    Walking around the mean streets of Adelaide I feel like I’ve seen a lot more Essendon paraphernalia wearing people than Dees. 

    Apparently it is given away in prison.

    Agree.

    One of the biggest myths in footy is wet weather is an equaliser.

    Teams with good skills, like we have shown this season, are advantaged in the wet over teams with poor skills because generally good skill is a function of good technique and good technique stands up better in wet condtions (and when windy too for that matter, not to mention pressure).

    I'd add we are a contested ball team, which is another advantage we bring into this match as wet weather usually means lots of ground balls.

    All that said, we could luck out and miss any heavy rain. radar look ok and the heavy rain and thunderstorms are not forecast to hit until the evening

    I reckon the wet weather being an equaliser thing is a throw back to the days when rain would make the ground muddy. Now it just makes the ground an ice rink.

    That's an excellent hypothesis- you are probably correct.

    That said I recall many dees losses in the 70s in super muddy conditions.

    Plenty of Dees scarves in evidence by the Torrens. Enjoyed a quick chat with Mitchell Starc and Alyssa Healy who were walking past on their way to Travis Head’s wedding! Good cricketer with a bad choice of footy teams - GWS FFS.

    It would be beyond our control if it's still raining cats and hounds and poor Ben Brown suffers a mild hammy strain during the warm-up and would need to be replaced in the starting 22.

    A sudden tummy upset would provide an improved opportunity for camouflage. We're playing the 'Drugs, so it might also be contagious. Slip JJ into the forward line...

    what time is our game please? I'm confused - is it 4.10 Adelaide time or Melbourne time?

    10 years ago, they're a little bit behind in Adelaide.

    PS. Spoiler alert, we won the 2023-24-25-25-27 premierships breaking the four in a row record.

    That would explain why Pat Cummins has been seen in Adelaide. Didn't think it was for the footy even though they did attend

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
