It's Game Day and the Demons have the opportunity to go two from two in their Adelaide Adventure as they face an under the pump Crows who should come out breathing fire as their season hangs by a thread.

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.

We've got his.

( I hope)

I want a stress free and relaxing old fashioned smashing of these silly crows.

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

The 5 day break caught me napping. 🤷‍♂️

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.

 

Danger man. Rankine.  Typically all duck and no dinner but he has good form v Dees. Mcvee to get the job.  

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. 

The murder of Crows will be slaughtered. 

By the end of the night we will just hear Caw, Caw, Caaaaaaaaaawww. 

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

Dees by 32 pts Kozzie to kick 5 in his home town

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.

I do not like thee, Doctor Fell,
The reason why – I cannot tell;
But this I know, and know full well,
I do not like thee, Doctor Fell.

Will be a perfect night for footy and I hope Petty kicks 5 just to rub it in.
