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    That was the same meeting where the no bananas rule was repealed and the no live music rule was abandoned.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

    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: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
