Slight injury, possibly groin, hopefully precautionary.

Hopefully not a case of precautionary 2 weeks that turns into 6 like Viney ?

    Haha, that too, obviously ?

    I was meaning (if it wasn't clear) the guy who does the loud "wo-hoo" after the crowd has quietened down a bit after a goal. You can often hear it on the TV broadcast for our games at AO

    Yeah that's what I was talking about as well haha

    Backline would need a huge adjustment without Salem. Creates so much and consistently hits those targets.

    A lot less confident now without Salem. Especially if we don’t win the clearances again. So much of our offensive play comes thru Salem.

    Salem out is a big big loss, fortunately playing the Crows it shouldnt hurt too much but hopefully he's right for next week

    Re Adelaide players who targetted Max. That filth McHenry copped an absolute belting last week during the showdown. Karma?

    I'm watching today's match at the Sporting Globe in Richmond.

    As per every other match this season, hope the Dees just get the job done.

    Shame about Salem. Who will be the main distributor on the backline? Maybe Rivers?

    [censored] huge loss is Salem. Hoping it's just being precautionary.

    You would hope so given they gave him until today to prove his fitness. But you never know these days. Groin injuries are never simple.

    I would have loved to have given Lockhart the opportunity. 

    I love Jetta, but his lack of pace really exposes us down back with his lack of run as well.

    Nice, might head down. Hopefully another free keg at the end!

    I agree but Lockhart is just back from injury and Jetta has credits in the bank and he deserves a go. I think he will play a shut down role and we will release Rivers to play a more attacking role. 
     

    We obviously knew Salem was in doubt so I’m sure they have a plan.

    I’m very envious of all the ‘landers that have made it over the border today to watch the boys live. Perfect autumnal weather today for 10 in a Row. I’ll have to make do with watching us on the big screen at The Rose. First though it’s time for some coffee and the chilli scrambled at Bentwood on Napier St. 

    Enjoy your day everyone and I’ll catch you on the post match thread all being well. 

    Admittedly more than slightly envious of your plans for game day Rab. Here we have the Hole in the Wall takeaway for exorbitantly priced greasy fried rice washed down with a king’s ransom sugar rush coke.

    Internet went down for 24 hours last week just before the first bounce ? today.

    Must say prefer the cozy ambience of the ?. Big Plus, the company is not Neanderthal!

    Yep that's the problem.

    Hopefully Bowey and Deakyn Smith keep improving and are viable options next year.

    2 of the last 3 Adelaide games they have failed to kick 40 points.

    Against our defence I suspect this won't change today

    Not sure why people think we will lose this.

    The scooters around town are brilliant too… Adelaide is great!! 

    Would those be orange coloured? No problem on the road but if allowed on footpath ? path. Awaiting litigation. Big kids who use best read the fine print.


    Just said on Fox footy Salem is out. Dam that hurts because he uses the ball so well 

    May should go to Walker & hopefully contains him. I hope weid can step up and kick a few & Melksham does something.

    Let's also win the centre clearances

    I hope we get off to a good start & don't let Adelaide in it.

    Unfortunately, Deakyn Smith is out of Casey’s game for tomorrow against Sydney. I’m heading “mystery injury of the week”.

    You might have to explain what deliverance was about to the younger members Hardtack

    Hey, that’s what Google is for! ?

    Salem is pivotal to our ball movement out of the back half. Garry Lyon said that to stop Melbourne you need to clamp down on Salem. Will be interesting to see what impact it has today.

    I guess that says a lot about where we are. His absence makes me intrigued rather than nervous.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
