24.01.2022 Hello dragons, Pre-Season will re-commence at 6:15pm tomorrow night at BLACK FOREST PRIMARY SCHOOL. Next week we will be back at Westminster School.... All current and prospective players are encouraged to attend!

21.01.2022 And now for a very exciting announcement! I’d like to welcome Brock Gifford, who has been appointed as our B Grade coach for 2021. Brock was kind enough to pen a little intro, so I’ll let him speak! So like every new guy to the club it is my turn to stand out the front and talk about me. Having spoken to Coach Paul I can assure you all that I am not a Taurus. A quick little run down on my football journey.... I played my first senior game in 1997 and yes I played four games last year. Most of my football has been played in the Adelaide Hills, but I have also experienced the Adelaide, Southern and River Murray Football Leagues. In the 1990's most of my football was in Queensland but I did venture down to Glenelg to play under 19's. In 2002 I embarked on coaching at Blackwood with the under 14's which lead to back to back premierships before heading to Mount Lofty to coach the under 17's which also lead to a premiership. During the early parts of the 2000's I spent six years coaching the Sturt under 15 Country Development Squad. I have coached A grade at three clubs Echunga, Tailem Bend and for the last two years Adelaide Lutheran, which resulted in a Grand Final appearance. I have also coached a various assortment of grades from under 14 all the way up to the three A grade sides. So what brings me to the Dragons ? I felt it was time to learn and further develop my coaching. Having spoken to Paul and Jeremy I was excited about the prospect of working within the Dragons Football Community and the ambition to move into the higher divisions. The club’s emphasis on developing and maintaining a strong culture and ambition to reach the highest division possible is also a motivating factor in joining the Dragons. I look forward to our journey together in 2021. Brock Gifford

20.01.2022 Hey dragons community, Our players/coaches have taken the initiative to participate in Movember this year.

16.01.2022 Hi Draggies Community, We hope you are keeping safe and well during this lockdown. We are a little past half way of Movember and the boys have posted some progress shots of their Mo’s. Some mo’s are starting to look thick whilst others are struggling to be seen!... With the new COVID restrictions in SA, it is now more important than ever that we reach out and check in on a mate to see how they are doing. You never know the impact that a 5 minute phone call could have! The players participating in Movember are passionate about mental health and suicide preventation. The players main aim is to raise awareness around these issues and let people know who may be struggling that there are people out there who will listen to you and help you out in any way you need! Below is the link for the players Movember page and they would greatly appreciate any donations as the money raised will be put to good use! Feel free to donate to individual players or the entire team! https://au.movember.com/team/2384536 Enjoy the photos & stay safe!
