May is one tough hombre. Fatigue my big concern. would have thought some fresh legs in order given the short turnaround from a taxing game on saturday night but i trust the FD. It will be a battle. The crows will throw the kitchen sink at us. they have to otherwise their fans will turn feral.

there'll be no complacnecy. recent history against the Crows will ensure that enemy territory, hostile crowd, playing a team getting the blowtorch treatment. It's going to be a battle. I've no doubt. 5 day a concern but Crows have had to travel back from Perth apply ourselves like we did against Port and we should win. I i reckon we will.

Seriously. That wizard kid needs to lose that nickname. How tf did he miss that

Great mark

Beat up on the bad teams and home ground advantage

Ah frostball. My heart doesn’t miss it. hes playing well though. Close to their best I reckon

Suits us if they beat the cats but otherwise I hope they languish for years to come.

Mitchell needs to be careful. 2 seasons in and serving up this dross won’t go down well with the faithful, rebuild or not.

Some of the hawks play has been comically bad

Hawks looking very ordinary so far.

Great player Hawkins. He’s one of the main reasons the cats have defied gravity for so long. He’ll be very hard to replace. I have to say though I won’t be sorry to see the back of him when he does hangs up his spurs.

Montagna one of the few pundits I bother to listen to anymore

Got me. Read the title and was ready to type a furious post

I'll be hoping the Hawks can pull out a performance today and beat the Cats. Not overly confident though. Hawks have been underwhelming thus far.

He was not quite right against Port but still dominated in the last quarter. Not sure we would have won without him. Can't take the Crows lightly. When do we ever have an easy game against them at AO? They'll be getting the blowtorch treatment all this week so will come out fighting. It's going to be a tough game. Clarry has to and will play.

Great to see Adelaide floundering for 2 reasons: 1. It might make Petty rethink being traded to them; 2. If he insists on joining them, it looks like we'll get a top 10 draft pick in the trade.

Richmond are a chance here. Playing really well. Go tiges

Watching the last quarter of the NBL final between Jack jumpers and united. Game 5 decider. It’s down to the wire.

Tiges have had a crack but I expect the swans to pull away in the second half.

Zero sympathy for the eagles. An arrogant footy club. An extended period at the bottom might them and their supporters some humility

We could look back on this week in Adelaide as providing the platform for our flag tilt. Back-to-back wins in SA will work wonders for belief and confidence.

Crows form has been genuinely putrid. They have to turn the corner soon and won't be surprised if its on Thursday. I expect a stern challenge from them. BB is super important for us. Gotta manage him though the season. Given the ridicoulous 5-day break perhaps Fullarton comes in for him. he'll provide a chop out for Maxy as well. billings was quiet but we should persevere. It'll be a hot contest again so he'll need to front up better otherwise Woey will take his place.

Dermie keeps prattling on about the expected score. what a goose.

Kade Chandler was good again tonight and playing really well to start the season. I was worried about him but he's lifted after his end of season slump last year

how on earth does Dermie still get a gig. surely there is someone better for the job. spouts such guff
