Superb goal Oliver. Take that Tex

Scumbag Walker

Controversial comment. Is Dogga a better ruck than Maxy

Where is our tackling and pressure. Way too lax.

Folks. I think we're in a game today. Credit to the crows. they're taking the game on through the corridor.

If the adelaide player shepards the ball over the line how can it be deliberate. Nonsense rule

Smart delivery from Melks and the Weid kicks true.

Brilliant goal Rivers. I love this kid

Typical first quarter effort thus far. Crows pressure very good early.

Think Gus is winded rather than a head knock thankfully

Super ruck work from Dogga. Great to have him back in

surely maxy will kick this....and he does. always get nervous when maxy lines up straight in front, 20 meters out

Great tackle JJ

Agree with all this. The other thing i would add is that the aura of invincibility is slipping. teams will now have belief playing the Tiges whereas before they were defeated before the ball was bounced. Psychologically that makes a big difference.

I haven’t watched much of the Crows recently but looking at the stats from last weeks game against the Eagles they conceded 11 goals to the Eagles KPF triumvirate. Of those Darling (who takes second best defender, best goes to Kennedy) kicked 5. The Weid obviously isn’t in the same class as Darling yet but he will take 2nd best defender. I reckon the Weid to kick 4 and TMac 3. Reckon the margin of victory will be 30 points or thereabouts.

We’re not a flat track bully team. System, process, structure. I expect a similar outcome to last week. Adelaide will challenge us but we’ll keep them at arm’s length and win by a comfortable, regulation 5 goals. I’d like to see Trac have a big game. He’s not quite been at his best lately. Build his confidence before the big tests v the Dogs and Lions. We need him firing to give us the best chance to win those games Hoping the Weid can clunk a few marks and slot 3-4 goals Another game for Petty to build his confidence. Reckon he’ll take Thilthorpe, decent young KPF. To all the Demonlanders over there for the game I hope you have a thoroughly enjoyable day. Go Dees

was thinking the very same thing. the explosive power not quite there for him tonight.

The focus has all been on the Dogs but I think the game v the Lions in the Alice is the tougher of our upcoming 2 games. I don’t like the run the Lions are on so I wouldn’t mind seeing Lynch, the Nank et al softening them up tonight.

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

BB took his marks and slotted his 3 goals v Sydney in a very tight game. I wouldn’t trust the Weid to do that…yet. He really needs to take this chance. No more talk of potential. I think he has what it takes but he’s at an age now where he has to start delivering for us. If he doesn’t fire against Adelaide I reckon we go with the proven goal kicker in BB against the Dogs.

Richmond have been a champion team, hats off to them. But I don’t think too many neutrals will be sorry if they fall back into the pack. Other than Dusty, and Jack Riewoldt in small doses, they are a fairly unlikeable outfit. Compare their behaviour to how Maxy, Trac, Tmac, BB and Lever conduct themselves on the field. I much prefer the way we go about it.

Sounds like the MGC precinct home base project is going nowhere fast. I hope we have contingency plans.

You know we’re in a good place when the extent of our complaints and arguments over selection is whether Melks or Chandler should get the nod. Both borderline best 22. I would have given Chandler another run but he showed very little against Carlton other than one no look handball that set up Spargo for a goal. He was pretty ordinary overall.

The Weid steps out of the shadow of BB. He really needs to take advantage and i reckon he will. Predicting a 5 goal haul.

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