Forget football royalty … actual royalty is coming to football
By
Football royalty descended on South Australia for Gather Round.
Now actual royalty is going to descend on football.
As the sun sets on the weekend’s action in South Australia, one Victorian club is gearing up for a visit from none other than the Duke of Sussex this week.
Sorry Scotty, there’s no cash in a wildcard round

Crows cop blame for Gather Round weather
By
Peter Malinauskas has assumed something approaching rock-star status at the fourth instalment of Gather Round.
The South Australian Premier is working the room with ease – cracking gags about Donald Trump, trading light political jabs with Andrew Dillon and, perhaps most notably, taking the occasional unprovoked swipe at the Crows.
At his lunch at Adelaide’s rooftop mainstay 2KW, Malinauskas turned the city’s inclement weather into a punchline – as any self-respecting Port Adelaide nuffy might.
Is this the scoop on the biggest story in South Australia?

I’ve told you about the state of play on the trip to Adelaide – a journey that plenty are making this weekend. But a hot topic this season is a potential trip away from the city. And I received a tip this week that might shine a little light on the situation.
It’s no secret that Port Adelaide star Zak Butters, a restricted free agent at season’s end, is being hunted by the Western Bulldogs, Geelong, Essendon, Hawthorn, Melbourne and, according to Footy Classified’s Cal Twomey, now Richmond.
But here’s the word from real estate watchers: a rental in Williamstown just received its first applicant. The name on the application?
Z Butters.
Hot seats and in-flight entertainment: The exodus to Gather Round
By
It’s been a hot minute.
The last time I wrote a “Scoop” column was in September, and “Scoop in April” doesn’t have quite the same ring to it. Luckily, this time I’m headed across the border for Gather Round – so welcome to Scoop in South Australia.
I’m pumped to “gather” for the first time, and I can tell you there was plenty to report before the plane even left the tarmac at Melbourne Airport on Wednesday.
This columnist wasn’t the only one heading west to the city of churches. In fact, you had to look no further than seat 1A to spot football royalty.
