Is Balaclava a decent place to stay in Melbourne? Is it close enough to the G and Marvel and have decent eateries nearby?

Pretty well located for transport.
A few eateries and pubs around but St Kilda is only a short walk away and plenty down there

Booked in for Mother’s Day brekky at a cafe down the road, received a second text today whilst at the footy requesting we pre order our drinks & food by 6pm tonight - has really given me the shits. This isn’t common practice surely?
Certainly didn’t pass the pub test with the boys today…

Sounds like they want high turnover.
So you arrive and the food and drinks will be waiting for you.... :?

It’s common practice in NSW for special events like Mothers Day but haven’t heard of it here before.

With the AFL advertising the Doug Nicholls Round why is JHF in the advertising? Ed Sheeran is more indigenous than JHF.

JHF is Indigenous from the Wardaman peole from southwest Kimberley.
I'm not sure of Ed Sheeran's background though.

The "Francis" surname is a relation to Fabian from memory - some will correct me if I've got the wrong Francis, apologies if I'm wrong there.

It doesn't bother me either way but of curiosity is JHF indigenous by blood?

I knew Fabian was his stepdad but for some reason still thought JHF was indigenous himself.

I think he's descended from the Fanta people, similar to Cameron Ling.

I'd assume so from his mum or biological father as Fabian from memory was from Darwin not the Kimberley.
Mind you having said that my Dad was born in Darwin and our mob is out near Borroloola.
