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!

    this season is - the filth aside and the bears at home - crazy even 

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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.
