Re: What's your pregame tradition?
Well when I was a kid it was to look around and grab a few of the empty large -sized steel Fosters cans....which I then used to stand on in the outer to see the game better.

Re: What's your pregame tradition?
Balancing exercises. Good for the core and the brain. I use them with my older clients in particular, to great effect. The younger you start, the better. I also used to stand on cans to get a better view. My mates and I also had the ritual of cardboard "tobogganing" down the grass slope out the back of the scoreboard at Moorabbin. Huge fun!
I started with nothing and I've got most of it left!

At the Spencer Hotel? That would have been before my time. I started going there in 2008 with a mate who loves good food and wine.Bernard Shakey wrote:Have they got rid of the topless barmaids?SaintPav wrote:about 2 hours of binge drinking. used to be at the Spencer hotel which had great food and beers on tap including Vale ale but alas, it has turned into a dumpy backpackers.
The owner was a Swans fan and the last time I went there was the final we lost in 2011. It was closed at the beginning of last season.
I had some good and interesting times there.

I don't agree, the dressing room is always far too crowded and it all gets a little tacky.hungry for a premiership wrote:As a player, of any sport, I always found that sex before a game was a good preparation.

The owner of the spencer also owns one of my locals in Mt Dandenong, is a ripping bloke and was good enough to give me a few free beers after that 2011 swans finial. He did enjoy telling me all about the game thou.SaintPav wrote:At the Spencer Hotel? That would have been before my time.

Yep, he was a nice friendly bloke. He once gave us his access one tickets one Sat night against Freo in 09 who we smashed. I heard he was opening up a pub somewhere in the country.Saint Pup wrote: The owner of the spencer also owns one of my locals in Mt Dandenong, is a ripping bloke and was good enough to give me a few free beers after that 2011 swans finial.
