We did it last season, we can do it again

Yes Adelaide are in red hot form, but if we can get back to choking teams like we were able to do first half of last year we are going to be in most games now we have a bit more firepower and goal kicking ability.

Just the game for us to win.

Crows are fat headed at the minute,and PR has plenty of ammo to load at the players.

Also not changing the team to much ,has given us a settled team thats will to learn together and overcome the bad bits.

Chances are good,spring in step and ready for a good weekend.

McDonald should go to Walker, but with Walker's size I wouldn't be surprised if Frost gets a turn.

If Frost were to play back I feel as though he would be better suited to Jenkins.

Tex likes it on the lead and, with the form he is in, McDonald gets first crack.

This looms as a massive game for us, I reckon the crows are still smarting from us getting the 4pts on them last year so I'm expecting them to come out very hard against us. We may have to revert to a bit more defence to stay in the game and hope that our improved ball movers can get their hands on it for Hoges and Dawes.

I don't see many changes to last week but I'm sure there are a couple on notice. We need Dawes to be what we was the last we were there.

defensive style is definitely the only way to stay in the game & maybe pinch it, but thats not what Roos is working on at the moment & he has not been selecting a team capable of that, would need 4 of 5 changes to the team, we will see Thursday if he goes that way, if he doesn't we'll be beaten by 100+

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
