Punt Road Oval is MCG where the final will be I think. Any pub with a big plasma in thefront bar will be the go I think.....

Crown Sports Bar would be a good place to head. Perhaps a couple of the pubs on Punt Road opposite the G' might be worth a look. The Cricketers Arms or The Royal to name a couple.

Go to crown if you want to hang out with the dregs of melbourne. What a hole that place is. Many pubs all over melbourne will have projectors. Most will be pretty full.
