  • I’m putting $1000 on Luke Jackson getting the NAB rising star this week.
  • Nicks has flagged we'll be younger this week. Let's see if selection backs him up.
  • Persisting with Gibbs is a complete waste. Trade him back to Carlton for peanuts.
  • We are in diabolical trouble. Game plan from St.Bernadettes year 3 marks up playbook.
  • I think a winless season and Nicks is shown the door IMO. We need a full clean out of coaches and Fagan needs to throw HUGE coin at a proper coaching setup.
  • It’s just hit me. The realisation that the best player at our club is a 35yo mother of two?
  • Invite Blight back to the club as a mentor for Nicks.
  • If anyone in the media, social media or anywhere else asks again why Gibbs can't get a game, please refer them to this week's performance.
  • Has Lever played in Adelaide against the Crows yet?
  • Last weeks embarrassment has finally made the club really go into rebuild mode.
  • Prediction : Tex to "run through" Jake Lever at some point.
  • Crows making EIGHT(!) changes. Two debutants.
  • Gerard and Robbo both very complimentary of the selections with saying that it’s clear the Crows are finally accepting of the rebuild and that Gibbs, Atkins and Knight would all be very worried about their futures.
  • If they actually won would there be enough players available to provide the gatorade shower?
  • Dees are ripe for the picking too.
  • Excellent, at least 3 of those players dropped should never ever play a game for the club again.

    I swear those are Demonland comments. I even think one of them is mine.

    Expected way more comments suggesting they can knock us off.  If I was an Adelaide supporter I'd be pretty confident about this one.

    It is funny because it is legitimately true. Erin Phillips would be the best in for them this week (probably for us too...)

    Their side looks pretty good on paper. However, no Sloane or Crouch will really hurt their midfield. It's ours to lose, I can't see it happening, I think they're on the tank also. Even if we win, I'm still going to be looking hard at the fundamentals and execution of our game plan and cohesion, lets see if Stubborn Simon gets the lads firing.

    Not only reached the milestone at 32, but also did them both at once.  Clearly has Phillips covered.

    Wow, I must be looking at a different side,.  I reckon it looks terrible.  Only their back line looks semi decent.

    Talia, Kelly, Laird, Doedee, B Smith, M Crouch, Seedsman, Lynch, Walker, Himmelberg, Mackay and Fogarty go OK, I'd have most of them in our side over many thats for sure. I think Jones will be a player in the future also.

    • Ricciuto . . . if you love the club like you say you do. Then go. Just go.
    • Special place in hell reserved for: ANB (he who shall not be named).
    • When Clayton Oliver is the difference, you know things are bad.
    • Walker is done, give him 200 and bye bye.
    • Luke Jackson is going to be elite. Very exciting talent.
    • We've stuffed up a couple of drafts and now we've also got the wrong coach.

    Someone at Crowland would have had some joy tonight watching Action Jackson play his way to a Nab gong.

    AFL will bail them out with some priority picks just like they did for Brisbane.

    they might need to

    crows remind me a lot of us circa 2007 - when the fall has come it has come hard 

  • Quote

    They have to be a good chance to go through the season without a win.

    The last time that happened was 1964......which by coincidence was the last time ... well you know the answer to that.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
