Despite the fact that Adelaide defeated Freo last week (albeit at home and off a longer break) - who'd you rather have as coach rock-hard Ross "Anyone, anytime, anywhere" or soft sausage Sando who says the Hawks will have to not be at their best for Adelaide to have any chance on Saturday? Hard to see the Crows having any chance against the hardened Hawks after that inspiring prognosis. A 10 goal margin will hardly be surprising.

    And yet Freo are out of it, and the Crows play for a spot in a grand final this week?

    I'm sure he would be saying something else behind closed doors.

    its mind games, telling the hawk players they wont have to try hard to beat the crows and maybe catch them unawares. but he wold know they have overachieved this year as a team to make the prelim.

    behind closed doors it would be all positive.

    Probably a poor choice of words and not what supporters want to hear

    Imagine the reaction on Demonland if Neeld said something like that.

    Imagine the reaction on Demonland if Neeld got us to a prelim...

    What you call soft sausage, I call mind tricks. If Adelaide lose by anything under 76 points tomorrow, they will have performed majestically. Why not throw some mental trickery out there? It probably has about a 1% chance of having any impact, but that's the same chance the Crows have of actually winning anyway.

    Some punter has place $20K on the crows at around $6....

    I think the line is around 37.5 points. I'll be taking some of that.

    Dean Bailey was interviewed on the news and I felt sick when I heard the shite spewing from his mouth.

    Apparently Sando is a Jedi. Who knew?

    The force is strong in him.

    Bloody good game. Maybe the 4 quick early 3rd Q goals will be THE difference.

    He certainly has put together a determined team - 2 gutsy strong power forwards sure helps.

    Was fiercely critical on 'ology of Bailey when he made some not too dissimilar comments - talking about how difficult it is to win on the road before an interstate trip and was very much in the minority!

    what did he say?

    what did he say?

    Something about...'all the pressure's on them'

    'We can only concentrate on what we need to do...'

    Just rubbish.

    This man set this club back 10 years....what a disgrace he is.

    I hope everyone got on. Easy money.

    Just got back from the game...its amazing what you can do with a team when they dont have to spend their time with Charlie Walsh or play like robots..

    Crows just kept at it and nearly stole it.

    How pleased they must be to be rid of Neil Craig and into the new decade.

    Talk about ill-informed. Following the same logic, Adelaide should have gone backwards because they signed up Dean Bailey.

    "No one picked us; no one thought we would get this far, let alone to that point in the game. But we had strong belief within our group. We had strong belief we could win today, and to get so close — there is so much pain in that change room now.

    "Everyone wrote us off. That is fine, because Hawthorn should be the favourites, but the underdog? Sometimes you never know.

    "I did use that (as motivation). I would be lying if I said I didn’t. We were told a lot this year that we were not ready, not good enough.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
