Adelaide have Darren Burgess written all over them. 
Running at full pace in the last quarter. 

I mean we've done that every game this year barring the Port game.

    They are the real deal the Crows. Again it's the depth of midfield that does it. Gees I'd love Dawson cruising past Oliver and Petracca!

    Adelaide Crows played in Adelaide not the Gabba. We play at the Gabba  and thats fine with me..  Lions were the bunny.

    Its called corporate AFL.

    Crows were hot favourite in 2017 GF. How did that go on neutral ground? Dustin says HI!  One player.

    If the GF is played in Adelaide you can chalk them in 50/ 50.

    It wont happen.

    Adelaide are 5-2 at home and 1-3 on the road, the sole win vs Hawthorn. 

    Fortune in their draw to get both Brisbane and Collingwood at home, and obviously don’t have the away factor vs Port. We get both Brisbane and Port away. Just a bit of bad luck on that front. 

    Also note they have had fewer road trips this year than we have.

    Crows are more than a handful at home. I think we got lucky to be playing them at the G this year.

    They're away form is very patchy. They were bog ordinary against the doggies last week.

    Slightly off-topic, but well worth a mention! Overnight saw my team Everton def. Bournemouth 1-0 to narrowly avoid relegation from the English  premier league. What then is the Everton / Melbourne connection? On May 16, 1964 my father took me to see Everton (then a top Div 1 team)  play Australia. In spite of Everton smashing Australia 8-2 Everton, Everton became my team from then on. If my father wasn't so anti-Australian rules l might have been taken to junction oval (the previous Saturday) to see my first VFL game v Saints. Despite winning the flag that year Melbourne were soundly beaten by a rising St Kilda. Crowd comparisons were interesting: the Melbourne game drew 35,000 whilst the international at Olympic park drew 32,500. 

    PS We walloped then in the August re-match, 8.7 to 5.7, but the crowd - at the MCG - was only 33,000.

    Masters of the great escape.

    Yeah I see the comparisons, also always thought West Ham was similar.

    It only takes the flimsiest pretext to follow a team when you are a kid. Ie Getting taken to an International v seeing Ron Barassi on TV  shows.

    I hear ya, my best friend at Kinder who I never see anymore was a Dees fan so there you go!

    Did Everton play a warm up game against South Melbourne at Lakeside on that tour? My dad seemed to think so but he isn't the biggest Soccer fan so I don't trust his memory that much!

    And West Coast. Don't forget West Coast. They are not beating anyone.

     

    Adelaide are quite a young side still. They are therefore up and down and have real inconsistencies in their game. Even last night when Brisbane were coming hard in the last, they looked a little nervous. But they have a really good list and some absolute A grade ball users. I would not be shocked if they push for top 4 next year. I reckon they're a good chance to make finals this year too.

    crom effectively have 13 out of 24 games in front of their manic fanbase for the next few years

    it's not a bad situation to be in

    And I bet every single one of them will have more success at the tribunal than Melbourne has.

    And who do we play next? Bet Cerra is the only one to get off.

    Spent my childhood watching Robbie Flower at the G, was never going to barrack for anyone else! Wow, could he play footy, never seen another like him. Time, grace, skills, could mark beautifully and almost untackleable.

    • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
