    Pickett is underdone. He will be good in patches, but i have low expectations for now.

    Good to see him back.

    I went to the SCG last year when we were 0-3. Pickett played a blinder and we won. Hopefully he can turn it around for us again this year.

    He might actually be able to get a touch in the forward line where Davey can't.

    But one of our biggest problems has been lack of hard defensive running by our half-forwards, mids and half-backs after our too frequent turn-overs.

    I'm not holding my breath that Pickett will help in this area.

    He is definatly an asset and will improve our game this week! And seeing how HF was very average last week he would be very good!

    Always nice to welcome back an 'A Grader'.

    Not expecting too much, but I gurantee Davey will stand a lot taller this week and finally open up his goal kicking account for 2007.

    Quite appalling that our opportunist goal sneak has been held goal-less in 3 rounds.

    One area he will help is winning contested ball at HF.

    While we are winning the clearances, when Junior wins 8 of them, a low % are effective and most go to a contest.

    There are 3 outcomes - we win the contest, a stoppage (i.e. another chance for a clearance) or we lose the contest.

    I think we have been losing more than our fair share of these contests at HF (that's probably what Godfrey has been in the forward line to correct)

    When we lose the contest, we lose possession and then our opponents have had a million options running off our poor defensive effort.

    Pickett will help us win more contests or at least force a stoppage, therefore lessening the occasions requiring hard defensive running.

    As I said above though I don't expect him to help the defensive running much.

    I would pay big money to see him run through Josh Carr (is he suspensed). If Josh is playing and Byron cleans him up (fairly of course) it will be worth my membership for the year even if we don't win another game!

    • AFLW REPORT: Adelaide

      Last week’s bitter disappointment turned into player-led resolve as Captain Kate Hore marched her team onto a pristine Princes Park under perfect skies.
      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

      The Demons 2026 AFL Fixture is as good as can be expected considering their performances and finishes the past two seasons.

They will travel 8 times including their home game in the Alice, their Gather Round game as well as a match against the Hawks in Tasmania. They will face, the Bombers, Bulldogs, the Suns, the Tigers, the Hawks and the Dockers twice.
