You could almost start a weekly thread - Army tales or the like, I always enjoy your stories of who you met or what you observed from the cheer squad

What happens in the Army, stays in the Army 😉

I know a few Scottish people that would be upset at me if I didn’t mention that Jimmy Barnes and Bon Scott were both born in Scotland. 

The former is also a big Rangers fan. Not sure about the latter who was born in Forfar. Both Angus and Malcolm Young (RIP) are bluenoses though.

He was a cameraman at Adelaide Oval. One of our own DL-ers has a brother who ran the AV at AO for some time and said that the mystery was no one ever knew if he barracked for the Dees or just let loose with the woo-hoo for S&Gs. 

The bigger mystery was why Michelangelo Rucci kept coming to the post-match pressers dressed up as a dero with Villies spilled all over his Vinnies outfits.

Yes but… ‘Michelangelo Rucci’ Cool name so all G. Also… there’s nothing wrong with Vinnies, they’ve been dressing me for years. Also, also… what’s a villy???

Dad and me always sit amongst the Crows/Port supporters in the Eastern Stand level 3 or 5 and have never really had any problems with them.

Perth and Brisbane we have had run ins with absolute twats.

They look pretty user friendly to me.

The abuse seems to coming from the internet


Port fans look rough, but I've always found them really lovely. Just into their footy and a bit one-eyed.

There's some likely lads amongst the crows fans though.

I prefer to wear Yves St Laurent.  I buy from their local distributor, the Brotherhood of St Laurent.

A South Australian bakery whose pies, like anything else from that state, aren't as good as Victorian ones.

I dunno, I'd take South Australian fritz over any of the similar manufactured meat products we can get here in Melb. 

 


I was at both games and must say I didn’t have any issues with Port or Crows fans. Maybe it was because I sat near the cheer squad so we had strength in numbers, but apart from the booing from Crows fans about the umpires (bizarrely when they were getting everything their way) it was all fine.

Certainly nothing like Blues and Pies fans in the finals last year which was about as bad as I’ve seen it.

In the old days Vilis ran a late-night factory outlet serving up delectable baked goods straight out of the oven direct to the public. Was always an interesting trip at 3am on a Tuesday morning in Australia's hydroponic equipment sales capital.

South Aussie fritz with Lebanese cucumber makes for a surprisingly MasterChef gourmet sandwich. Don't take my word: ask King Charles!

I spent a lot of time at my Grandma’s farm in SA during May or Sept holidays and my Uncle Butch would always take us to the Truro Market he loved the German metwurst and Fritz, we would have it on toast with homemade chutney and lunch as a sandwich with lettuce tomato and cucumber salad. It was far superior to anything made back in Vic. My holidays on the farm are the best memories a kid could have, free range eggs, fresh milk and cream, lots of lamb and bacon, riding on the tractor, sheep dogs, etc. a little glass of port each night after playing 500 or Eucre before bedtime each night.!!

Had a great time sitting with the Demon Army on Thursday, first time my brother and I have been in amongst the cheer squad since we were kids. 

Just a side note since Pies got brought up, those pies at Adelaide oval are the skinniest pies I have ever seen. Barely anything in them!

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
