We don't lose often in Adelaide, even in 2017 we beat the crowds by 42 points, our record there since 2016 is more wins then loses

Thanks for reminding me. We have done well there but not so much prior to 2017.

This team is playing better than that one so while Im confident I still thinks it a tough game.

One its Adelaide not Tasmania ...big crowd.

Two..we are being hunted now especially by lower clubs that desperately need a scalp.

I hate crows crowds.

    I think Viney loves to play in Adelaide - agreed - return of a native son and all? Has he played well there recently?

    Unless the boys decide to completely phone it in and go away from everything that's got us to this point so far, we're not losing against the Crows

    Put time into Tex, Laird and Keays 

    I can't see them kicking a high score. 

    Since Goody mentioned how we want to wrestle the game out until we have control, it's given me even more belief 

    Should win by 3+ goals at least. 

    Don't care how we do it, just want to get the W

    I envisage a 10 min bonanza like we had against North and Hawthorn but hopefully earlier in the game. This mob have lost their last 5. Wouldn't mind the boys getting a bit of bloodlust up and really belting them.

    Adelaide have won 10 qtrs of football this year and lost 25 (1 draw)

    They haven't won a 3rd qtr all year

    Last 5 games they have lost averaging 64.8 pts. Avg losing margin 5 goals

    Opposition in the last 5 games have averaged 97 pts

     

    We've got this

    You ever sat at a Port home game? Crows supporters, in contrast, are the model of civility. Most of them voted for Don Dunstan back in the day. And apart from Don's Safari suits, (thankfully a long-forgotten fashion statement), they still retain some degree of reasonable behaviour.

    Adelaide will be a difficult beast to tame. Home ground, a new-found modus operandi. They went West last week and didn't lose by much. The lads need to be on top of their game for this.

    Give them some credit, I’m sick of most our supporters not believing and saying every game a danger game

    Get on board & give them some credit for playing some fantastic football

    No I must say Ive never had the pleasure.

    Ive heard that most of them are out on day release.

    So I guess I should be more generous to the crows mob. Nah I cant. Perpetual booers. Drives me bonkers when they boo every shot on goal. I know its not cricket but sheesh.

    I remember those safari suits. My dad wore one for several years(i think it was the same one)

    In my role as family clown I wouud quip as he walked out the front door..

    "Dad be careful its a jungle out there"

    He never appreciated it.

    Can you imagine this being posted on “what they’re saying at Goschs Paddock/Casey Fields/insert other place “ on other forums -  most other fans wouldn’t be able to understand such ripping repartee like this and the Dunstan bit above. Too much humour, intelligence and correct grammar. It’d be lost on most.

    Danger game? 

    I don't see it. We have them covered in all areas of the ground and so far this season all I have seen from our team is one that is able to respond and work out a way to win. 

    Simple structures, setting up well behind the ball and players taking on the proper responsibilities.

    Nah, not a danger game.

    I'm on board. Just noting Adelaide might be more difficult than we expect.

    Nice angle, D17, but I have to step in: not enough Ls and Ms for Christian but there is sufficient for a Gawn to drop back into the hole...

    ...Which leaves E-NOISE, by the way. The fugazi on here that this is a danger game?....

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
