Daniher’s Drive – A Day for a Great Cause!
A few photos from last Saturday’s Daniher’s Drive event!
It was a privilege to present the cheque to Jan Daniher, wife of Neale Daniher, alongside FightMND CEO Matt Tilley, supporting the incredible work being done to fight motor neurone disease (MND). 💙
We also had a special visitor join us, with Sooty arriving alongside the CFS truck!
A fantastic day supporting an important cause and helping FightMND continue its fight to find a cure.
Thank you to everyone who helped make the event such a success. Every bit of support makes a difference!

🔴⚪🔵 WELCOME ROGER JAMES — OUR NEW SENIOR WOMEN’S COACH! 🔵⚪🔴
We’re incredibly excited to announce that Roger James will take the reins as our Barossa District Football Club Senior Women’s Coach for 2027! 🏉
Roger brings an incredible football pedigree to the role, with a playing and coaching career spanning more than three decades.
For those who may not know Roger, he is a South Australian Football Hall of Fame inductee and a 2004 AFL Premiership player with Port Adelaide, where he played 147 AFL games and kicked 87 goals between 1997 and 2005. He was also named Port Adelaide’s Best Finals Player in their historic 2004 premiership campaign. 🏆
But Roger’s connection to our club runs even deeper.
Before his AFL career, Roger played for Norwood, where he was part of their 1997 SANFL premiership side. After his AFL career, he returned to local football, winning premierships with Kersbrook in 2008 and 2009 before joining Barossa District.
Roger spent six seasons with our club from 2010–2015 as a player-coach, playing 79 games and kicking 143 goals, while guiding the club to back-to-back premierships in 2012 and 2013. 🏆🏆
He later continued his coaching career with Eudunda-Robertstown, adding even more experience across country football.
Now, Roger returns to Barossa District, bringing with him a wealth of AFL, SANFL and local football experience, along with a proven record of developing players, building teams and achieving success.
Most importantly, Roger understands what makes country football special — community, connection, commitment and playing for your teammates.
We’re thrilled to welcome Roger back to the club and can’t wait to see what the next chapter brings for our Senior Women.
Welcome home, Roger!
