GAMEDAY: Rd 03 vs Port Adelaide

[Demonland 72,576]

It's Game Day and the Demons begin their 2 week adventure in South Australia tonight when they face the Power from Port at the Adelaide Oval. Both teams will be keen to stamp their early credentials for September in this Top 4 clash on the big stage.

I’d be happy to leave with the four points, not wet to the bone and not crying and not copping abuse from the feral Port fans. Not a big ask. 🤷‍♀️

GO THE MIGHTY DEMONS!!!!

❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙

[Bitter but optimistic 22,243]

We've won two against no one special .

Today ( and next week )will give us a real clue as to where we stand this season.

Are we any good?  [censored] yes we are !

Dees by 27 ! This will include a blinder from Jack Viney and four goals from Kozzie.

 

The Manorial staff all have rather fetching red and blue Bunny outfits for tonight's celebratory after party.

Does anyone know our recent record without May in the side?  I have a mate who always tells me "No May no Melbourne" and has loaded up on Port.  I want to know if there's any truth to it.

What’s tonight’s banner like WCW, I don’t hear you ask. 😁

Sneak peek but don’t tell anyone…

JACK VINEY

200 GAMES

SIMPLY UNSTOPPABLE

 

Now if you’ll excuse me, those coffees and Red Bulls ain’t gonna drink themselves…

YEAH THE DEES!

Us by a goal after the siren, kicked by Chinny Chin Chandler!

I’ve never been to a Power game at Adelaide oval but have a couple of mates who reckon their supporters at home games are the worst in the league. Are there any worse you’ve encountered WCW?

Kozzie loves playing in Adelaide

Viney bog

[layzie 33,923]

In Torquay but will hopefully be back in Melb for the start and a good TV screen. Go Dees.

We've banked a couple of regulation wins against ordinary sides which has built confidence and momentum. Port are a step up and will provide a proper examination.

Curtailing butters and rozee is half the battle. Can't give them the freedom of Adelaide Oval this year. If we do we'll pay.

Viney is a champion. He'll put in a big shift on his 200th. Max trac clarry to the fore also. win the midfield battle and limit the amount of ball into our Mayless defence should be the go.

I'm confident as always. 

Dees by 20 points

[640MD 3,403]

VINEY.    Win it well for Jack  200 what a champion. !!

I believe it's something like 4 - 7 or roughly 37% of games

Same or very similar when both Lever & May are out

When he's in, no surprise it's a big turnaround but i can't recall the exact number that was put up.  If my memory serves me correct it was somewhere between 70% - 80% but don't hold me to it.

We need to start looking for a serious replacement pronto.

I'd be taking a good look at Sam Collins from the Suns if we can prise him out (signed to 2025) but he's not a young fella either so still need a medium term replacement. 

Adams was recruited as such so fingers crossed there and hopefully he will come on in the next few seasons at Casey.

Torquay might be a bit  backward.  But surely they have good TV reception  no need to drive to town to see the Dee’s

Without May:

2021 - we beat Hawthorn and Adelaide both at the G but they were bottom 6 sides.

2022 - Lost to Sydney and Collingwood both at the G who were top shelf sides that year.

2023 - beat Dogs at the MCG but lost to Brisbane at the GABBA in the first two rounds.

It’s arguably not good.

Nervous and excited about this game 

Port are better than Hawks and dogs.

A real challenge game on an away ground.

We are good enough but will we?

Yes we bloody will.

Dees by 23.

In a word… NO.

Sure, Collingwood and Carlton and Essendon supporters are bad, but that’s in Melbourne which makes a huge difference. Port supporters are next level feral when you’re on their turf.They have zero qualms about letting you know how [censored] they think your team is… loudly.

LOL… was just chatting to a Dees supporter who was on my flight. As we parted ways he said, “I’ll see you in the trenches.” 😑

Just popping in to say I hate that essendon apologist chip le grand.

Go dees

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,708]

Kozzie deep forward when not played through the middle please Goody.

[Fat Tony 5,262]

I’m confident we will get an especially brutal performance tonight from the Demons!

[Deeoldfart 8,060]

It’s quite a big ask, but we’re up for the task …… for Jack!
