We should all be drinking only Aussie wine post China’s attack on our local industry.

    Not that I need any excuse to drink wine but you’re right. A lot of small wine producers have been doing it tough between bushfires, Covid and now the effective closure of the china market. It’ll be Australian wines only in our household for the holiday period and beyond. I’ll definitely be giving some Bleasdale Shiraz a whirl as well.

    Well done to the Dees who keep adding commercial partners during these financially tough times. 

    But lost Tyrells to have space for Bleasedale. Just swapping like for like.

    Same here. I immediately thought to myself, ‘who the [censored] is this dude?’

    And then I almost immediately discovered it’s actually a new club sponsor. My settings instantly turned to ‘thank you’. All good. I now have nothing but affection for this entity and will purchase this wine, whether or not I like it.

    Why wouldn't you drink Australian wines? Best bang for buck in the world. What do you normally drink BDA? From where?

    Who is mostly responsible for bringing on all the new sponsors?  Is it Gary Pert? Who else?

    Whoever it is is doing a tremendous job in the current climate.

    Hats off to Tyrrells wines for being a sponsor for so long. Covid-19 hasn't helped their business and the PRC whacking on exorbitant tariffs I assume was a tipping point. Bleasdale welcome aboard. I just hope they make a pinot grigio, my favourite summer drop. But yes, good work on securing a new sponsor.

    Agree.

    Im a Scotch drinker, and dont have a huge affinity for wine, but i had saved a few links for different wines from Dan Murphys over the last few days for the reason you mentioned. Already searching online for some stuff from our sponsor instead.

    Drink up everyone. Oz wines for the festive period !!

    Australian wine is excellent no doubt.

    Spent some time in South America, Argentina in particular, and developed a taste for the Argentinian Malbec variety. Chilean wines are very good as well. The missus prefers whites and likes her New Zealand sav blanc from the Marlborough region.

    Not rocket science, just target companies/industries that have thrived during this time.  The wine consumption in my house has certainly increased, so we've ticked that box.

    In the coming days I expect Sorbent to be announced as our next Back of Jumper sponsor...

    Back of Shorts I would have thought.

    I spent a week at Bleasdale one afternoon. We were asked to help ourselves. The result was not pretty. Great wine though, I still buy there Malbec.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
