Last drinks will be called at Naughton's Hotel this Friday before the old girl closes her doors for the final time. The Royal Parade watering hole has been a sponsor pub for the Uni Blues over the years however the following article in The Age tells of how booming real estate prices may be the reason behind the hotel's demise.

Of note to the Blues faithful, the article quotes club icon Frank Henagan and also contains a YouTube clip of a young mud-flapped Stephen Kernahan celebrating a premiership outside Naughton's on a Mad Monday.
