I am going to and staying in Adelaide for both games. I need suggestions as to where Demon supporters will be eating and drinking before ( and after) the game.

    Now I am back in Adelaide, I am also going to the Gawn-Petracca Symposium a few evenings ahead from now. Love these speeches and query sessions (remembering how good the Bernie Vince discussions were at the Sporting pub in Richmond, a few years ago) - plus winning the door prize of $300-worth of Demon accessories at the next gathering. See yas all at the Strathmore, Easter Saturday pre-game pith-up.

    Ummm enjoy the fraternity of fellow Demon diehards.

    Personally, I would prefer a nice peaceful environment with the person you love and a glass of McLaren Vale Shiraz, perhaps Samuels Gorge or Paxton, Alexandrina Cheddar and Willunga Olives. There are plenty of quiet spots to indulge life’s pleasures free from the noise of footy supporters. The trick is to avoid the Port Adelaide and Crows fans. Particularly if they win. If we win, take off your scarf.

    History confirms your last two sentences, hemingway. As for the wines, I prefer a cabernet-sauvignon for smoothness and versatility with my preferred diet. The cheeses are good, as are the olives but lately, I have been enjoying the varied Italian cheeses on the market for flavour and the rangey complexity of depth. As for noisy football supporters, I do like to watch them pass by on shanks pony - particularly after a Filth loss - thanking God for his wisdom. The person I love will be hiking in her 'latter-years frenzy' to discover the true fountain of youth; she just loves energetic day-long strolls through the bush for days on end. Otherwise, she would be alongside me quietly reciting her latest tome to the Mighty Demons, their infallible successes and those amongst her favourite player list. Carna Dees!

    Indeed.

    If we win, the life guards will be off duty at the Port Adelaide gene pool

    Stay safe

    • 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.
