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?

    Any reason to drink Aussie wine is good for me!

    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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
