GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs Adelaide

The crows always take 2 m over the mark with no consequence, we consistently hang 5-10m back from the mark.

 

11 rounds in  and it has finally clicked.  But still a half to go.

Get the job done  vs Crows and  then get back possibly all of Lever , May and Salem for QB.  Finals will be in our sights.

Effort in the last third of that quarter was brilliant. Everyone cracked in hard. Few skill errors/decisions and we could be another three goals up.

 

Just slow cooked and ate the most amazing lamb shanks whilst watching the footy. 

At last our football is looking as tasty as those shanks. 

Let’s keep it up boys!

    Rough as guts but he's competing hard

    First game back in how long? He has some upside. 


    Forward line looks Dangerously dangerous for the first time in a while.

    Jeffy and Weed doing great.

    I thinks sometimes it’s just finding that perfect balance.

    A good quarter. Oliver and Gawn just smashing it. Hannan does look a tad rusty but that's to be expected first game back. 

    Them losing Sloane helps. Memo to the ch7 camera man. Keep it on the footy. Christ nearly missed Jeffy's goal when Petracca passed it over because we had to see Pyke in the coaches box. 

    anyway lets keep it going melbourne. So far so good. 

    Crows have applied basically no pressure so far. Our midfield is dominating.

    Game would be over if Tom Lynch wasn’t playing. He’s been there only really good player. 

    Sloane out is big - need to take advantage of this and put it beyond doubt this 3rd qtr.

    A lot of players that were copping early flak from you lot, have done some redeemable things. All except one. Are we watching Omac’s last game tonight?

    This year, shank has had a completely different meaning for us. Thanks for reclaiming it for a much greater purpose.

    Yep, been better than the likes of Spargo, Stretch and Hannan.

    I was thinking Stretch was playing a role in defence and on the wing rather well. But there you go.

    how is weid doing great

     

    Hot Slippery conditions is going to really stretch the fitness of the group later in the night. They’re down Sloane, which is a lucky break fr us. Go dees. Let’s bring this one home and light up a bit of hope fr the season! 

    Looks like the Viney of Old so far.

    Marking, tackling and kicked a goal.

    This is exactly the style of play that got us into finals last year and boy when it clicks like it has so far then we look bloody impressive.

    JKH with 12 disposals and really cracking in. Not bad for a bloke in his 2nd game from missing 8 weeks of footy.

    Nathan Jones down back for me is a big win so far. Bilky Stretch also doing well down there also.

    Jeffy back to his brilliant Jeffy best

    I [censored] love Frosty

    For arguably the first time this season bar the odd five minute patch.

    No I am not.

    He always make a good contest and puts in good second efforts.Sometimes it not just kicks and marks.

    He came in last minute and is putting in a good show, even Darcy has been giving him a rap.

     

    Jones looking good at half back apart from that Galluci moment where he just pointed instead of going to defend him himself.

    Are you being serious?

    Just a coup,e of minutes ago i i heard the ABC radio commentators giving him a big wrap. Yuo know, paid objective observers 

    Doing his job. Again. Laid a couple of crunching tackles late in the lst quarter too which should satisy his critiics who think he is not aggressive enough

    Watch with your eyes not your confirmation bias.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?
