Good to see everyone in the media is trying to fire up Walker to have a big game! [censored]

I was thinking the same thing. Bet you he smashes someone from the first bounce and plays a massive game.

Based on Smiley’s injury report:

In - Salem, JFK, Weideman

out- Spargo, C Wagner, T Smith

Meanwhile Adelaide probably get back Lynch, M Crouch, Gibbs, and a rejuvenated Jenkins in the one week - aces...

JFK probably still suffering some concussion issues from the head injury. Best to wait a week for him.

    Misson said JFK's bullet to the head 4 to 6 weeks'

    Lee Harvey Oswald, high impact with intent.

    A bit stiff. Video inclusive. I'm not convinced LHO actually did it.

    Heard a rumour the coach directed players to target JHK.

    This has been one of the more challenging weeks to pick the changes with all the almost, kind-of, not quite ready players returning/not returning from injury. I suppose with Lever and ANB both officially ruled out I guess that shortens the list a little

    Petty (form or knee inj take your pick) seems likely to go and one of Spargo/CWag. Then I suppose the next few on the list would be Garlett, Stretch and Lockhart (who also had his knee heavily strapped on Sunday). Hore hopefully gets up. I suspect he'll be picked but might be on late out watch.

    As for the ins, Salem and Hibbard are most likely ins. Not sure if JKH and Hannan both need another run at Casey. But if they're ready then they'll both be real chances too.

    Walker is and always has been an average footballer. I’d be more worried about Tom Lynch he is a gun!


    Seems like Hibberd and Salem are fit and ready to go.

    Does a Pruess/Weideman also come into consideration? I feel like we are at a point now where i think we need to start getting games into these two.

    Adelaide have a tall back line in Keath, Hartigan and Talia. I would try and go match for match and be accountable for Keath who has played as that 3rd tall intercept marking role.

     

    As much as I am not a fan of JKH I think he comes back after a good return game last week. He is a better option than C.Wagner.

    Weideman returns for T.Smith. 

    Petty looked sore last week so he makes way. 

    Lockhart also looked sore if not rested then Fritsch can go, had enough of him. 

    IN: JKH, Salem, Hibberd, Weideman

    OUT: C.Wagner, Petty, T.Smith, Lockhart/Fritsch 

    Can not wait till sub par VFL footballers are no longer making up the numbers.

    C.Wagner

    J. Wagner 

    Lockhart

    T.Smith

    Stretch

    Spargo

    Fritsch is borderline.

    There in lines one of the main problems at the moment.

    Talia will struggle on Preuss, he is too big for him.

    Don't know a lot about collar bone injuries but wondering how hampered Hibberd will be?

    Bit of a silly statement there. We overrate Pruess on here too much.

    Talia is a dual All Australian full back and the other is a VFL ruckman/forward. Talia has way enough experience playing on the monster forwards.

    Exactly.

    I wonder how Richmond or Collingwood would go if they had to replace their 6-7 injured players with the above lot. They are simply not good players at all.

    What's the bet Adelaide's ins are as follows:

    Tom Lynch, Matt Crouch, Jenkins, Gibbs,

    Four match winners.

    The last time we played Adelaide in Darwin (2017), Tom Lynch killed us. I recall he had some respiratory disease but he breathed back to life against us and had a night out.

    I actually thought this game was going to be in Alice like last time; at least we belted them there.

    This has my attention too. I've been hearing allot about this guy for the last 18 months but in the guys games at AFL level I haven't seen much to excite. Hore and Baker have both come in and shown enough to suggest they could become regulars. Pettys still young and I haven't given up on him, but he still looks a long way off AFL level.

     

    How many games has Petty played? Three? Yet you dills give up on him. What did Tom McD look like after 3?

    its the same really with Kielty. Has hardly played. You give guys like this a decent go before you write them off. Don't  You?

    J Wagner and Fritsch are decent AFL players. Fritsch is a genuine forward having to play back because of injuries

    I remember and was hoping Lynch would miss this game.

    According to Adelaide's Bigfooty board, Lynch and M Crouch trained really well today and will likely play - because of course it's 2019, and this year sucks!

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
