Adelaide coaching department did their homework, and credit to them for it. Manning up on Lever stopped his intercept game, and with May getting an absolute bath from Tex, we simply couldn't stop them scoring. Hunt a headless chook contributed to the defensive mess, and omg what has happened to the spatial and situational awareness of half our team? (Hunt and Gawn the worst offenders) Again, credit to Adelaide for doing their homework and executing their plans beautifully. It's a real shame that our weaknesses were exposed the week before we play the most ruthless team in the comp. Get Viney and Salem back in ASAP because the Dogs will annihilate us at the contest otherwise. Oh, and Weid? Nah, he will not make it. Simply cannot impact when the game is there to be won. Useless.

Always amuses me how clubs feel the need to have board spills, sack coaches etc when they reach the end of their "window" The player list is old and on the decline. Why the panic?

Ahhhh dunno. I've only been a 20yr member once. ? I'll be honest, the thank you "certificate" it came with went straight in the bin. Generic, and bland as hell. The pin however made my day. Small things........

They got me at a weak moment. Actually, make that 20 weak moments.

No way. Jackson is first 22 already. You pick sides around players like Jackson, not Weidemann.

That's quite a morbid take on things old dee. You should be jumping for joy.

Chandler was horrendous. Poor kid tried so hard but simply got under everyones feet. Easy out for Viney when he is ready. Weid did not impress at all. For a bloke coming off much touted form at VFL level he was just average. And STILL 2 grabs almost every mark. Not good enough for a key forward. TMac has him well and truly covered. Am I the only one who thinks we look heaps better with Harmes in the middle? I've been impressed with how much more dangerous he makes us look. With Viney and Oliver (and Jordon) beside him, we have the capacity for Trac to spend a bit more time across half forward. It's a nice mix.

ANB goal 66 to 41 Looking better now in the wet.

Who stole Brayshaws skills? Deplorable today.

Weid is still 2 grabbing almost everything. Would transform his game if he could trade his hands for Casboults.

Time waits for no man. We are by no means a certainty to make the grand final, let alone win it. How livid would you be to see the club pick anything but its best side if we made it? Is Jonesy in our best side now?

Need a win to keep a tight hold of our top 2 spot. If the player group is serious about a flag, we do not drop games like this. Tipping us today, but not by much Dees by 20

Doesn't kick goals. In fact he freezes like a deer in headlights when taking a set shot. It's embarrassing. His best work is the clearance from a lightning fast handball. Not the laser kick to a leading forward that gets everyone's attention. He was the perfect pickup for us because he filled a hole in the center with rare skills. Would take him over just about anyone else in the comp, Trac included.

That post was comparing us to the Bulldogs, not Carlton.

Met RobbieF and one of his sons at a pre-season massacre of Adelaide many years ago. Wonderful people to be at the footy with. @ding, did I meet GSmith with you at all? I feel I did but can't remember when. Also said it before but @tilly was a cracker. Bloody hell he tore the Bulldogs supporters apart at a Casey game pre season (even though we got soundly beaten) He was actually so into them that I was convinced he was looking for a blue. Funny guy, and again, great company at the footy. As for Dr Who, I had no idea he took over the joint. He and his brother? drove me from the site before that happened.

Just wanted to quote this post before you realised how bad you [censored] up.

Dreamworld. If you are going to fill a small room with large amounts of drunk people, expect trouble occasionally. We all know what "should" happen, but it's a fantasy that will never become reality. Alcohol, drugs and testosterone in confined spaces will always be a dangerous mix.

We don't have great midfield depth. A couple of injuries to key players and we are right back in the pack.

This thread would have to contain more words than any other in the history of Demonland.

Based on what exactly?

The older types on here will remember when a bloke by the name of Andrew Obst came over to join the Dees. Can't recall exactly who said it, but clearly remember one of the team staff claiming that he would be a "mild sensation". This young fella has a bit of Andrew Obst about him. Not necessarily his game style, but his worth to the team.

Agree. The best way to improve our team is to [censored] with a formula that has won us 8 games on the trot.

So Charlie Spargo is better than Gary Ablett Snr? He'd be happy with that.

Salem has been bloody magnificent all year. A revelation actually, compared to his previous output. A walk up start for an A.A half back spot.

It's bloody wonderful to see the Pies flailing about. The Bummers too. Just need the Weagles to fall in a heap to complete the trifecta. How funny would it be to see Norf bid with pick 1 for Daicos, and the pies spend their entire draft points matching it?
