VDB fractured eye socket apparently.

Bloody he'll, he probably did that in the first quarter with a head clash. Tough as.

Probably the most frustrating and aggravating 50 point win I've ever watched. Adelaide are a truly horrible football team right now, they just cannot kick a score. Main Dees takeaways for me:

-Steven May another fantastic game. Made Tex look like a local reserves player.

-Clayton Oliver escaping the packs and thinking a little more with the ball was fantastic.

-Brayshaw should only ever play on ball. This makes it hard to balance the midfield but that's what the coaches are paid the big bucks for.

-Jackson was clearly worrying ROB with his jumping ability. Good positioning up forward too.

-Neither Bennell or ANB impacted up forward. Small forward positions are still well up for grabs.


Gawn was injured he has a Lat\shoulder problem. I think he should be rested this week.

Here is how bad Tex is right now - I'd rather Tommy Mac than him.

He is a squib of the highest order.

Anyone notice the way Jackson does those cute over the shoulder handballs into space? Whens the last time you've seen a ruckman look so fluid and mobile the way he does. 

No wonder why we rated him so highly. He's an extra midfielder everytime we play him in the ruck. Will be elite, watch this space. 

 

Three quarters of puss and a last quarter of sexy time.

Certainly wasn’t a great team effort but some great individual games. Oliver incredible. Viney all heart. May was solid all game and just as importantly gives us grunt.

Brayshaw finally showing a few signs that he can get back something resembling form.

Jackson yet again played a smart game down forward. Those having a crack at him aren’t paying attention. Competing strongly in the air and playing a selfless game for the other forwards.

The skills are still a huge issue, but by the end of the game it was a 50 point win. It took a massive detour but it was job done.


Gawn just said on fox he has an injured shoulder near the top of his left shoulder but can play through it. 
 

Would rest him to be safe. 

tells us nothing really but we were good in patches. we are better than we were last week, but not as good as the scoreline suggests tonight. Wins over Roos and Pies and I'll eat humble pie. Until then all we did tonight was bully a poor team. 

Tomlinson back was fantastic. Clearly he hadn't played there much but hes a big body and can kick. His run was great as well. I'd love to see Goody persevere with him there. So much better than Oscar. And could play on tall or smalls

Hey Jaded, you asked about Clarry's hair. 

The problem with that is that Salem gave Clarry his haircut. 

Salem should stick to his day job. A hairdresser he ain't !!!!

Oliver when kicking the ball is a far better player.

When kicking like tonight.

Disagree. His foot skills are a liability

A little sad to Max say he might not play next week. If he needs a break, give it to him though. 
 

ANB will be suspended, but Lockhart should be ok. 
 

Vanders is injured again? Max mentioned a broken arm of some sort? He looked proppy to me.

No way. Goldstein will tear us apart on a game we have to win

A lot of players have left Adelaide on questionable terms over the past few years...

Speaks volumes that he's still there and rolling out that [censored]

Should have rested him for this game.

Now he's playing injured on a 4 day break against Goldstein in a harder to win game.

This was one of those captain's calls that can backfire.

A strong finish made it a convincing win.

Some of the worst umpiring I have ever seen.

A real coming of age game from Jackson and a gutsy effort from a clearly unfit Max. Let's take the 4 points and see where can go from here.

PS the fox commentary was equally as bad as the umpiring 

PPS Clayton Oliver FMD !!!!

The umps clearly got on the Crows at $3 just like I did. That umpiring was worse than anything I've seen in WA over the years, land of the home cooked umpiring.

I reckon Weid is coming on really well. Pretty unconvincing win for me even for 50 pts - it was really just the last quarter the first 3 quarters were pretty rubbish except for Viney and Oliver.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
