GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Adelaide

I've always been reluctant to travel interstate to watch matches ... the thought of flying back after a drubbing, or even a loss, isn't particularly appealing. 

The only interstate match I went to was v Swans, about 5 years ago. In an upset, the Demons won at the SCG!! I was visiting my thirdborn (who lived/lives there) and shouted my secondborn a trip there. Very enjoyable long weekend !!!

    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?

    Watch it live!  If we lose It will be less of a shock than learning it after the event. 

    Live will be a slow build up to the result!  🙄

    Wishing you a speedy return to good health.

    Nah love going to interstate games. Different venue, make a weekend of it - catch up will people you haven't seen in years, and when (used to be 'if') the Dee's win - it just adds to 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!

    ❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙

    I‘ll be there in support WCW.  It will be my first visit to the new Adelaide Oval, and I’ve driven 1200 kms, across three States, to get here.  Looking forward to yelling my lungs out for our Mighty Dees, and clearing the immediate area of Crows fans by 3/4 time. 😇.

    Celebration planned in the Barossa tomorrow.

    Herald Chun(der) feed announces Robbie Williams as part of Grand Final 'entertainment' this morning. We'd much rather have the ghost of the great Don Williams personally grace the 'G at half-time.

    Speaking of Weed "pound for pound" would rather our #26 than the blues #1 in the faux-ruck. If a soufflé can rise twice, thrice, multiple times, Sam can do it. Careful observation by astute footy watchers has revealed despite the online 'fugazi', Weed did contribute manfully last round by playing a serviceable team orientated game.

    Rupert shell-shocked apparently has Roxy Music 'Siren' on high rotation this weekend.

    Your poor old Uncle Bitter is  taking a well earned break from Manorial responsibilities and enjoying a balmy 28 degrees in downtown Bangkok.

    However, I shall be watching the mighty Dees thrash the Crows this afternoon.

    No ruck?  No worries! Our mids will create plenty of opportunities and ,if our defence is as miserly as last game, the Crows will be lucky to get 50 points. I'm tipping May to play a cracker. I'm very confident.

    I am meeting that Demonland luminary ( and Bangkok tour guide) SWYL at a sports Bar of his recommendation to enjoy the game. SWYL assures me that the establishment has a very welcoming atmosphere and is located in the Toorak of Bangkok. Nana , I believe, is the name of the suburb.

    For all you first timers enjoy the game today fellow Dees and enjoy the most picturesque Oval in the world.

    I have a few crows supporters to catch up with and to remind them once again we are the reigning premiers and top of the pops.

    I will be in full flight today watching our boys do a number on the Crows.

    Lets just hope it's a different result to last year when we ventured over there.

    I'm a tad nervous about our ruck combo but confident we'll get the job done.

    We just have to win today

    What happens in Bangkok stays in Bangkok, Uncle. Just be careful about what goes where.

    One of those ??? games. Irrelevant if we win. Disastrous if we lose.

    My concern with the makeshift ruck division is its impact on our ability to score. Other than the Brisbane game it has been our glaring weakness.

    Fritsch kicking 6 before half time would be good.

    Perty is holding court here at The Lion hotel in North Adelaide for anyone that wants to quiz him on Dogga’s contract.

    Ive lived in Bangkok for many years. Nana(plaza) is a grimey concrete rabbit warren laced with gogo bars and beer bars off Sukhumvit rd soi 4.

    Toorak- it is definitely not..LOL.

    Advice...if you go to Nana ,Soi Cowboy or Pattaya be careful what you wish for. Not much good comes out of the Land of Smiles.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
