Strategy The Gather Round Thread For 2026

[Tonga Bob]

Hey fam, so ya boy has made the hasty decision to go over for Gather Round this year. NFI where I'm staying or what tickets I can get but thought I'd throw a thread up to see if anyone else is having a similar hare-brained idea.

I'm going! Freo v Pies Friday night at Adelaide Oval.
It is a great few days, went to the Barossa last year, and melted watching Freo beat Richmond.
Perth will never get it, sadly!

Nice! My plan is to see a couple of games & to discover breweries.

It really is a good event and is well done by Adelaide. Feels like a proper celebration of football.

Looked at it saw the airfares and went **** this.

Going to Melbourne to watch us play the bulldogs instead

The Adelaide Hills area is great in general, Prancing Pony is also out that way which I liked.
In the city Mismatch, Shapeshifter and Little Bang were solid depending on your lean for beer style.

Coopers ale house and earl of lester (just out of city) are two good spots if you want a big schnitzel.
Meat and Wine Co - another great spot, but a lot more expensive (worth it)
luigi delicatessen - this is a good spot for breakfast if you are in the area. ((Franklin st)
Peel St- most restaurants in this area are pretty good.

Happy to answer any other questions, will help if I can.

I am from Adelaide, going to the Freo vs Collingwood game.

Had a little (but audible) giggle just then.
