Game Day Adelaide Football Club vs Richmond Football Club in Round 2 of the 2023 AFL Premiership Season

[Scorpus]

First home game of the year. Let's hope Rankine can kick some snags and Murphy can get a goal so I progress in the goal kicking game but doesn't do much more so he's dropped next week

 

[BunjiMC]

I'm hopeful but I think the heat of last weeks game will be too much for us to compete for 4 quarters

 

[GreyCrow]

I'm attending for a few reasons but to see Rankine is uppermost

 

[Peter Doherty]

Huge opportunity for everyone playing today.

Best part of last week is they get another chance. Coming up against Taranto and Hopper weirdly makes it like they get another crack at GWS.

On paper Richmond look very strong, on paper. Didn't look that great last week, still wary of them.

Looking forward to watching Pedlar again crowd will love him.

I view the Tigers differently, the fact the Blues rolled the Cats, gives the Tigers credibility to draw with them and their formline.

Should be a packed vocal crowd this arvo.

I think he will love the fact that the team is playing for is well supported, I would be disappointed if he doesnt improve on his 2.5 from last week.

The Carlton-Geelong game has franked their form. I'm wary.

Terrible time slot, right when I finish work and have the kids

Tell them they can have a swimming pool, and go out the back and start digging

a truckload of opportunity to use to inspire the troops and get them hyped up. Whether he chooses to go the positive route, the redemption route, the * em all route or whatever is his choice. But one thing is certain, if the players aren't playing with a fire in them this week we know he isn't the man.

LET'S GOOOOOOOO!!!

Crows by 73 points.

Didn't expect Murphy to be in, but hope that he has a blinder.

Fog to kick 6.

 

[Crows I Am]

Really hard one to tip, before last week I would have picked us, but the GWS game has lowered my expectation on us for this year after a promising pre season. Hopefully we can bounce back and overcome the short break/hot weather recovery from last week and get the win.

I am concerned about our lack of height in defence, could be some interesting mis matches throughout the game when some of our mid size defenders get caught on Samson or Lynch.

I will remain optimistic and go with Crows by 13 and Rankine and Rachele to light it up.

I told my wife no pool

 

[Golumless]

Adelaide by 4 goals. AO, Rankine first home game and it's a match up we won last year

 

[aabp1978]

Tigers by 38 points. Strong First Half trailing off into a poor third quarter, and then a late few goals in the 4th. 32k crowd…

Crowd will be closer to 40k than 30k.

 

[GROTTO]

Crowd will be closer to 40k than 30k.

Beautiful day today, it would be crazy to not go if you have season tickets.

 

[Vince in Tassie]

Many of The Tiger Army see this as a percentage booster...
It'd be good to not have the weekend ruined by a loss....

 

[jacksoncalllow]

Rankine 4 Rachele 4, Crows win by 16 points. Optimistic. Mids to get stuck in and break even. A few miracles in defence as Lynch drops two sitters.

murphy will survive based upon his 1 continuity credit. It matters not how he plays.

That will entirely depend on how this weeks preparation was geared. I'd have thought we'd be very aware of this issue.

 

[footy4ever]

Just like last season against this mob please Crows.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Just like last season against this mob please Crows.

It would be pleasing to see us respond after last week, to beat these *heads would make it even sweeter.

the preseason wasn't really all that promising, better form guide is last year.

It would be like beating the whole of the s**t Victorian media. It would be delicious but my tip is Richmond by plenty.
