It will be very interesting to see how much we have learnt and improved since round 1, i am just hoping we show some competitive sprit. If we lose and we have given it our all i wont be [censored] off.

Agreed. But I think Adelaide will be just as challenging considering how good the Crows have been and our appalling record at AAMI.

agred, but we can't compare the adelaide game with another adelaide game.

And I am not sure what that tells you in the slightest of any worth.

How about we compare it to any one of six poor games we have had this year and then work out what they have picked up from the Freo game?

Exactly. If we come out against Adelaide and play like we did against Hawthorn, Bulldogs etc. then we will have gone nowhere.

List the comparrisons and you will see that Melbourne vs Hawthorne rd 1 and rd 8 has more than melbourne vs adelaide and the first six games that we lost so it is a better way to measure how much we learnt since rd 1.

Thats on the naive assumption that the Hawks have stayed the same as round 1. They have not they have got better. So you are measure two variables within the one comparison. Brilliant.

Look i expect them to play like they did Yesterday. I will not accept anything less-none of us should. Robbo said it on SEN this Morning. Yesterday is now the Base, all matches can now be measured in the Bailey years to that game.

Don't forget that is the largest Margin (Bar 2 points of any team to come back) i dont care who the opposition is, that game is our "Line in the Sand" I expect every team who plays Melbourne to be sore and tired at the end and hopefully well beaten

If we can get within 2 goals of the Poo Wees (Hawthorn- brown and yellow) i think teams will start to consider melbourne a genuine opponent. I get the feeling we have the leagues attention now, we just need to follow it up with some good footy. Stay close (maybe pinch a win) ove the next 2 games would have the tipsters worried.
