The Tab spuiker mentioned two very big bets on the wireless.

Happy days for that guy but money can't buy the difference this will make to us.

I am stoked for us all .

I'm speechless. this will give our boys so much confidence for the future that they can start believing in their ability to strangle the opposition and win ugly. Who cares how we win? I'll take anything.

Soooo good.

Me too Reverand a win is a win is a win

Not a bloody honourable loss

A bloody great big win.

What happened with Wattsy's back?

Sando just had a slip up in his pressor saying "we will work the pretty boys pretty, we will work the boys pretty hard during the break"

LOVE it

Of course in the first half they were out worked. But Adelaide's bigger problem is talent. They have a few neat footballers but besides Dangerfield, Talia and Sloane who are the legitimate good footballers at that club? Brodie Smith if he could hit a target. And Big Tex of course. But besides that they are very meh

Remember that ridiculous promise to turn us into the hardest team to play against?

It's starting to happen...

Not only are we conceding considerably fewer points, but we're controlling the tempo of the game for longer periods, blocking up stoppages and holding our opponents at half back by strangling their options further upfield.

What happened with Wattsy's back?

Not sure. Looked like a spasm chasing a guy just changed direction then couldn't go at all. Came back and did a couple of ok things but was much better before the injury. Frawley was carrying something as well.

So rapt up in the win that I almost forgot the umpires!

Just pathetic.

Are they so incompetent that they need a crowd of +20,000 screaming in order for them to pick up on free kick. (they almost need to umpire with ear plugs)

If we were Collingwood Maguire would be absolutely fuming and calling for an enquiry into the umpiring in interstate games.

That free that resulted in the Crows goaling and cutting the lead to 15 was a complete momentum changer (think it was Terlich who was tackled and they said he had prior opportunity).

Last week we saw players getting pinned with no prior and yet Adelaide players got away with that today - if they are going to make stupid rule changes then be consistent.

oh and the 'not 15m' calls where disgraceful! just because we kick sideways/backwards does not mean 25m<15m.

Hit the Single Malt OD

Get Hammered!!!

Our first win in South Australia after 13 years and 17 straight losses, many of which were in excess of 50 points. The Crows of 2014 may not be world-beaters but for me this is a landmark achievement that will do wonders for the confidence of the team (especially the older ones).

The boy cleaned up again!

Fiddy @ 8.50.

Having one right now wyl.

GD sitting from 6 am tomorrow mate so need to keep it nice.

However they seldom taste this nice.

Jamar early , Viney wow . Dawes hard . Pederson . Jkh . And my boy Wattsy is learning . Everyone and well done . Roos sensational . I said we would win . Crows are poor on paper imo and we have been building . Roos is the man from a player management angle and game plan / match day .

Condescending commentry on fox / lack of knowledge and at first look the umpiring .3 free kicks end to end . Seriously .

Party time .

Whats wrong with Frawley?

Posted

Negatives I guess

- Potential injuries to Jones, Frawley, Georgiou, Jetta (?cramp) and Viney might be penalised for playing football the way it should be played.

What did you watch it absolutely fair bump


Posted

A toast to Jonesy as well. For whatever reason he just couldn't get his hands on it, so he responds by laying the most tackles on the ground and kicking a crucial goal.

Posted

Yep, he knows.....just as he clicked submit, it shaved off a buck.

He couldn't care less.

He can get a set of tyres for his car now.

Posted

Terlich is very very important for us. Dare I say, our hardest player.

So Demonland posters what about Terlich still worried about his Kicking Some here have no idea

Posted

I didn't have access to the telecast, but I don't think I have ever refreshed the superfooty page as much as I did tonight in the last qtr! Great win for the boys. Is great to see that when n jones is down that we now have others who can pick it up and do what he so often does. GO DEES!

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
