Game Day: Adelaide v Melbourne 


Chelly

Recommended Posts

Scully 18 touches, Trengove 22 and McDonald 23.

Good reading.

And now they're saying Bell popped his shoulder and Jurrah broke his arm. What the hell is going on over there?

For listeners in Melbourne:

The Dees trail by just 3 points at 3 quarter time. A slow start, probably partly due to arriving late to the ground after an unexpectedly protracted plane flight (massive head wind nearly doubling the time for the flight). After a disappointing first 10 minutes where the Crows put on 3 goals to zip, our neonatal midfield missing Moloney, Davey, Sylvia and Morton, started to get on top. Just a quick reminder about this young midfield - Grimes - 12 AFL games, Scully - zero AFL games, Trengove - zero AFL games, Gysberts - zero AFL games. Melbourne kicked the next 5 or 6 goals and dominated an Adelaide side which while depleted, were probably not as depleted as we were. Not to forget that we lost the services of Jurrah and Bell with shoulder/arm injuries. Adelaide then had a period of the game through the third quarter where they got on top and clawed their way back into the game, and then into the lead. A late goal by Petterd put the Dees back into e contention. Overall, a great effort by a baby Dees side, and an exciting quarter to come. Scully 16 touches. Trengove 21 touches. Petterd 3 or 4 goals?

For listeners in Adelaide:

The inevitable is coming. Our extremely undermanned side led by superman a.k.a. Kurt 'Just the tip" Tippet are about to overpower this shizen Melbourne outfit who were smashed by Richmond last week and who have made the finals once in the last ten years. A Melbourne defender has played well, but the most evident thing is that all of Melbourne's ex-South Australians are dominating, but not as much as our boys who have stayed at home.

Update - Bell dislocated shoulder. Jurrah - broken bone in forearm.

bartram got slung to the ground and landed on his shoulder, the fool found it very amusing.

Thanks for that. not sure where I was.

6-12 for jurrah, broken forearm

jurrah has broken his arm, according to a melbourne official.

Shattering..

Rudeboy (who's proven his legitimacy) has just mentioned that he spoke to Liam, who said it's a popped shoulder.

I'm thinking either chinese whispers got the wires crossed and they got the diagnoses backwards, or the commentators are just woefully incompetent. I'm going to go with the latter.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
