The Road to Adelaide Oval - Round 3

Featured Replies

I'm flying over for this one. Not confident at all, given we've now seen how poor Gold Coast after their thrashing at the hands of the Saints, and how woeful we were after quarter time last week.

Still,looking forward to seeing the Adelaide Oval, do they have Coopers on tap at the ground, or only stinking West End Bitter?

 

Gold! Do they all have memberships?

Gregory{always wears sunglasses}does have a membership.

Stevie{alcoholic}doesnt bother with a membership,but still follows the club.

Serina{santanned and wealthy}has a membership for herself and her pet dogs{x3}

Just a reminder Sammy,today is slapstick wednesday.

With the best ruckman going around, and in form, a midfield of hardworking ball magnets, and Tex on the end of it, Adelaide are going to rip us to pieces. I can see the media feeding frenzy in the aftermath. I've tried to imagine other possibilities, and they are so unlikely as to be laughworthy. It's going to be an ugly few weeks for this club, lucky we're used to it!

 

Odds mean jack. What odds were the Saints and Bombers paying last week? Close $11-$12 combined.

Yeah right. The fact that the shortest odds for the premiership are listed as Hawthorn, Sydney, Freo and Port means 'jack' when predicting what is going to happen in September.

It's a mathematical concept called PROBABILITY and ours is very low this weekend

Go ahead and make some multis that are paying '$11-$12 combined' and see how many of them pay off


Tommy Mac vs tex should be a fantastic contest

It will take the hiding of all hidings for the media to even raise an eyebrow.

In the coverage I saw this week, Melbourne's woeful second half hardly rated a mention. The only mentions I saw were from the perspective of the Giants' impressive display. The fact they did it against Melbourne was merely a footnote. The media have become as disengaged as a lot of the fans. Ineptness is expected.

The boys absolutely have to respond this week. It's at a point where I don't care if someone gets rubbed out. Statements need to be made.

 

We are going to win this. The boys have had a timely reminder about the effort required to win, they'll bring their best game, have confidence from rolling them over there last year, and Adelaide have started drinking their own bathwater. Vince to play 80% of the game after blowing the cobwebs out, and Jonesy back to his industrious best after his worst ever game last week.

Looking forward to singing along to "Grand Old Flag" at the end.

Someone on here said years ago that nothing is ever as good or as bad as it seems and I've come to believe it over time. I accept the possibility that we'll probably lose, but I never go in to a game expecting the absolute worst. I don't know how those that do cope for a whole season emotionally, personally.

That's a more eloquent, enlarged, and engorged version of 'relax, we've got this'...

really dislike the fact he is saying we played two good quarters last week. For starters, we didn't, but more importantly the game as a whole was such a disgrace the senior coach should not be shining any positive light on it all IMO

We were truly putrid for that first half where we ended up 27 points in front at half time. Absolutely no positives to be taken that at all.

Its about your favourite players DD. Any chance you could find one that actually plays for us??

You are the one that had a go at me for saying the GC game last year 'we were never in' after losing by 8 points...

We were leading by 27 points after your half of no positives...

It just didn't seem like something that you would write.

Relax. We've got this.

 

Won't happen. We'll have a real crack this week and get within at least 6 goals.

Just wondering why we didn't have a real crack last week?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
