Finishes on Friday:

 

Spinifex Skateboards is raising money for our First Nations Skate Tour, 2023. Since launching our social enterprise we have had numerous requests from our supporters for the opportunity to purchase original artworks painted on decks...so here it is everyone! We are nothing but honoured to be able to provide this rare opportunity (very rare!!!) for one off, hand painted artworks from the Ltyentye Apurte community with 60% of proceeds going straight back to the artists and the rest going towards our 2023 interstate trip; taking approximately 10 young people from our community to experience a world outside of there own, influenced by the love of skateboarding .

 

We would like to open our show with a special piece by Kathleen Wallace, titled 'The Creator'. We highly recommend taking the time to read her bio. She is a prolific artists who is a strong cultural woman who holds stories of her ancestors and the history of Eastern Arrernte peoples.

 

The artwork within this auction varies from respected Elders such as Kathleen to young up and coming artists like, Shantara Hayes. Some of the works depict direct story they feel appropriate to share in this context, others paint their connection to country and the seasonal changes they observe across their land and others, describe their work as pattern making. This pattern making allows individuals to express the stories they have been told, the connection to their Culture and the observation of Country in a way that resonates with them as individual artists. We look forward to the end result which not only includes being in awe with the funds raised to go towards our First Nations Skate Tour 20023, but also sharing 60% of these funds with the artists and being able to be apart of posting the artworks to our lucky winners across the country, sharing a slice of Ltyentye Apurte community life.

And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
