For a team sitting top of the ladder I don't have alot of confidence in our ruck stocks.

Weid gets his final chance. I hope he takes it.

Not that I’m excited or anything but…this is my FIRST EVER interstate match!!!  🥳

Look out Adelaide, there’ll be a coven of footy mums behind the goals and make no mistake… we’re NOT to be taken lightly!

GO THE MIGHTY DEES!

    Well, I am off to bed. Been a big day of celebration over my way with a birthday in the family. 
     

    will be watching over breakfast and a coffee.

    I have confidence in our systems and structures.

    The only thing that concerns me is the inside info Burgess has on our player stengths/weakeness, game structures etc. 

    Crows will be all out to get a fast start.  We will need to be alert early for new tactics, after all they surprised us with a winning game plan last year, without Burgess. 

    If we can get the fast start, kick straight and take the crowd noise out we will be well on our way.

    Had hoped this would be a % booster and we win by the 6-8 goals.  Now thinking a win of 3-4 goals, even without a recognised ruckman.  A game to bank the 4 points and move on.

    The pressure’s right back on today in the absence of our two ruckmen. 

    Our list management and recruiters have done a solid job in recent years but it was obvious at draft time last year that there was potential for today’s scenario. Apart from Max and Dogga, all we had was 195cm Majak Daw in the twilight of his career and the likes of TMac, Weed, the Browns and maybe Tomlinson who are makeshift at best. They  sidestepped the issue at the National Draft and didn’t address it at Midseason Draft time so let’s hope that it doesn’t blow up in our face today.

    WCW ... hope you have an enjoyable day at the footy.

    Where is everyone else going to watch the match? If anywhere. I'm going to the Sporting Globe in Richmond.

    Yep! Especially when any of the boys are unduly disparaged. 😉

    JK, of course.
    But M Brown, the walking vomit emoji (on DL, anyways), is one such player.  Shazza Neal-Bullen is very fond of “Mitchy.” Join the dots. 😁

    Went to many interstate games most even but

     

    that was some time ago, prior 1974.   The trips home in the bus were “interesting “ 

    a lot of youthful emotions etc

     

    mum was never there. Or dad !

    I’m waiting to board and there’s a group of sadsack Carlton supporters. I thought, look at those poor chumps, dejectedly going home to Sadelaide having attended last night’s match. But now I just hope that’s not me tomorrow. 😬

    Hypothetical

    You're in hospital likely to be discharged today after spending the day in ED yesterday with a cardiac 'issue'.

    Assuming discharge goes ahead, would you:

    - watch the Dees game live on the TV

    - only watch after knowing the result?

    We're much better than the Crows with or without a recognised ruck man.

    There'll be no boil-over this year. Dees by 39 points

    I wouldn’t waste any time Luci, I’d send Harmes straight to Burgo.

    We’ve had great ruckmen for the last, what 30 years?, and we have been pretty [censored] in all that time - only last year did we win the premiership. I’d suggest that  ruckmen are simply show bag fillers, and we can still win this easily  even without our 2 best big men - because we have strength all over the ground and a midfield that don’t need silver service to perform.  Go Dees

    (please don’t tell Max and LJ I called them show bag fillers).

    We should still be fresh and after last year surely wont take them lightly. Big job for Weid to halve the ruck contests and our mids to shift to sharking their taps. Looking forward to seeing another week of ANB, Spargo, Koz and TBed swarm the forward pressure.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
