Good luck Jacko, Rivo and Benno!!

Dees by 20 pts relax we got this.

Oh and Hunt to play dangerous forward crumber!

 

I expect the guys to be a bit rusty, and somewhat scrappy with "connection". I'll be OK with this if we give a 4 quarter effort.

The amount of games I've been to where it appears we put the cue in the rack after getting out to a three goal lead early in the game.....

Do it for Nev. And me.  

Just saw the pre game Zoom with Mahoney. Sounds like Hunt will be spending more time up forward for speed around the contest. Has a point bit to prove, would love to see him snag a couple.

    An unintended consequence of no AFL for the 1st part of the year was the rest of the family's disinterest in it becoming vocal. AFL in the past had always been unspoken priority, but Id lost my privileges. By yesterday i could sense a gritty losing battle.

    Enter a 70" Ultra HD 4K TV for the man cave. My barely used BetEasy account with $2 left (thanks Demons) has led to Kayo being added as a free App for 3 months. Just finished setup connecting with the LAN. Me and my new scarf are chafing at the bit. C'mon Demons!

    I had a crumpet for the first time in probably thirty years. Hoping it's not a omentaphor for our defensive structure.

    As he should. 
    We lack goal kicking avenues up forward and Hunt proved himself to be a handy goal kicker for a lot of last year. Anyone remember the winning goal he kicked last year in the same game from outside 50?

    Its forward or bust for Hunt IMO.

    This sounds like a silly question to ask, but are all games at Marvel with the roof closed through this covid period rail, hail or shine?

    Correct... The open roof plays havoc with the TV coverage

    Terrible stadium but we're stuck with it

    I heard a few weeks ago that the roof will be closed for most if not all games at Marvel.

    Expecting it to be closed today.

    How long does it take for the roof to close?

    They’re using a hand-crank to save money so 17 days.

    Make of this what you will. One night on the drink my friends and I had the idea of a prank for morning radio. One of the guys was a Commercial real estate agent. We planned to have a for sale sign made up and have it placed in front of AFL park Waverly. Only the guy did not make up the sign, instead being a sharp agent he pitched the idea to Jeff kennett who was figuring out planning for the docklands. [censored] of with the guy for not doing the prank and maybe having a small hand in us playing at Marvel today.

    at this point it wouldn’t even shock me if goody put jackson in the backline after training as a forward/ruck. I’d expect nothing less from Melbourne

    Wait where has this stuff about Jackson playing in defense come from? We are crying out for quality tall forwards and avenues to goal. Why would you take a talented young tall who has trained ruck and forward and then stick him in the backline?! What a stupid decision that would be. Very Melbourne!

    Neogilistic portmanteau fail. I may be a bit excitable at the moment.

    • 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.
