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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
