    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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.
