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.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
