    Club stated the AFL deal is a different event. And noted that the drink package included wines from our sponser Penfolds ( a couple of granges might ease the tension) anyhow get bitten once and you learn

    Unlikely...if not there's always Uncle's stash! 

    That's assuming they don't crack in the boot of the Bentleigh on the road trip up.

    If it were a Bentley I'm sure the shiraz would be well packed.  Can't risk a good shiraz!!

    Benefit of doubt to DD:  'Bentleigh' is an auctocorrect problem...

    The Uncle Bitter convoy has arrived in the fair Hamlet of Burra on route to Alice.

    The locals are very excited of course.

    I'm currently enjoying a libation at "The Burra" and , I must say the dining facilities are very pleasant (albeit rustic)!

    Tx Jaded. We've had some big names out on a consistent basis this year from round one. Hopefully the run of bad luck stops soon.

    For those that want a special experience, head out to Santa Teresa (about an hour drive on road that goes past airport, 50km of dirt but can easily do in a 2wd for a 2.30 pm start at the grass oval there.

    Im doing catch up drinks, so no further communication tonight!

    Any perversions to report to NoT$NoB$, UB? Your favourite tipple hard to come by up there? Or, if not, at least compromised by coming from the *shudder* fridge?

    Is Spargo named sub for this game?

    If he is, don't think he's a great choice as his body type and skillet is limited to a certain role. Also even in his usual role his form hasn't been great so there's that too.

    Man driving all that way is a great support effort. I hope we win just for that drive alone.

    They had an excellent local shiraz at "The Burra" .

    Overindulgence in which accounted for my late arrival in Coober Pedy.

    Surely it has to be Melky, you want an impact player not a defensive limited skillet ( My new word of the week.... Skillet)

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
