I don't understand the Kent Kingsley reference.  Anyone?

Probably the easiest way to understand it Fanatique is imagining how Adelaide supporters felt when Alex Neal-Bullen had 23 possessions, 6 marks, 6 tackles, 3 goals and 3 Brownlow votes against them in 2018.

    How about Tim Membrey, Mr 5 straight, v the Dees every game he plays

    Or Kennedy could do a Joe Daniher and kick 0.6.

    Just saying...

    That would be so good to see for once, as opposed to us blowing great chances against them!

    Of course bringing up Daniher I’ll never forget when he was missing stupid about of shots and then kicked something stupid like 7.1 against us!

    According to Simpson's post match interview Jack Darling will play round 1.

    That’s disappointing but you ain’t missing 8 weeks with a busted cheek bone.

    The consolation is he might be a little rusty which could work in our favour.

    Consolation?  Watch out. There are posters who would prefer him to be at the peak of his ability and doubly fired by having been injured.

    A tap on the rusty bit by one of our great '...interceptors...' might make all the difference in the game outcome. Mind you, the green snot goblins will award a free kick - so therefore, it will be a sacrificial one but should take him out of the game. We need absolute 'mongrel' in the 2020  season, no more Mr Niceguy this season.

    West coast have been very poor this pre season. 54 points against freo in perfect conditions isn’t good form. 
     

    I wouldn’t be surprised if the dees got up

    Unfortunately the eagles are 1 of only a few sides where pre season form I wouldn’t take much notice of, they are capable of flicking the switch come round 1, we will have to play out of our skins to beat them hopefully it’s not too hot

    Just need Oscar to accidently fall on top of him again

    We need Cameron or Greene from the Giants for that.

    Those Demonlanders who want a West Coast at nearly full strength look like getting their wish.

    Personally I hope it is not a very hot day over there.

    Really??? I guess when west coast beat geelong by 35 and freo by 50 points last year the results didn’t matter. 

    Since the pre season comp has been cut to 2 games, form has become a critical indicator on teams season performance. 

    something isn’t right with the eagles. They had a full strength side and only scored 50 points.

    Does anyone know if we sent any scouts across to watch the WC V Freo game?

    You've had a warmer summer back in Melbourne Red,

    The Eagles have had a bit if an interupted pre season.

    Iur boys look fit at the moment and I think the heat may help us

    In terms of preseason we've put ourselves in as good of a position to really challenge them as possible. I'm glad we've got this game round 1 in some respects. It's probably the most unpredictable round with teams still sorting game plans and personel. Plus the fatigue factor late in the game which we look to be in decent stead for. It will be hot and both teams will fatigue late so I think if one team has a 3-4 goal lead in the fourth qtr. it will be theirs to win you would think.

    I'm predicting a close one! (because why not?)

    I agree, my first thoughts when I saw it was that the AFL have stitched us up, but we’ve been sent there with 6 day turnarounds. At least this way we have time to prepare for it and finalists are traditionally a little bit sluggish early. 

    Scoreboard pressure early in the game massive for us though.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
