I am liking this game. Sounds like our skills are a lot better than Adelaides and we seem hungrier for the ball. I LIKE IT ...

Side Note ; These commentators are absolutely ridiculous :)

If they keep talking up Adelaide I am going to get annoyed. Show credit where credit is due.

Don't let it get to you Tingles they will get worse if the Crows don't improve after half time.. They are locals so they will be talking more about the Crows

Yes,they're biased but no more than Lane & Walls when Carlton plays.They are actually giving some of our guys a huge wrap.

Let's keep this thread footy related only.

To truly disrespect your opponent, you must know something about him. These guys are so typically parochial.

There's no point in anyone making excuses, claiming we'd be biased too...

What they're doing is so far below par it's not funny. Is this the best Adelaide can do in terms of national commentators (in a national, albeit practice match)?

I don't mind focussing on Adelaide players, it's an Adelaide station, and probably mostly Adelaide listeners, that's fine. But when you pass comment on a different side you have to do more than look at the team sheet in front of you.

Fair go. We're just your average footy fans, and we'd do a better job of naming and talking about Adelaide players than they do Melbourne players.

And on top of that, it's inane babble. Adelaide has a young side in? WTF?!!!

You know what I cant stand Eddie McGuire but I would rather listen to that goose commentating Collingwood then these idiots. Supply has been crap. Gee cause apparently our players havent stopped anything. MORONS !!

Poor old Belly can`t take a trick. May be a premature call, but his career may be over. Assuming it`s a complete dislocation,by the time he is fit to play again he will struggle to get in the side barring injury to other players.

If Jurrah is out for 3 months, stocks are severely depleted in our forwardline. Watts may have to be fast tracked!

Newton... Well he`s on the rookie list but he would probably have been promoted if LJ goes LTI. Has a shoulder injury been confirmed for him yet??

It's weird. WHen was the last time we outskilled the Crows in a quarter of football? I can't think of a time... Even when we were good.

True they are giving some of our players a wrap but god how hard is it to get names right. Anyway We are clearly playing the better football. Warnock is the key for mine. If he can keep Tippet out of it we win simple. They do not have another forward today in the wet. Walker maybe but Frawley is ripping him a new one.

True DD, what year did we loose to them in the finals at the G? We played two of the best qtrs of footy I can recall with Trapper and Yze on fire but the other two qtrs we were really poor and we lost... That would be the last time I can recall.

I'm not trying to make excuses. I mean they are typical of South Australians to be so parochial. They're always sub-par. I lived in the dump for a few years, and listening to the footy on the radio was as unbearable as it is today. Add to that the fact that we didn't beat Adelaide in Adelaide for my entire stay. They'd always have Risciutto (cashed up bogan that he is) as a guest commentator, and he never made any attempt to hide his contempt for our team. The Crows could go from "how will we win a game this year at all" in one week, to "who could possibly beat us this year" the next.

    THE PEOPLE SPEAK by The Demonland Crew

    DEMONLAND - Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland 2024 Grand Final Podcast ... before we took that last phone call from a Demonlander, we were discussing how the club overcame it’s midseason slump, the season-ending injury to Christian Petracca and the loss for a brief period of skipper Max Gawn due to a  crack to the base of his right fibula, to slowly surge up the ladder turning our detractors into believers and how it ended the year triumphant in the finals with our capta

    EARLY BIRDS by KC from Casey

    Wet, slippery conditions and threatening rainfalls greeted the VFL Bombers at the end of their long journey southeast of the big city on Sunday. The threatening weather combined with the fact that neither side had realistic prospects of advancing to action in September, meant that spectators gathered at a cold Casey Fields weren’t expecting a classic exhibition of football. Nor did they get one. Instead they were presented with a dour struggle that never reached great heights. It was a

    HEAVENS ABOVE by Molly Melbourne

    Who said the football gods and scoreboard attendants at the MCG don’t have a sense of humour? The gods spent a whole week teasing Demon and Bomber fans alike about Saturday night’s game. About how the entire match would be dominated by the hulking, brooding figures of 205cm Sam Draper and his 2IC Peter Wright lapping it up in the absence of Melbourne skipper and the club's No.1, No 2, No 3 and No 4 ruckman Max Gawn in the wake of that ankle injury. They painted pictures of Simon Goodwin ne

I will post the show here once I receive Binman's stats files. You can also find it wherever you get your podcasts from. We will return in our regular format once I return after the Dockers match.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    It’s game day and the Demons face a massive test which may determine whether they have what it takes to play finals this season. The task has been made all the more difficult without their Premiership Captain Max Gawn.

    GIANT HEADACHE by Whispering Jack

    The crack in the captain’s ankle might be very small but the repercussions of the injury are enormous. The aftershock of the news that Max Gawn will sit on the sidelines for the next two or three weeks has provided Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin with a giant headache, not unlike the one he faced after the Kings Birthday when another Demon superstar Christian Petracca suffered his season-ending injury. That headache is magnified by the fact that Goodwin is facing a month of tough encounters a
