I'm most concerned about Windsor and JvR.

I think Salem actually had a good block of form but dropped away the last couple of weeks.

    2nd and 3rd year blues respectively.

    They will get back to their best and we know they can play.

    It’s JVR’s fourth year in the system, surely we can’t just put basic dropped chest marks down to ‘3rd year blues’

    It’s clearly a loss of confidence.

    A player doesn’t just lose his talent.

    Excluding first year players who are those that have improved this year?

    Turner, Langdon, Bowey, Pickett and maybe Chandler

    That is on each and every player that calls themselves a professional. McDonald has been great but is out of the team presumably because he is seen as not being long term

    Look at Neale, Bont, Pendlebury and Sidebottom. Absolute pros.

    Our leaders (Max excluded) are bordering on fraudulent. And maybe worse is that they are all bad in the same area - disposals and ball use.

    You can see the club has tried to improve players with ball use including with Lindsay and Langford but it doesn't help players being played out of position like Windsor - who is clearly not a backman. Or Petty who is not a forward.

    What has happened to Rivers, Fritsch, Petty, Lever, May, Salem, Van Rooyen, Viney, Sparrow, Tholstrup?

    That's why we are in a hole. And the coaching staff IMO are mostly responsible but at some point the players need to take stock in their own performances. 2 years of crud

    • AFLW REPORT: Adelaide

      Last week’s bitter disappointment turned into player-led resolve as Captain Kate Hore marched her team onto a pristine Princes Park under perfect skies.
      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

    • 2026 AFL Fixture

      The Demons 2026 AFL Fixture is as good as can be expected considering their performances and finishes the past two seasons. Sunday games and late afternoon starts are on the menu with only 1 Friday night fixture until Round 15. They will travel 8 times including their home game in the Alice, their Gather Round game as well as a match against the Hawks in Tasmania. They will face, the Bombers, Bulldogs, the Suns, the Tigers, the Hawks and the Dockers twice.
