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    That was the same meeting where the no bananas rule was repealed and the no live music rule was abandoned.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

    • 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?

      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.
