

We are really starting to make inroads…
I received 2 phones calls a 1-text message from mates at the St Kilda V Hawks game on Saturday night asking about the storm score.

If only channel 9 promoted the game more……

Great article about Saturday night

Tigger, it was, lots of kids under the 10 and plenty of room for them to throw the ball around. A few 'quiz comps' with give aways and as been stated free snag and drink.
