British Hotel, Finniss St, North Adelaide, good public bar and nice restaurant at the back. Upmarket. Good staff and pleasant patrons. Not the sort of place for a fight. Not the sort of place for Port Fans more the Crows type. You will be safe!  More likely to have a philosophical discussion with a retired academic from Adelaide Uni or pick up a middle aged lady from Unley. 

Something you have done in the past Hemmy? Pick up middle aged women from Unley??

    That sounds truly horrible.

    Is there a good bar / restaurant fellow Demon supporters should  go to for dinner before/after  the game next Friday night in Adelaide? Its our first interstate game in Adelaide. Any advice appreciated. Go Dees.

     

    The Wheatsheaf Hotel in Thebarton is well worth a visit for the spectacular range of beers if that's your thing. It's in the free tram zone too, which would get you back to the Casino/Train Station in 10 min or so to walk the rest of the way.

    I like the inference there - the second part sounds delightful?

    Lets just say, I know Adelaide quiet well, and can testify to the fact that it has a very different culture which is reflected in the tastes and appetites of the locals. 

    It has a little bit of the Upper Classes of Old England if you know what I mean. 

    The advantage is that once they know your an outsider, there is no interest in on-going social intercourse.  By the way, an outsider is anyone that does not go back at least 5 generations.

    I can see Ethan that you are an act first, talk later sort of guy.  Kalgoorlie is no doubt your kind of town.

    If you get the chance to go for a long lunch, go to Hahndorf up in the Adelaide Hills, plenty of nice wine and delicious food up there.

    I’ve never been there but I’ve been told that before, perhaps in my younger days. My sort of town now is Donostia.

    I worked in Halls Creek. A 12 gauge was standard issue. 

    Luckily it was only a year, that place is nuts.

    • 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.

    • 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.
