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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
