I'll kick it off from the match preview on Big Footy:

Getting this game called off due to Covid and labelled a draw may be our best chance at not losing...

PS Not many posts on Big Footy at present. Does anyone know of other forums?

    I didn't realise we had a 4-1 win/loss record against the Crows at the Adelaide oval. That's excellent. Granted the venue hasn't been around for long but i doubt we have anything close to that kind of record at any other away ground.

    Thank you for that. It’s actually an amusing read. ?

    I'd love to turn Optus into a fortress. Make the Eagles our biatches.

    Crows supporters don't have forums. They are passive and dull minded and don't know any more than to listen to 5AA for all their (extremely limited) football needs.

    Actually pretty funny. one of my adelaide mates said they are a chance because "we are due for a loss" and "the crowd really gets behind the crows at home games" I think he's got to come up with better reasons than that.

    I have a crows supporting mate who's giving them no chance and thinks it could be a blood bath. i hope he's right.

     We were horrific at AAMi park.  Used to lose there by 10 goals a game to both Port and the Crows. It was a graveyard for us even when we were going ok.

    Thank god they moved to Adelaide oval.

    We ended with a 5-24 record at AAMI and didn't win there after the famous 2001 win.

    We're now 6-4 at Adelaide Oval (albeit one of those wins was vs North last year).

    Yeah, but so do ours. "Whoo Hoo!"

    Edit: Points to the posters who actually get this.

    A sense of humor goes a long way to getting thru those long lonely years supporting a rubbish team. I approve.

    I went to the 2017 Game in Adelaide. When we turned a 30 point deficit into a 40 point win.

    That then was when I realized Petracca was going to be a weapon. 

    Also an Adelaide member told me we were "B Grade" & that they should "kick us out of the league".

    I've said before on here but the crows mate I'm heading over to watch the game with this weekend, he takes great joy in tuning into 5aa when Port looses to hear "the bloody Port Paaawwaa ferals teeing off on each other'... Gees it makes me laugh when I think of him doing that.

    Crows will continue to fall away but their supporters should be hopeful.  At round 4 they were 3-1 in 5th position.  They have plenty to work with.

    We will blow them off the park though.

    Not so sure on para 1. Their wins have been less than spectacular, (discounting the Cats upset in Rd 1) and lossess against even hawks and kangas.  Tomorrow will be a defining game for them list-wise in some ways.

    I reckon your 'e spot on though in prediction

    We're slow starters, so if they do get s jump on us and the crowd gets pumped up, they could have a 4-5 goal lead if we're off the ball. It would only take another burst of momentum in 3rd and then they defend out of their skins and we lose this one. First quarter is key.

    None of our matches against lowly Vic clubs have been the oft repeated danger game, but I do feel an interstate side on their patch is one.

    Me too Doug, took the family for a weekend away. Loved the ground, esp. the walk over the bridge across the Torrens at dusk.

    Also loved yelling out "how good was that" to Clarry's goal from the top of the (very quiet) grandstand.

    yeah they arent world beaters and the 3-1  start was an abberation but they're not a basket case is all I am saying!  Remember last season they were odds on to go winless before they finally broke through.

    I would take the Crows list over the Pies or Roos.

    that thread is very light on. They don't have too much to say for themselves those crows fans.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
