AFLW: QF vs Adelaide


Demonland

Recommended Posts

I know Richmond gave Brisbane their only loss for the season but the Lions should win the rematch by around 100pts if they're switched on. Tigers had a pretty easy draw that helped them finish with a double chance. Anyone outside the top three this year really are making up the numbers.

Casey renovations apparently. Dressing rooms being demolished and rebuilt I think

The renovations were scheduled for now before season 7 was announced.

I'm not sure that Adeliade are a chance this year. They have a pretty blunt attack now that Erin Phillips has left. She's a big loss

North are the 4th best team and could create problems for us. We just managed to beat them during the H&A with poor kicking almost costing us that game. They had a tough fixture hence why they finished 8th

I'd be surprised if the granny isn't between us and the Lions. Both teams have been super impressive and very consistent. Neither looked like losing in the run-in.

Same, BDA. But I don’t worry about the Lions like I did about the Crows last season. I really believe we can beat anyone.

Going to miss this one (always knew I should have got the Saturday night tickets for Colin Hay instead of the Friday), will have a late night watching the replay.

I do love going out to see a band and then hunkering down at midnight to watch a delayed match. Sounds like a great night

Any time, anywhere. We have been a far better side than Adelaide this year, and should win reasonably comfortably if we take our chances. Poor goalkicking is the number one threat to us winning a premiership this year, but playing away from Casey Fields show help our efficiency.

Girls have great balance this year and should be too good for the Crows this time.

...at a happy hunting ground:

"The match will be the second time the Dees have played at IKON Park this season, defeating Carlton by 42 points in Round 5".

Not happy. We should be playing at casey but it is not to be. You can bet Adelaide will be happy about the fixture. And to think that the two maggots of the comp in the filth and Geelong have their home ground to play on disgusts me.😒

I reckon North have also improved and built a lot of form since we played them as well...

 

Have my tickets, and hope lots of Dees fans go along. Not our home ground, but let's make it one!

So does anyone want to offer an opinion on the Tigers? It’s easy to see them getting walked over by Brisbane next week but they have beaten them this year (we haven’t) and they also forced North to a draw who had everything to play for. Tigers also apparently have some handy players to come in.

We have continued to improve each week & we’re a well balanced even team who doesn’t rely on 3 or 4 superstars to win it for us. We’re a vastly different side to the one who played Bris and  Nth earlier in the year . Playing away from Casey will help our goal kicking  as well

I hope so too, DiO .

Unfortunately a member of the Demon Army who was at Saturday’s match tested positive for covid this morning. Because our QF is on Friday she won’t be able to attend. Hoping no one else comes up positive. 🤞🏼

Is that a DA protocol, WCW? Cos the public protocol is isolate just while symptomatic, and she might be 'right' by Friday?

As to infecting others on Saturday, no self-respecting virus could successfully navigate between 2 people in Casey's microclimate!

The 5-day isolation period isn’t mandatory but is recommended. She is symptomatic, so is erring on the side of caution.

Most of us have already had covid but that doesn’t mean we can’t get it again. We’ll all be testing daily and hoping no one else has it. 🤞🏼

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
