GAMEDAY: Rd 04 vs Adelaide

Winning two games in Adelaide in 5 days will be an enormous fillip to our season.

The Crows will be trying to regain some pride and credibility in front of their home crowd, so expect early fireworks.

But..... after a tight first half we will  stone the Crows by 3 or 4 goals!

Expect a breakout night from Kozzie.

    I’m not too sure about tonight… 5 day break, being in a mini hub for the week, I’m worried about May, Crows backs to the wall. 
    Winning tonight will be huge for us. But if we are a bit flat and get rolled I think I’ll understand why

    Lots to think about tonight,

    5 day break,  crows need a win, Goody back in his hometown, might he want to go back at some stage. I think they will under estimate Windsor and he will have a blinder! MrMay is he right, 

    will we be flat ? Hope not and think not. Our work rate is better this year. But if we bleed the first three goals again I might hide under the pillow.

    start well and put them away. Kick straight 

    go Dee’s

    Mentioned in another thread that a South Australian played a very central role in the development of penicillin. The dual flush toilet also emerged from South Australia. Would be poetic if we could send the two local teams' seasons down the drain in the space of one week.

    The Port win was huge. We showed a steely resolve not seen since 21. I've been buzzing since Sat night. that win has given me great belief about our chances this year.

    i expect a tough battle. Crows have no choice other than full throttle effort. the locals will drive them out of town otherwise. but they have been genuinely putrid so far this season. there whole game style has collapsed. Walker is not right, Thilthorpe out. They can't kick goals.

    We'll batten down the hatches and weather the early storm. 

    Maxy and our mids will wrestle control and set us on our way. Fritschy BB and JVR with a couple will kick the goals for us.

    Dees by 25 points.

    Professional unit to deliver a professional game. Its either a grind to the end where I expect our class to shine above (See port game) or they roll over and dees by 40+ w/ 3 Kozzie goals.

    Crows will crack in, desperate times in front of ~40k+ desperados but our class will see us home. 

    Go Dees!

    Since round 0 our games have been professional,  disciplined and clinical. 

    We have a new belief in the way we are playing and have stuck to our task. The camaraderie that was missing in 22,23 is back along with care for our teamates.

    They are driven to go 2-0 in Adelaide and will turn it on tonight

    Should win, would be disappointed if we don’t. Short break isn’t ideal but it’s the price we pay for popularity that they put us on in prime time instead of hiding us away on the 4:35 Sunday slot like they used to. 

    ANB about to get the hardest tag of his life tonight after all the media attention this week. Should be able to burn them off by 3QT with his hard running.

    Reckon we'll win, but it'll be one of those games where we'll be stressing out until the last 10 minutes

    Kozzys is due to kick a bag sooner or later.

    I do hope it's tonight.

    Jvr to do some damage too.

    Crows to get caught who to stop the most...Petty or Bbb.

    I do not like the Adelaide Crows.

    It isn't so much that I hate them or that they have a high priority in my thoughts. I just don't like them.

    Losing to them would feel like watching a slack colleague get an efficiency award for finally doing the basic thing they've been putting off for six months which caused you a whole lot of extra trouble.

    I dislike them on the level of a debate about who is supposed to order printer ink.

    Let's just get it done so we don't have to think about them again until next year.

    It's Gather round .

    A showcase of all things SA.

    That includes their beloved clubs.

    I hope the umps behave well.

    The reason why – I cannot tell;

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
