A Danger Game

Adelaide will be a difficult beast to tame. Home ground, a new-found modus operandi. They went West last week and didn't lose by much. The lads need to be on top of their game for this.

    It feels like the stakes are higher and higher each week too, seeing as we're yet to drop one!

    We'll lose a game at some stage. But not this weekend. We'll put the squeeze on the Crows and come away with a 5 goal win

    Are used to absolutely dreading it when we were playing a low team and I would read on the MFC website: “we won’t take them lightly says Jones”. We were guaranteed to lose.

    I think they are different now. Goodwin says: we expect every team to bring their best. There seems to be no assumption that low teams are easybeats. So I am very hopeful.

    It’s easy to find at least a couple of reasons we might loose with any game, so unless every game is a danger game then I couldn’t disagree more strongly. The reasons we should win this far outweigh the reasons we loose, crows are in the bottom 4 and we are undefeated for a reason.

    I thought Carlton would be because they score well but Adelaide is a terrible defensive team and also doesn't score all that heavily. I'm trusting our team more and more, we're going to have to have breakdowns in all areas of the game to drop a game like this.

    Every week someone posts that this week is a real danger game since round 1

    No....im not going to get stressed at all about this game. When we drop a game i will worry then. Until then...this is absolutely brilliant.

    Smash them like guitars !

    The sooner we all realise we're a good team the better. We'll lose games - that's inevitable but to live week to week with 'danger game this' and the other negativity must be so taxing. We're 9 and 0. Enjoy it

    We could be 19-0 playing a 16 man North Melbourne and I guarantee someone would say "This is a danger game."

    The crows have been impressive considering.

    They have Talia, Lynch, Crouch, Murphy, Milera all out

    But, they have lost the last 5 and are gonna have a tough few months.  We should win by 5 goals if we play well/ok

    we could win by 12 goals if we click

    Danger left Adelaide a few years back....

    Along the same lines dee-tox, I was secretly hoping to open this thread and find some footage of Bernie Vince performing submissive tactics on Danger at the Adelaide oval circa. 2014??

    We have been a bit off since the Richmond game. I’m not sure whether this is on purpose but it may explain the slow starts. Our game appears to respond to the oppositions intensity and we eventually break them down. 
     

     I think we will look similar against the Crows (slow start then overcome them by 5-6 goals) but hope that we are switched on from the first bounce against the Dogs and Lions.

    Spot on. Take on every team expecting them to play their best. This is our first proper away game with hostile fans at the teams actual home ground, Tex has been in good form (though faded recently), and they have the youthful enthusiasm that if they get going can get the fans up and about.

    They score through Tex.  May will thrash him.  They have few other avenues to score.  Teams with struggling defences might be pushed by them.  When they score under 40 points for the whole game due to the dee squeeze, it will be how far.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
