taking a look at the lineup, crows should win, its 22 vs 1 :p haha jk jk

[mickzerofive]

ill be at the game cheering for both teams =] should be an awesome game. and who ever wins i will change my support for! ;) haha kdddddng

[Mr Magoo]

Looks like i'm heading to this game as well as my gf has been nagging me why i never go to the footy with her. Should be a very interesting battle of wits between the 2 coaches as they both employ pretty strong defensive zones. Adelaide should win though by 1-19 points

[beez]

Trent Croad out

[fightingdreamer88]

Adelaide by 67.

[ipk086]

Now Croad is out I'm not overly confident (not that I was in the first place though!)

I think we will win it in a close one but won't be surprised at all if the crows end up smashing us

[Messenger]

Trent Croad out

May see the return of one Zac Dawson tonight. A bigger unit than the scrawny fella fed to the wolves in 2006. I'd like to see Zac in, but Tom Murphy is a more likely replacement.

With no Burton, Croad is not the biggest loss. Croad too short for any one of Tippett, Maric or Griffin playing forward in any case.

This match will be won in the middle (aren't they all?) Adelaide have nearly a full complement and we are light two mids (Sewell and Crawford).

Neither team has a good form line right now, but the Crows should win a close game.

[rdhopkins2]

Going to be a great test tonight for the Hawks with a number of key players out again. Just how good are we....we are only as good as the best side we can put on the field at any one time.

Injuries are no excuse nor suspension. I'm hopeful that we have improved (not just the auto start 22 but the players from 23-28). If we win tonight it will be a great step towards believing we can be a finals threat. If we lose, we still have a way to go.

Bring it on! Let's prove that we are a good side!

[lions_den]

why are Hawthorn $2.35?? Madness, easy money:thumbsu:

[Mr Magoo]

why are Hawthorn $2.35?? Madness, easy money:thumbsu:

They were $2.45 on line betting this afternoon when i placed my bets

[Cuzz09]

Adelaide by 44 points.

Buddy max 3 goals.

[aussieicon91]

If we play like we have the last 3-4 weeks then we'll lose by 40+ points.

If we play like we did in the first 8 rounds then we'll win comfortably.

[changa40]

The Loss of croady is a pain, but not the end of the world, as said before, adelaide have a rather small forward line, which may help the younger bodied hawks! im more worried about chance bateman...hope he plays, hes cut adelaide up the last two times.

im expecting big things from little rioli tonight! just think hes gonna have a good game!

i rekon Jarryd Roughead is the key tonight!..yep crazy...yep you have to get the ball out of the middle to get it to him...and yes there is a bloke called Franklin..but if Buddy can keep doing what he dose...and Roughy chip in with 4 or 5..that will go along way to getting the points..any thoughts?

[Inzy]

Murphy in for Croad? I'm going off the AFL stats and he seems to be the inclusion?

Should be a ripping clash this one, just hoping the conditions aren't too slippery so both teams can showcase their immense talent.

Yep, Murphy was one of the emergencies. Not thrilled - Murphy has hardly set the world on fire this season and Zac deserves a crack;)

[HolyWars]

Go Hawks!
GL Crows, but just not too much :D

[ChunkyDuckling]

christ. what an awful looking start.

[ChunkyDuckling]

WTF????? Are we Melbourne???

:mad:

[black_hart]

15-0 to the crows

[W.Bulldogs_Aus_WC06]

dont kick-ins count as posessions??

[gs17]

dont kick-ins count as posessions??

No they don't

[Cheshire Cat]

Crows 15
Hawks 12

[ChunkyDuckling]

dont kick-ins count as posessions??

Yeah I never realised that either... Was considering them when picking my DT!

B.I.T. Hawks.

[Inzy]

What happened to Bassett? Hawks back in it quickly

[changa40]

uncontested mark in the 50m....WTF HAWKS!....

lucky tippet cant kick

[The TACHawks]

soft as butter young...get your head over the ball for a f$%ckin change

[ChunkyDuckling]

Good thing is, we have been very poor. But we are still in it..

[changa40]

get those kicking boots on buddy!

[Cheshire Cat]

Buddy looking dangerous, Fremantle dangerous. ;)

[ChunkyDuckling]

Quarters: 'good decision by the man in Darren Goldspinks famous number 32'

:D:D

[Macquarie Eagle]

Buddy's basically piggy-backing a crows player everytime the ball goes near him!

[flukeyluke]

Good result after a slow start.

[Messenger]

Hawks are going to have to be cleverer about how the ball moves in forward. Adelaide drop back very quickly and are sweating on Franklin.

Time for Williams and Boyle to produce.

Cracking game BTW.....

[detox]

I dont think this amount of attention has ever been payed to one single player. He is playing on 4 blokes

Kudos to the crows, they are doing it well.

[Xtreme]

Adelaide should be miles in front by now, lol at Buddy's struggle thus far... although i loved it when he side stepped the player before :thumbsu:, too bad it was a point.

I've tipped Adelaide (not unusual i've tipped against the Hawks a few times this season), but if Hawthorn get up.... it would be good to see.

[Hawk43]

yeah the big fella should have 2 or 3 already and it's only quarter time, good signs we are well on top after that first 15 mins. Young and clarke soft efforts already no surprises there

[hawkz]

We got out of jail in 1st quarter.

Nice sidestep from BUDDY !

[ChunkyDuckling]

All to no avail, should have kicked it quicker...

I think we will win now. We have been pretty bad, hit our straps of sorts and held them for the second half of that quarter.

If we can get one decent quarter in it should be enough. I am not an optimist but i think I overrated Adelaide...

hmmmmm. spoke too soon. :mad:

[cbreban]

Disgusting decision on Tippett. Costs Adelaide 2 goals.

[bluecrow]

Terrible decision to call play on at the Tippett free kick. Open your eyes.

[PHX]

It's technically right.

The Ten commentators are wrong from my knowledge of the rules. "Advantage" can only be called when a player other than the one who has the free kick attempts to play on. Therefore if he interpreted Tippet tried to play on it's play on and no "no advantage" can be called to bring it back.

Maybe an umpire or someone with better knowledge than me can verify this?


That said it's common sense that Tippet wouldve taken the shot if he knew he had the free and the umpire should have realised this.

[Puddy]

Franklin reported

[piefan]

The Tippet decision was correct.

It was his free kick and he played on. If it spilt to another player it would have been advantage call and then it would have been called back.

[chickawah]

On Ya Ivan, Stick Up For Your Team Mates!!!! Take That Buddy, You Twat!!!!!! Carn The Crows

[BringBackTheShotgun]

Buddys gawn. that hurts

[TheTrav]

Don't think the hit by Franklin had much to it. The crows player kind of got swung into his elbow, if goodes got off last week, Franklin will.

Awesome game by the way.

[cbreban]

The Tippet decision was correct.

It was his free kick and he played on. If it spilt to another player it would have been advantage call and then it would have been called back.

He handballed it because he didn't even know he had the free kick. The umpire called the free kick way too late.

[Ricardo]

Very interesting match atm, Adelaide doing quite well but can they keep it up for 4 quarters.

The Franklin report looked soft at first but the replay showed he may miss a week or more for that.

[Cheshire Cat]

Franklin reported

Nothing in it

I was just thinking is there a gayer club song than Adelaide's? I mean Freo's is stupid, but Adelaide's is just gay

[piefan]

He handballed it because he didn't even know he had the free kick. The umpire called the free kick way too late.

It does not matter. He played on after getting a free kick. Just bad luck.

[cbreban]

Franklin has to get at least a week. Deliberate contact to the head. I doubt he will go though this is one the superstars we are talking about.

[celtic_pride]

Buddy should get 3 weeks for that act ...

[Cheshire Cat]

Buddy should get 3 weeks for that act ...

Carlton got the Hawks the next few weeks?

No chance.

One, maybe. Even then would be unlucky

[ChunkyDuckling]

Buddy reported - couldn't happen to a better guy.

Good onya. :rolleyes:

TBH wouldnt be the worst thing for us if he was rubbed out....

I tell you what Blight is a ________. Everyone thinks Quarters wears his heart on his sleeve and I agree but he isnt the worst commentator, at least he tries to stay impartial...
Blight is embarrassing to listen to. :thumbsd:

[TheTrav]

Buddy should get 3 weeks for that act ...

lol, was nothing in it, the player got swung in the tackle and his head hit Franklins elbow. Goodes hit was worse last week.

[TwisTz]

Blight has lost his marbles.

Seriously I think the old coot has gone insane.

Put him in a home where he can tell the other elderly's about his 180m torp.

[Bradesmaen]

Stop flooding hawthorn, open the game up or are you afraid to get beaten?

[Cheshire Cat]

Good onya. :rolleyes:

I'm thinking about starting a facebook group - "1000 people who want Malcolm Blight removed from the commentary box and deported to Siberia"

Edit: surely we could get more than 1000?

[aussieicon91]

I hope Hawthorn win. Nothing better then the silence of an interstate crowd after getting beaten by a Victorian team.

[Cheshire Cat]

How many points now for Buddy?

[ChunkyDuckling]

Stop flooding hawthorn, open the game up or are you afraid to get beaten?

No they cant wait to get beaten... :confused:

Idiot.

[gs17]

How many points now for Buddy?

4 and one out on the full

Ill keep my eyes peeled for it. ;)

I've turned the sound down and switched on the radio.. Had enough.

Take Blighty for what he is - colour commentary, adds a bit of life to the box.

Can anyone fill me in on Basset?

[ChunkyDuckling]

4 and one out on the full

Yeah all of our points!

Had a bit of it and set one up though...

[Cheshire Cat]

Life or death? I tend to think death

[ChunkyDuckling]

Take Blighty for what he is - colour commentary, adds a bit of life to the box.

To each his own i suppose, I am all for colourful commentators but..... :o

[HolyWars]

At half time, I am pretty happy being 2 points down the way we have played. Hawthorn have been pretty shyte and Adelaide has had alot more of it. Have huge room for improvement in the second half, so I am still optomistic.:thumbsu:

[Link_Wray]

Arrrgggg mute...walls and blight, bouncing off each other....make the hurting stop!

[Pessimistic]

Hodge has settled the defence and is now playing foward.

Its our game now

[HolyWars]

Don't think the hit by Franklin had much to it. The crows player kind of got swung into his elbow, if goodes got off last week, Franklin will.

Awesome game by the way.

Yeah, it was pretty bad luck, I think it was Ozzy who laid a tackle just as Buddy was going to give the hip and sholder, Definatly wasnt going for the head.
Repremand at worst if they are consistant.:thumbsu:

[ams4crows]

worst skills I've seen in a game for the entire year!

[HolyWars]

worst skills I've seen in a game for the entire year!

Atleast both teams are making mistakes to make it a good game to watch:D

[CouchPotato]

Herald pretty quick to put a spin the on the buddy report - running the tribunal now

"Lance Franklin has been suspended tonight"

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sport/afl/story/0,26576,23864405-5015544,00.html

[pjcrows]

Feels like the Hawks class might get them over the line here. Crows are pretty messy going forward.

Looks like the HUN finally got something right

[mantis]

LMFAO, *******:rolleyes:

OOPS, you're not allowed to use the R word. :eek:

[Zvim]

Hmmm, are goals only being scored by defensive errors?

[joejoe]

Feels like the Hawks class might get them over the line here. Crows are pretty messy going forward.

We will win this mark my words:thumbsu:

[Cheshire Cat]

Fair goal from Roughead

[Macquarie Eagle]

Is Dew injured? Haven't seen him this half.

[pjcrows]

We will win this mark my words:thumbsu:

Mmm not sure. They've played well below their best - I can just feel the Hawks winning by a few kicks. Then again, I've felt that before.

[Cheshire Cat]

Is Dew injured? Haven't seen him this half.

Body is not up to AFL standard

[Macquarie Eagle]

Buddy to kick winning goal after the siren!

[Cheshire Cat]

Buddy to kick winning goal after the siren!

Lets just get him a goal first

[Macquarie Eagle]

Lets just get him a goal first

You're loving this aren't you CC...

Lets just get Hawkins a game first!

[amaza]

Buddy to kick winning goal after the siren!


You wish!

[mantis]

You're loving this aren't you CC...

Lets just get Hawkins a game first!

His 150 goals this season isn't looking too good. :eek:

[HFC082]

BUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDDDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

Great goal son

[Macquarie Eagle]

His 150 goals this season isn't looking too good. :eek:

Look out. Essendon must have got a win this week. :D

[mantis]

Look out. Essendon must have got a win this week. :D

At least Lloyd kicked goals this week, even though he wasn't playing FF, how many has Buddy kicked tonight? :p

[celtic_pride]

Yee HAA ... Onya Jericho .. Come on Crows, finish off the Tassie Dawks :D

[Brenton Davy]

Jjjjeeerrrrrrriiicho!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HFC082]

ZOMG what a goal ozzie.
