A Danger Game

Featured Replies

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

If we if we kick more than 70 points, we win this in  a canter

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.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
