Opposition fans always say we are due for a loss.

I'm not saying that: It's to do with them beating Geelong and their recent improved form.  We're not 'due' for anything...

I thought we'd drop one of Sydney or Carlton, but am not worried about this week. If we keep doing what we've been doing, I think we'll win and win well.

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.

Yep its always hard work playing over there despite respective form.

The supporters are absolutely full on and umpires are often swayed.

It will be a tough game, no doubt about it but we are up to it and will get the job done. I hope Jack is back in.

They pumped Cats R1

That's true, but it was 8 weeks ago and if you watch it again you'll see that Geelong really didn't turn up.

Since then their only two wins have been vs Gold Coast and North Melbourne, and they took until the fourth quarter to shake both.

They also lost to Hawthorn, and wouldn't have been in that contest after quarter time if it wasn't for their ridiculously accurate goal kicking.

Every game is a danger game - we either play a good team, and they're a genuinely good chance to beat us, or we play a weak team, and we all freak out because of our latent MFCSS.

Let’s enjoy the wins and not panic about the next dog t*rd on the footpath we have to avoid.  We’re better than that Demonland (I think).

This is my philosophy in a nutshell. I'd go further though.

As supporters, we should be taking the lid off at every opportunity.

We support a team that hasn't looked like winning a premiership for 50-odd years. Who wants to spend an entire lifetime without once believing/acting as though your team is the best in the land?

We should all believe that we are currently unbeatable because it might end at some stage and that means your whole footy supporting life will include (a) worrying about losing and (b) losing.

Go Dees!

We should win but Adelaide at home is always a bit feral.

We'd be 50/50 against the Doggies, so potentially we could drop the next two if we don't keep the foot down. We don't need a tough match before the dogs either.

So yes it's a danger game. Would be good to jump out of the gates and hit the Chris Sullivan line by half time.

I like getting off the edge of the couch, sitting back, putting my feet up and laughing at crappy umpiring.

VKCrow isn't wrong. They don't seem to be "playing for draft picks", they are punching a bit above their weight already the Crows, and like Carlton, Gold Coast, Freo, they'll claim a few scalps this year as has already occured, albeit earlier in the year. They lack experience and polish around the ground but if they can straighten up and play direct they are dangerous. Fast and hard into Tex and even May can't stop him. He's a big boy. Make no mistake this will be won based on defensive accountability across the middle, which we've been superb at doing all year. But if the likes of Oliver, Trac, Brayshaw and Gawn drop off a bit in defensive accountability the Crows can still score quickly. Not a massive scoring team but if Tex kicks 4+ then it could be in danger of being our first loss.

The Dogs have silky class across the ground, and a lot of pace. At Marvel it's going to be our toughest assignment by a far margin. We can't go into the game with both Brown and Weed playing.

Yeah @praha, our forward line was interesting last weekend for sure. Pretty clunky.

Another reason to dominate against the Crows to see if those three can click into place or not.

I thought we got pretty lazy at times with our forward entries. A fair bit of the old "bomb it long" crept in again.

Yes, we have three tall forwards to mark it but that should mean we have to take extra care and lower our eyes.

I'm still on the fence and hope we get a bit more clarity this weekend.

It's going to be important for Chandler to find his feet quickly too.

Did you say Danger Game?? Ah I think not!

Key to this game is closing it off early and destroying any confidence they have in terms of ball movement from their backline with our forward half pressure.

Taking a healthy lead into half time will elevate the need in exhausting too much energy in catching up.

Expecting a Carlton like performance on Sunday composed, efficient and professional.

I would like to see us come out switched on and hard and get ahead early. AFAICR we haven't done it yet, with ruthlessness.

We don't lose often in Adelaide, even in 2017 we beat the crowds by 42 points, our record there since 2016 is more wins then loses

I think the opposite, stretch their defence, dry track just kick it long, people said brown is not good overhead, most of his marks against Sydney were over head marks.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.
