Not sure if this needs a thread of its own, but I think it's pretty big news if he misses. He normally kills Melbourne when we play them.

Also noted of the Adelaide website that Neil Craig isn't expecting the Crows to show form until Round 4+. Would be nice to get a win against them just before they hit their peak.

Edit: Crows calling it a corked knee.

Excellent. I was scouting them on TV on the week-end, and noticed that he was not right. Something wrong with his knee. Burton was poor too, so that should go in our favour as he's killed us many at time over at AAMI.

I wish them all the best in their recoveries. With that out of the way, WOOHOO! I'm gonna high five the dog that's awesome news. Hopefully their midfield come down with Polio and Neil Craig gets the plague. Nah, get well soon.. Go DEES!

It's been a long time since ive thought we were a good chance to win.

C'mon Dees, keep the effort up.

or wanted us to win for that matter!

i think i would rather he got through on a last minute fitness test, because he looked very slow and under done on the weekend.

i would also be happy if Knights and Van Berlo played as i think they would both be under done also

I wouldn't be celebrating anything. As soon as we do that, we switch off mentally.

Go out there with our own agenda, & then beat whoever rolls up for the opposition.

Lance Franklin & a few others didn't play for the Thugs in Round 1, & look what happened....

If the players did that, I'd be mad at them. But what's the harm in me doing it? It's not as though my attitude will affect how the players play.

I have followed the Demons for too long. When the MFC are Favorites we seem to always lose & usually badly.

This is a Public Forum, who knows who reads these Rants??

Give the opposition nothing except directions back to the airport sunday night Chook!!

Sportsbet.

Head to Head

Demons - 2.60

Crows - 1.50

Seems to me that most people on this site seems to think we are favorites, it's pretty clear that we aren't and after coming off one great game doesn't mean that we should be favorites. Look at Essendon they had a good game against geelong except for the last quarter and then got thumped by freo.

IF the boys play well, they can beat anybody they have. It's more a matter of weather the dee's show up, our own worst enemy.

IF the boys play like they did vs collingwood, than it dosen't matter who they have. :)

Interesting Stat that FC bought up last night

Round 1 The Lowest Interchange Rotations

Round 2 The Highest Rotations

I think DB is onto something! B)

We're in danger of being 'hit on the rebound' just like we hit Collingwood.

Adelaide have a LOT to lose this week.

0-3 means major problems for any top-4 chances which Adelaide might still pretend to have.

Still, if we come in thinking 'we've got a chance to hunt this lot down', we might just do it.

Green being knocked out wouldve been a big part of that.

Does that make it fair to say an injury like his would've put us at a significant disadvantage against the hawks?

On triple M, I think it was Danny Frawley, before the cats game yesterday i heard say that a game-ending injury in the 1st quarter increases a team's chances of losing by 10%.

I think it is even more.

It has been a while since we have beaten the crows. Even with some poor form and Goodwin out I think we would still have to play some damn good footy to get over the line.

Could be an interesting game.

Posted

We ran Adelaide around in a practice game over there in a pretty feral environment. A little bit of inexperience and some poor umpiring cost us that game. It'll be different at the "G" with plenty of red and blue support and a team of youngsters that are beginning to believe.

Could be part of the answer, although he did come back on later.

I just found it amazing we went from one extreme to the other and the score lines were also so extreme.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
