    Interestingly, we’re seeing a bit of a discrepancy in the Demonland votes and the social media votes.

    I doubt we will in this one though.  Robbo was a very good player and a fan favourite, but Neitz is an MFC great.

    Robbo spent as much effort spoiling Neeta as winning the ball himself. Think of how many times he joined the marking contest and made it harder for Neeta. Neeta would have kicked many more goals if not harassed by Robbo (where were the coaches?).

    Neeta's record is unsurpassed at our club.

    Neitz for me.

    This one hurts.  I love Robbo.  He was one of my favorite players in his day and I have so much respect for the work he put in improving his game and leading the attack in some pretty lean times.  Sadly though those figures up at the top of the page speak for themselves.  There's no category Robbo excelled in the Neitz doesn't top him except for mark of the year nominations.

    • AFLW REPORT: Adelaide

      Last week’s bitter disappointment turned into player-led resolve as Captain Kate Hore marched her team onto a pristine Princes Park under perfect skies.
      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
