    Fantastic 3rd game this year, though I would have preferred flying over to the G  and see it with 70 000+ fellow Dees supporters . Let’s see how many we can find in Adelaide.

    I’m so jealous of our SA demon fans. Get along and cheer hard. Let’s outnumber the Brisbane fans!

    Really looking forward to this.

    So dissapointed for our Victorian supporters.  My heart goes out to you all.  

    Rest assured, those of us who can go, we will give it a 4 quarter effort!

    My reading suggests yes, if not located in greater Brisbane area.  Unfortunately no if in greater Brisbane area, as not allowed to attend any event with more than 1000 people.

    Any Adelaide Demonlanders willing to adopt me? I'm mostly house trained.

    We have room in our household mate, can you smuggle over?

    The Crows match today had 15 000, though this will probably be increased for the Port match on Friday night 25 000- 30 000. The other matches I’ve attended had 30 000, the authorities like that figure.

    What sort of crowd are we expecting?

    7,500 - 10,000??

    I would expect a much better crowd than the last time we played a non SA team at Adelaide Oval. A whopping 2172 against North Melbourne round 11 last year. We can do far better than that on Saturday night.

    There have been various tactics used this year in an attempt to negate the influence of Lever and May, but I thought early on against Brisbane that Fagan's was the best - with Brisbane's attacking thrusts going to around the 60m mark initially and then a quick chip in. We overran them (and it's great that we have another opponent that we have successfully fought back against before), but it was effective and I wonder if they will attempt it again. The interesting factor - I had forgotten that that game was played at the SCG. Brisbane is the team I fear the most in this year's finals, particularly in a qualifying fixture. 

    It was at GWS home ground not the scg

    Someone pinch me! This surely is a cruel dream? 😮

    If you told me at the start of the year we would finish top and be playing a Qualifying Final at Radelaide Oval my response would've been "[censored] off!"

    Tas-SA is low risk, and there’s direct flights from Hobart to Adelaide. If we’re still in Adelaide for prelims, I might pop over for that.

    Dunno about anyone else, but I’m happy it’s at AO. We play well there, it’s only a hop, skip and a jump away in terms of travel for the players, and it’s really inconvenient for Brisbane. Hopefully we’ve got a few SA based supporters who can get along and turn it in to our new fortress.

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
