Danger game given they will come out firing at 0-3, copping it in the media and playing at home in prime time.

However we showed great resilience, discipline and character last week.

Ride the storm early and maintain our defensive set up and we should prevail in another tough one

Sometimes when Kozzy flies for a hanger, he's 1 v 2. At least on those occasions he prevents an easy opposition intercept mark.

I sincerely hope May isn't selected for this match. As a broken ribs victim I can assure fellow Demonlanders that you don't recover in a coupla weeks!! 

If Chin is still injured, perhaps it gives AMW a chance to debut?

I've been reading the Crows bigfooty posts. Wow!! They rate their team and coach very poorly. Looks like Tex is pretty much shot ... either injured (back?) or just past it. 

Not sure who comes in if Hore is injured. One thing for sure ... it won't be Tomlinson. We won't need another tall v Crows, and even if this were not the case, the FD seem to hate poor Tommo. 

 

Or gives away a free for unrealistic attempt

Its a shame that McAdam is underdone, as would have liked him in for Chandler (assuming he doesn't get up). May for Hore, if minimal risk of exacerbating the rib injury...

Reckon minimal change with Chandler getting up and May in for Hore.

Plus, while we need to respect the Crows, it feels there may be a bit of blood in the water around the Crows, and we should be aiming to hit them hard from the first and try to belt them for the full four quarters. JVR to fill his bucket.

Go Dees.

If we did decide to go the path of including Fullerton, who would make way for him?

I think they will probably stick with Jvr rucking. His tap work isn't the rest but he's ok at ground level follow up.

Deev, I think his strength and tapwork for an undersized ruck is really good. I also noticed a stat where his percentage of taps to advantage is slightly better than Max’s! So not too shabby.

Hard to believe that there are a few bloggers who think we have this game in bag. The Crows will be so fired up for us it ain’t funny. If we win this we are in great shape, but psychology this week is all in Adelaide’s favour, irregardless of how much better a side we are than them. 

Hopefully we rest a couple of those with knocks given it is just a five-day break.

Hard to see Chandler playing and even though I agree with those who say May shouldn’t play, I am sure Goody will rush him back.

Billings spot also in question.

Hopefully Kolt plays but I reckon they will bring in Laurie for Chandler, May for Hore and Woey for Billings with Kolt possibly the sub.

Billings was sensational vs Hawks and has credits. Laurie um no! Kolt, Mc Adams perhaps better suited!

How a fractured thumb keeps a player out for 3-4 weeks but breaking three ribs and a vertebrae is 1 week I'll never know.

Shows the importance of the thumb in handling the ball I suppose.

Disco only a week away helps with our flexibility down back.  

How good is to have someone like him to return!? 

I really hope he gets a solid, undisturbed run at it. With some injuries, there's a really good opportunity for him, he just needs some luck with injuries - can really cement a role for the year.

Heading to Bowral NSW tomorrow for a wedding.

Would anyone know any pubs / venues that broadcast AFL for Thurs night by any chance?

Interesting proposal to replace Hore who has sore ribs with May who has broken ribs

 

Edit - Just saw thumb report

Wouldn't a team at 0-1, 0-2 and on 0-4 come out firing? How many rounds in on '0 wins' does it become a non danger game and you can see a team for who they are, that is, just a bit off the pace overall for the leauge?

Or are they all danger games for the team that you support when they come up against that sort of team because, well you know... MFCSS?

What about the Gold Coast. do they ever cop it in the media, perhaps the Gold Coast Bulletin doesn't care to really report on them, thus doesn't influence the GC Suns performance?

So many questions 😃

Anyway, I'm being a little provocative. 

It's such a tight league due to the spread of athletes, that all opposition are respected..except maybe WCE...

Your last sentence feels about right though!!

So the list says 3-4 weeks, but Selwin Griffith in the actual update says hopefully it's just 2 games. Assume that is due to us having the bye after Brisbane?

It's a long  season so you have to invest your MFCSS wisely. Thursday is a regulation win. The Lions in the following match worry me a little more.

Could do without a new injury each week

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
