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

Thanks for reminding me. We have done well there but not so much prior to 2017.

This team is playing better than that one so while Im confident I still thinks it a tough game.

One its Adelaide not Tasmania ...big crowd.

Two..we are being hunted now especially by lower clubs that desperately need a scalp.

I hate crows crowds.

    I think Viney loves to play in Adelaide - agreed - return of a native son and all? Has he played well there recently?

    Unless the boys decide to completely phone it in and go away from everything that's got us to this point so far, we're not losing against the Crows

    Put time into Tex, Laird and Keays 

    I can't see them kicking a high score. 

    Since Goody mentioned how we want to wrestle the game out until we have control, it's given me even more belief 

    Should win by 3+ goals at least. 

    Don't care how we do it, just want to get the W

    I envisage a 10 min bonanza like we had against North and Hawthorn but hopefully earlier in the game. This mob have lost their last 5. Wouldn't mind the boys getting a bit of bloodlust up and really belting them.

    Adelaide have won 10 qtrs of football this year and lost 25 (1 draw)

    They haven't won a 3rd qtr all year

    Last 5 games they have lost averaging 64.8 pts. Avg losing margin 5 goals

    Opposition in the last 5 games have averaged 97 pts

     

    We've got this

    You ever sat at a Port home game? Crows supporters, in contrast, are the model of civility. Most of them voted for Don Dunstan back in the day. And apart from Don's Safari suits, (thankfully a long-forgotten fashion statement), they still retain some degree of reasonable behaviour.

    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.

    Give them some credit, I’m sick of most our supporters not believing and saying every game a danger game

    Get on board & give them some credit for playing some fantastic football

    No I must say Ive never had the pleasure.

    Ive heard that most of them are out on day release.

    So I guess I should be more generous to the crows mob. Nah I cant. Perpetual booers. Drives me bonkers when they boo every shot on goal. I know its not cricket but sheesh.

    I remember those safari suits. My dad wore one for several years(i think it was the same one)

    In my role as family clown I wouud quip as he walked out the front door..

    "Dad be careful its a jungle out there"

    He never appreciated it.

    Can you imagine this being posted on “what they’re saying at Goschs Paddock/Casey Fields/insert other place “ on other forums -  most other fans wouldn’t be able to understand such ripping repartee like this and the Dunstan bit above. Too much humour, intelligence and correct grammar. It’d be lost on most.

    Danger game? 

    I don't see it. We have them covered in all areas of the ground and so far this season all I have seen from our team is one that is able to respond and work out a way to win. 

    Simple structures, setting up well behind the ball and players taking on the proper responsibilities.

    Nah, not a danger game.

    I'm on board. Just noting Adelaide might be more difficult than we expect.

    Nice angle, D17, but I have to step in: not enough Ls and Ms for Christian but there is sufficient for a Gawn to drop back into the hole...

    ...Which leaves E-NOISE, by the way. The fugazi on here that this is a danger game?....

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
