I'll kick it off from the match preview on Big Footy:

Getting this game called off due to Covid and labelled a draw may be our best chance at not losing...

PS Not many posts on Big Footy at present. Does anyone know of other forums?

    I didn't realise we had a 4-1 win/loss record against the Crows at the Adelaide oval. That's excellent. Granted the venue hasn't been around for long but i doubt we have anything close to that kind of record at any other away ground.

    Thank you for that. It’s actually an amusing read. ?

    I'd love to turn Optus into a fortress. Make the Eagles our biatches.

    Crows supporters don't have forums. They are passive and dull minded and don't know any more than to listen to 5AA for all their (extremely limited) football needs.

    Actually pretty funny. one of my adelaide mates said they are a chance because "we are due for a loss" and "the crowd really gets behind the crows at home games" I think he's got to come up with better reasons than that.

    I have a crows supporting mate who's giving them no chance and thinks it could be a blood bath. i hope he's right.

     We were horrific at AAMi park.  Used to lose there by 10 goals a game to both Port and the Crows. It was a graveyard for us even when we were going ok.

    Thank god they moved to Adelaide oval.

    We ended with a 5-24 record at AAMI and didn't win there after the famous 2001 win.

    We're now 6-4 at Adelaide Oval (albeit one of those wins was vs North last year).

    Yeah, but so do ours. "Whoo Hoo!"

    Edit: Points to the posters who actually get this.

    A sense of humor goes a long way to getting thru those long lonely years supporting a rubbish team. I approve.

    I went to the 2017 Game in Adelaide. When we turned a 30 point deficit into a 40 point win.

    That then was when I realized Petracca was going to be a weapon. 

    Also an Adelaide member told me we were "B Grade" & that they should "kick us out of the league".

    I've said before on here but the crows mate I'm heading over to watch the game with this weekend, he takes great joy in tuning into 5aa when Port looses to hear "the bloody Port Paaawwaa ferals teeing off on each other'... Gees it makes me laugh when I think of him doing that.

    Crows will continue to fall away but their supporters should be hopeful.  At round 4 they were 3-1 in 5th position.  They have plenty to work with.

    We will blow them off the park though.

    Not so sure on para 1. Their wins have been less than spectacular, (discounting the Cats upset in Rd 1) and lossess against even hawks and kangas.  Tomorrow will be a defining game for them list-wise in some ways.

    I reckon your 'e spot on though in prediction

    We're slow starters, so if they do get s jump on us and the crowd gets pumped up, they could have a 4-5 goal lead if we're off the ball. It would only take another burst of momentum in 3rd and then they defend out of their skins and we lose this one. First quarter is key.

    None of our matches against lowly Vic clubs have been the oft repeated danger game, but I do feel an interstate side on their patch is one.

    Me too Doug, took the family for a weekend away. Loved the ground, esp. the walk over the bridge across the Torrens at dusk.

    Also loved yelling out "how good was that" to Clarry's goal from the top of the (very quiet) grandstand.

    yeah they arent world beaters and the 3-1  start was an abberation but they're not a basket case is all I am saying!  Remember last season they were odds on to go winless before they finally broke through.

    I would take the Crows list over the Pies or Roos.

    that thread is very light on. They don't have too much to say for themselves those crows fans.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
