We wont win, I'm still deluded enough to go every week and convince myself by the opening bounce we will though.

    "Play the kids" like we've had 3 first rounds the past 3 years too pluck from the list ?

    I also have FOMO - fear of missing out when we do decide to play properly and get a win....guarantee the one game I decide to skip the boys will have a glorious victory

    That probably fits nicely with our Hail Mary forward game plan binman.

    This game last year was a Masterclass by Clarkson. 

    Our coaching panel experimented with lots of new ideas (no wingmen, high zone press, Jones as tagger, roaming forwards/mids etc) and we were taken to the cleaners.

    We need coaches to be switched on like they were in the 2nd semi last year!

    Same

    Still kicking myself for staying at home for the 2008 game vs Fremantle. Haven't missed a match since.

     

     

    Edit...  OMac & JWag in for Viney & Weid

    O mac and Wagner..  exciting stuff.

    Should have bought in Keilty and Sparrow,  who are both emergencies.

    Don’t care that Omac was written up as one of the best at Casey last week

    I watched most of the game and thought he was very ordinary,they must have counted his kick outs in the stats 

    If I was Kielty I would be spewing, he has twice the talent of Omac

    Can understand maybe needing one defender, but two? Oh well, maybe they want Mcdonald and Jetta's replacement (was it lockhart last week) in the forward line instead. My wife has tipped us (Richmond supporter). Good luck team.

    That's right, because an untested player who's never played a single game at AFL level and is playing OK/consistent footy at VFL level is our saviour.

    And because we have inside mids and KPF's just queuing up to get a game.

    I can only hope that such strange selections are a precursor to an amended gameplan.

    Perhaps we can play nearest the pin with the losing margin.

    Gunston to reprise his 2:8 of the finals or 8:2?

    Hawthorn is going to kill us. They don't have anybody in their forward line slow enough for Oscar to play on. Sparrow should have been brought in to replace Viney. It will be like playing two men down.

    Smart selections: O Mac allows Tom (our best KPF) to go forward, as does J Wagner for Fritsch.

    I stand corrected, @Nasher. I just don't understand Goodwin's selections anymore.

    Why bring in Oscar? So he's going to play on Roughead then and Frost is going to play on a small?

    Surely, O'Brien is playing back? But maybe not, given the omission of Weideman?

    • 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.
