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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
