Can you imagine playing a home grand final against Port in Adelaide. FMD. 

It’s a sick joke if you ask me.

A potential 17-4-1  season and we don’t host a game at our beloved MCG throughout the finals, and then face Port at AO in the grand final for a cherry on the sundae.

Bring it on

Would rather see us win the flag in front of 50k feral Port supporters than in front of 60k west aussies out for a day on the grog.

Put it this way. What would you prefer. Fly into Adelaide morning of the game and sit in the cricket pithces and dream of being Dennis Lillee or have to fly into perth and put up with several days of hotel quaranting in mcgowanville ? Dennis Lillee thankyou very much.

I saw that Tom Browne segment at half time. /

He was asked, "Do you think Adelaide have a case to host the grand final or would Perth still be in pole position despite the easier travel to Adelaide and the presence of Port as a contender?"

I swear that man is some kind of malfunctioning android. There should be a twitter account dedicated to determining if the passes the Turing Test.

He asked Luke Beverage the first question of the presser via Zoom, Beverage wasn’t impressed with the question and responded with a question back to Tom.

Tom was nowhere to be heard and clearly skirted the question.

I guess it’s how interstate teams feel having to play a Grand Final at the MCG.

If the GF is played in Adelaide so be it. Port are very beatable. They would have to deal with the pressure of expectation in front of their own fans and the home crowd energy can work against them as well. Go behind and the anxiety from the crowd can inhibit their performance

Perhaps we could crowdfund a plan to get as many Crows supporters as possible into the game for free. They hate Port and would cheer us on I’m sure.

Plus, we are a better team anyways. And Georgiadis is out (I feel for the kid, very good young player)

Strong umpires essential though. Can’t be having any hometown favouritism ruining the game

Btw some examples of home teams losing major soccer finals

And I don't care what anyone says, Port  are the worst 2nd place team in many seasons. 

And last night 1 goal in a half against one of the poorer defences.   

Cats (although without Stewart is a complication), Lions and Dees will deal with them.

Absolutely they will. My son and i went to the Dees vs Port game in Adelaide in 1998. Dees won kicking  13 goals to 7 after 1/4 time and putting us into the 8 in Danihers first season.

My son wore his Dees jumper at the airport going home that afternoon and was asked by multiple Adelaide residents who won and were rapt when he told them the Dees had.

Adelaide truly hate Port. It will be a help for us in this scenario. 

Probaly even be happy for ex- favourite son Jake Lever.

What rpfc would do - if we win - take the Lions down to Tassie for a packed house that would have more Dees and old Lions fans.

If we lose, we are off to Adelaide for the right to play a Prelim probably in Adelaide…

Who’s to say it will even be this year? We might give it everything we’ve got but Bontempelli or Hawkins or even bloody Charlie Dixon gets a hold of us in a prelim.

There’s still some brilliant teams in contention, we don’t have the finals experience of others and we might not quite be the final product yet.

A premier has to get it perfect for 3 games in the September pressure cooker. Time will tell if that’s us.

And that’s the hardest part, the alternative scenario. This situation would have been hard enough without all the extra stuff. It’s just so much to digest.

I love the idea of playing in Tassie. I just worry that the ground conditions there are not ideal.

I won’t be surprised to see Sydney or GWS paying in a prelim.

How much would they have to pay?🙂

I think both 1 v 4 and 2 v 3 will be played in Adelaide next week and maybe even a 3rd game.

If Melbourne and Geelong win next week I reckon both will go straight to WA to quarantine for prelims.  The other teams will either stay in Adelaide or head to Brisbane and quarantine for the semi finals and prelims If they win.

Geelong won't recover from that lose. absolute confidence crusher. I predict a straight sets exit

Doggies form has deserted them. I reckon they'll lose their elim final

GWS or Sydney to win through to a prelim with the Lions

No bye a huge advantage for us and Port. And Port with home advantage a great chance to make the GF. We'll win through as well

Port and Dees GF i reckon

Sydney worry me the most. They will challenge us the most with their contested footy. They have a lot of talent across the board. Very good ruckman. Excellent mids. Buddy. The coach I rate the most in the AFL (except Clarko). 
They are the one side I really don’t want to meet in finals.

    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. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
