AFLW: Rd 06 vs Adelaide

in AFLW Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Getting in very early with the next round's edition (and apologies if this should be on the other board - over to you, @Demonland if so) but this in today's Age needed posting:

Adelaide midfielder Eloise Jones, prior to their game against GC on Sunday: 'Our home run is going to be really hard, we've got some really great teams coming up, [including] Brisbane, North Melbourne.'

Something being repressed there, Eloise?

    From Thursday, we may have that remarkable clean sheet. The ultimate 'nice headache for the selection committee to have' awaits!

    We definitely are permitted to bring chairs. That ridiculous no chairs rule was overturned.

    Huge game clearly. We need to win this to keep our chances of a Victorian grand final in our own hands. If Adelaide jumps us on the ladder, we no longer control our destiny. Not to say we can't win over there, but it would be nice for local fans to be able to attend (if/when we make it).

    I think this is important.

    It would be great to see a GF here.

    I think we would draw a big crowd if we made it through to a home GF.

    That was the same meeting where the no bananas rule was repealed and the no live music rule was abandoned.

    I'm riding hard on the 'undefeated record-breaking season' wagon, so for me every game is absolutely crucial!

    I'm hugely invested in it. Once I got a taste of the possibility, I've wanted it more and more every time I think about it.

    I missed out on last season’s grand final as I simply couldn’t afford to go. To see one live would be amazing. Ikon will be rocking!!! ❤️💙

    You may need to go into your account, click on ‘my attachments’ and delete pics that you’ve previously posted but no longer need, thereby restoring your pic allowance. 👍🏽

    How bloody good is this?! Only two names on the injury list and both those players are expected to be given the all clear. 🥳

    Going to be a great game. 2 best teams going head-to-head. Really looking forward to this one, particularly after the ****show over the last 48 hours.

    hopefully Paxy injury not serious.

    Paxy sustained an injury while at home playing with her dog. They’re saying it was an innocuous action and that it’s not too serious.

    I had the same issue but found a workaround that I've already forgotten! I probably do need to clear out my attachments as WCW suggested.

    And then a player gets injured (thankfully in a minor way) playing with their dog! Classic mystery injury of the week stuff!

     

    Some good ins. Campbell will be back as match-ups requite, I'd imagine. Fitzy gets a good opportunity. Hopefully Harris is fresh and ready.

    I just left banner making and geez, how refreshing it was to spend a few hours with other Dees fans without a single word uttered by anyone about the last 48 hours. We talked about this Saturday’s match and future W matches and pretty much all things AFLW. It was so good.

    A little background to the game...

    Melbourne's win-loss record against Adelaide: 5-4 (After 3 straight losses between the 2021 PF and the 2022A GF, Melbourne beat Adelaide twice in 2022B)
    Adelaide's 2023 formline: Adelaide come into Round 6 undefeated, having beaten the currently 5th, 7th, 9th, 14th and 18th-ranked teams (this compares to Melbourne's wins against 6th, 11th, 15th, 17th and 18th)

    Average games experience for the selected teams: Melbourne 42.3, Adelaide 35.8.
    Players with
    61+ games Melb: 5 Adel: 3
    41-60 Melb: 8 Adel: 3
    21-40 Melb: 6 Adel: 10
    1-20 Melb 2 Adel: 5

    At season mid-point, having a look at the individual stats leaderboards, Melbourne players aren't prominent but do dominate the avg. score involvements, with 6 of the top 10 being Demons: Hore (9.4), Hanks (7.2), Paxman (6.5), Purcell (6.0), Zanker (5.6) and Harris (5.5). Two Adelaide players feature, Hatchard in second place (7.2) and Marinoff (5.4) rounding out the top 10.

    We’ve played Adelaide at Casey on three occasions for two wins and one loss. After Saturday it’ll be 3-1. 😉

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
