Winning two games in Adelaide in 5 days will be an enormous fillip to our season.

The Crows will be trying to regain some pride and credibility in front of their home crowd, so expect early fireworks.

But..... after a tight first half we will  stone the Crows by 3 or 4 goals!

Expect a breakout night from Kozzie.

    I’m not too sure about tonight… 5 day break, being in a mini hub for the week, I’m worried about May, Crows backs to the wall. 
    Winning tonight will be huge for us. But if we are a bit flat and get rolled I think I’ll understand why

    Lots to think about tonight,

    5 day break,  crows need a win, Goody back in his hometown, might he want to go back at some stage. I think they will under estimate Windsor and he will have a blinder! MrMay is he right, 

    will we be flat ? Hope not and think not. Our work rate is better this year. But if we bleed the first three goals again I might hide under the pillow.

    start well and put them away. Kick straight 

    go Dee’s

    Mentioned in another thread that a South Australian played a very central role in the development of penicillin. The dual flush toilet also emerged from South Australia. Would be poetic if we could send the two local teams' seasons down the drain in the space of one week.

    The Port win was huge. We showed a steely resolve not seen since 21. I've been buzzing since Sat night. that win has given me great belief about our chances this year.

    i expect a tough battle. Crows have no choice other than full throttle effort. the locals will drive them out of town otherwise. but they have been genuinely putrid so far this season. there whole game style has collapsed. Walker is not right, Thilthorpe out. They can't kick goals.

    We'll batten down the hatches and weather the early storm. 

    Maxy and our mids will wrestle control and set us on our way. Fritschy BB and JVR with a couple will kick the goals for us.

    Dees by 25 points.

    Professional unit to deliver a professional game. Its either a grind to the end where I expect our class to shine above (See port game) or they roll over and dees by 40+ w/ 3 Kozzie goals.

    The murder of Crows will be slaughtered. 

    By the end of the night we will just hear Caw, Caw, Caaaaaaaaaawww.

    Crows will crack in, desperate times in front of ~40k+ desperados but our class will see us home. 

    Go Dees!

    Since round 0 our games have been professional,  disciplined and clinical. 

    We have a new belief in the way we are playing and have stuck to our task. The camaraderie that was missing in 22,23 is back along with care for our teamates.

    They are driven to go 2-0 in Adelaide and will turn it on tonight

    Dees by 32 pts Kozzie to kick 5 in his home town

    Should win, would be disappointed if we don’t. Short break isn’t ideal but it’s the price we pay for popularity that they put us on in prime time instead of hiding us away on the 4:35 Sunday slot like they used to. 

    ANB about to get the hardest tag of his life tonight after all the media attention this week. Should be able to burn them off by 3QT with his hard running.

    Reckon we'll win, but it'll be one of those games where we'll be stressing out until the last 10 minutes

    Kozzys is due to kick a bag sooner or later.

    I do hope it's tonight.

    Jvr to do some damage too.

    Crows to get caught who to stop the most...Petty or Bbb.

    I do not like the Adelaide Crows.

    It isn't so much that I hate them or that they have a high priority in my thoughts. I just don't like them.

    Losing to them would feel like watching a slack colleague get an efficiency award for finally doing the basic thing they've been putting off for six months which caused you a whole lot of extra trouble.

    I dislike them on the level of a debate about who is supposed to order printer ink.

    Let's just get it done so we don't have to think about them again until next year.

    It's Gather round .

    A showcase of all things SA.

    That includes their beloved clubs.

    I hope the umps behave well.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
