Which Melbourne will turn up in Adelaide this afternoon?

The one that played in Round 1 or the one that half played in Round 2?

The one that played in the first half last week or the one that spectated in the second half?

Good question. If it's the round one team I reckon we'll lose by 4 goals (or if Adelaide are well off their game we might get closer)

If the round two team turn up. Well... 80 point + thrashing

Another Saturday morning and I am optomistic as always. I am looking forward to that crucial moment, and we all know the scenario. Melbourne gets away to a good competitive start and them slowly but surely the opposition puts us to the test. I will be watching more closely than ever who rises to the challenge and who has been beaten to submission one too many times. Go Dees.

Im feeling very victorious today.

Dee's by 17 points.

Adelaide are going alright but they are hardly unbeatable. Cut their cheap kicks where they set up play from the back half, tag smith with Kent if he plays, try to cut Sloane out around stoppages (in my opinion more damaging than paddy) and pressure the ball carrier through the midfield so tex doesn't get it lace out. I like our chances more at adelaide oval since it's not as wide, we get cut up from teams in the corridor because we defend too wide. This enables us to narrow our zone slightly. If nev and Tommy can keep Betts and walker quiet, and paddy doesn't go bonkers, we could be a sniff. Providing the team answers to last week's capitulation- a trait we haven't seen for years now.

Not wasting another beautiful Perth 27c and sunny day watching the game. I'll record it and will watch it later at night, that way I don't feel so bad having a bottle red or two drowning the pain.

Who will be at the game?

There's a difference between optimistic and stupid... We are no chance, back to the old days where you go into a game knowing we are no chance of winning, and the best thing to hope is we are in the game at qrt time and take that as a win

I usually defer to Garry Lyon when I do my football tips.

In Round 1, he picked the Suns to win. He got it wrong.

In Round 2, he picked the Dees to win. He got it wrong.

In Round 3, he picked the Crows to win. I am hoping for a hat trick from him.

Call me stupid as I am really looking forward to this game. It will be a good indication of where we are at and I am expecting a tough 4 quarter game. I am expecting to lose however it will be closer than many think. Hogan, Watts and Vanders to have standout games.

Last year we got smashed by GWS. The next week we lost to Port by 3 points. Is it stupid to think the same thing will happen?

definitely a two bottle match methinks. Will Jones play? Possibly 3.

I also have a hunch that it will be closer than what people think, however, ignoring the experts, I think that we will bring home the bacon in a repeat of last year.

Actually was Geelong who flogged us the week prior so that gives your point more credit... But Port were in a form slump then and adelaide are red hot atm.. Only chance we have is adelaide turning up complacent

I was feeling more than slightly morbid about our chances until I read this thread, but the optimism shining through in some of the posts has lifted my spirits to some extent. What a wonderful place this is ...........sometimes!

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    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

    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
