Adelaide v Melbourne - Match Thread

Thoughts thirty Minutes before the game.

For me the most important and interesting thing will be the first quarter, specifically the first 5-10 minutes. if we can get a run on and continue the style we had from last week it will be a big moment in our development and baileys career (even if we do end up losing). if we get blown away and dont start playing good footy til the game is over in the second half then some serious questions will be raised.

FWIW i think we can win, but if we dont click straight away it could be a nasty afternoon...

 

its 4-5 goal breeze.

Last minute thoughts... we're going to lose.

Whether we get humiliated or not, is another story all together.

Also if Rivers doesn't play I might just cover my eyes everytime the Crows get a clearance.

 

I reckon the loss margin will be determined in the 1st qtr. If we are still in it at 3 qtr time i.e less than 3 goals - then we will win it.

But my gut tells me a 70 point flogging.

Triple M say wind going straight across the ground - no advantage either way.

Love the consistency :lol:

Nice mozzing.

Melbourne tie it up again.

Adelaide 12

QUARTER TIME

ADELAIDE 8.1.49

MELBOURNE 4.4.28

2 problems:

Our ruckman are so dumb they keep tapping the ball to the opposition

Brett 'always tearing us a new one' Burton.

No Rivers = No Backline. If his OP has flared up again, we can kiss our defensive efforts for the year goodbye.

Valenti has been terrific so far.

while we're down 20 odd points i'm pretty happy with that quarter... as spud pointed out on the tv adelaide are very efficient going forward... they haven't missed yet with the one behind being punched through by warnock... you're always going to struggle when this is the case...

don't think we will win it, but the game plan looks like it's working...

valenti has also been good, laid a couple of good tackles and hit aussie with that good pass... shame he missed that shot at goal...


ADELAIDE 11.5.71

MELBOURNE 5.5.35

Without a defense, Melbourne are going to struggle with any ball kicked into Adelaide's forward line.

Adelaide also have a very very good defense themselves.

This makes the game practically unwinnable.

Television moment of the year when one of the commentators mistook Simon Buckley for Simon Godfrey!

Spot on, Jack.

A superb piece of commentary from John "get's the job done" Casey.

They both kick with the same efficiency <_<

We are in some serious trouble with our backline. Sure the ball is coming in at the speed of light, but the lack of awareness and organisation down the back 50 is truly amaturish. Jeff White getting caught... I mean why aren't the players talking to each other?

Brett Burton is doing my head in. Can he just once not rip us apart?!

Thank god for the ray of light that is Morton, Aussie and Valenti.

poor 2nd quarter... not much more to say really... umps are looking after the crows, not effecting the result though...

 
We are being crucified by umpires or is it just me being frustrated

How was that soft free for Burton and then no holding the ball in our forward 50?

Still not an excuse for why we can't actually zone properly in our back half, or win an effective clearance for that matter.

And to think, Bartram is holding McLeod really well, but imagine if he starts to dominate. Heaven help us!

Umpires are costing us the game, !!!!!!!!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
