GAMEDAY: QF vs Sydney

Hibberd potentially missing or underdone is a worry, as he's the perfect matchup for Papley. We'll win the midfield battle and our tall defenders should stop their tall forwards, Papley and Heeney are the dangers and potential match winners for them.

That said, I believe we'll win tonight in a tight game. Excited to see Gawn, Petracca and Oliver step up for another finals series. We're watching a truly special group of players at the moment!

    Where from? Reliable source or twitter fodder?

    Huge if true!

    One of the most moving clips you would ever see - and he's real! Hallowed performances. If he brings that kind of workmanship to the game tonight, look out Swans! As good as Robbi's contributions.

    Hibbo will front - can you imagine how he will feel if he misses and opportunity to smash Papley?

    This would explain why Callum Sinclair and Hayden McLean are named emergencies. 

    The thought of going into the game with 1 ruckman would certainly concern them.

    Missing would be a problem, but missing what was essentially, by all reports, a fairly light training session, is hardly going to see a fully developed veteran player underdone. A 24hr gastro bug is not going to drain him to any great extent.

    If both teams play at their very very best Melbourne win. I believe we are primed to do just that today. 

    Spot on Mr Steve. Said before the last game our best is better than all other sides . Was at the Gabba and if we play like that we will win convincingly.

    24hr gastro bug is certainly not ideal preparation.

    “Excited” is not really the word I’d choose to use at said prospect. There’s no shortage of words I would use, but yeah nah, “excited” isn’t one of them.

    I'm a humble man JCB!

    I don't want to appear pretentious to those less cashed up than my good self.

    ( BTW the dog ute is a 2022 model)

    • 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. Sunday games and late afternoon starts are on the menu with only 1 Friday night fixture until Round 15. 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.
