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.

Vili’s pies are awesome.

Wish VIC still sold them.

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!
