Adelaide

[Old Gregg 1]

Who have Adelaide beaten this year???

Let's have a look....

Rnd 1 they beat Collingwood by 4 points

Rnd 3 beat Freo at Subi

Rnd 5 beat us

Rnds 9 - 15 they won 7 on the trot.... beating quality sides like Carlton, Hawthorn, Essendon, Kangas, Sydney, Richmond & Freo

Rnd 17 they beat Port

Rnds 20, 21, 22 they beat Hawthorn, West Coast and Carlton

Now.... Let's have a look at some losses....

Saints smashed them twice

Geelong smashed them at AAMI and then got over the line at KP

Bulldogs, Brisbane and Collingwood also beat them

As well as Port in the first showdown of the year

And then the Crows play a home final against a side that hardly deserved to be in the eight.....

haha.... The Crows have beaten no-one of significance this year apart from Collingwood in Rnd 1....

I live in Adelaide and I love reminding the fools here of these facts..... They think they are premiership favourites now.....

They will get pumped next week at the MCG....

Damn I hate the Crows!!!

That's a very fair point you make. No top 4 teams beaten...

But you have to look at their form line...scoring 53 goals in two weeks against (admittedly mediocre) top 8 sides.....that's pretty convincing.

That is why Rhino I think next year we can't make the top 4 but I definately think we can beat average teams like Carlton so I think we can make the 8. You still believe in your stats o great one?

which team is going to get worse though? maybe saints and cats but they wont lose many players and they still have plenty of stars. bulldogs, crows and pies still fairly young. bombers, blues, lions, hawthorn still all young teams. I can't see us being a better side than any of the top 9 next year unless there is a fair amount of injuries.

It doesn't matter who they've beaten this year. What matters is how they're going right now. And they're going great. A massively potent forward line (53 goals in 2 weeks is ridiculous, it doesn't matter how bad the opposition defence is), a strong midfield, and a defence that has held up well even without Nathan Bock.

They aren't certainties to beat Collingwood/St Kilda next week (will probably go in as underdogs anyway), but the match will be a close one, and Adelaide stands every chance of beating them. Which is why I am focusing all my energies into praying for St Kilda to beat Collingwood today.

Go you Sainters..... Would love to see Adelaide roll Collingwood next week.... It would be a toss-up between 2 sides I really hate, but geez how can you go past watching Collingwood get rolled!!!!
