My main concern is that we wont be able to score enough goals. We may be able to limit them to 10 goals but then we wont score more than 6 or 7. Even against the Swans though an improved performance, they were not far off from nearly doubling our score. I like to see some more freedom and risk taking when moving the ball forward.

Hoping Pedo plays back and Chip goes forward. That's where they are best positioned in our current side IMO. Would also like to see Salem play a full game.

If we make it a scrap we are every chance

Sauce?

And yes I'm the most gullible person on the planet.

I don't usually have sauce with my coffee - maybe that's just me.

It will be a dour struggle, no blowout loss, Roos' strategy is to either win or else lose with dignity..

I love the way Dawes runs to get a kick. However, all too often, he gets the ball too far out. We need to get forward quicker and more efficiently. If we could get the ball in his hands inside 50 he is more likely to do some scoreboard damage.

I've got a good feeling about Pedo today. Driving to my grandson's basketball game today I passed a place called "Ped's Cafe" in Waverley Road, Malvern and then as I went further down the road on the corner of Warragul Road there was a sign that said "Give way to Peds" - an omen if there ever was one that he's going to play a blinder.

How long since we beat the crows in Adelside? Over 10 years isn't it?

Well what ever it was tack another year into it, we won't get close to the crows today.

2002 i think.

Leonchelli late goal??

Yeah Leo hits the winner in the wet, could not remember if it was 01, 02 or 03.

Fox Footy coverage starts at 4.30pm. The game itself is due to start at 4.10pm. Are we going to miss the start of the game or will there be a "red button" available? I'm new to Foxtel this year.

4.10 Adelaide time...4.40 fox footy for us.

Watching Hawks demolish saints. Clarkson has to be a modern day coaching genius the way he has them playing. Has reinvented Shoenmakers as a forward. Everything he touches turns to gold. Hope we can throw the bank account at hi when his hawks contract expires.

Cant stop Danger from winning it on the inside even if u have a solid midfield. And comparatively our clearance work is the worst rated in the league at present.

And who do we have to stop Danger's work on the outside when he gets loose? Vince/Cross/Viney maybe? (Good learning curve for Jack in short stints).

From what ive witnessed we just dont work hard enough (Jones & Cross an exception) to get front possie in the stoppages amd hence get first use more often than our opponents.

If this occurs again today and we cant slow Dangerfield up on the outside, then its the Crows by 10 plus me thinks. If we turn it around and limit Dangerfield on outside we might get within 5 or so.

Crows by 45.

Salem sub unfortunately

If we play pressure footy like last week, the wet soggy conditions will help us out. Adelaide's a slow team this year, with those things in our favour, i reckon we can be very competetive, take it right up to the crows. I don't think we will win, but i would be surprised if we got blown away.

I have been surprised many times before lol

Saints may lose by 150

So frustrating that we didnt beat them in round 1

If the hawks keep going 187 is possible

Hawthorn up by 132 over the Saints

34 scoring shots to 7

SMASH THE CROWS AND LEAPFROG ANOTHER TEAM OR TWO!!!!

Final teams are in. No changes. I/C: Melb - Byrnes, Tyson, Georgiou & Salem (sub); Ade - Jaensch, Lynch, Crouch & Grigg (sub) #aflcrowsdees

from the pictures melbourne have put on twitter it looks sunny but when you look at the forecast its meant to rain

Its actually scary what hawthorn are doing tot he saints. But its nice to see other teams can get thrashed
