    I reckon it would be a great idea for the club to organise a venue, close to the 'G, where supporters could meet for lunch, before heading to the game.

    A sense of being part of the supporter base would do much for the lack of a strong culture spoken about on another topic.

    I am sure it would not take much to form an "alliance" with a good pub, not far from the ground

    Absolutely Iv's, i've often just though "if only the dees had a place in the city"

    Working in Fitzroy hasn't helped remove this thinking! Anybody ever been to the Napier? Don't anybody tell them Fitzroy is no longer.

    The Dees have suffered for a long time i think because of a lack of a "home"

    There's no where traditionally Dees supporters can gather, aside from of course the footy and club sanctioned events which (like last week's post match) can often be hard to uncover.

    Having a place where supporters can group easily would be a great step, but perhaps a fool's dream.

    During ND's tenure a couple of times after a game at the G where the players and fans went to the Hilton. Which was great after a win. ie Queens Birthday.

    It's all about "the vibe" - and these gatherings would be great for the club I believe.

    All,

    Friday was a fantastic success raising around $6500 for the club with around 60 members, supporters and friends in attendance. With a bit more time and effort next year I have no doubt that we will double our numbers here in Adelaide.

    Jim, Chris and Don McLardy told it how it was without pulling any punches, took the hard questions and answered them candidly.

    Feedback from all I spoke to was overwhelmingly positive and passionate towards our cause.

    Will see if I can get a chance to post some more info and some photo's during the week.

    Still trying to come to grips with another AAMI debacle the following day ...

    Gary

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
