Are Adelaide screwed?

Yes

Are Adelaide screwed?

Reminds me of us last year, high expectations, expected it to happen & it isn’t.
But even more of us in 2016, change of game style to match the better teams which set us back 3 years & had us chasing our tail.

And yet the vast majority picked Freo for the bottom 8

 

[Lach72]

After watching Adelaide, it’s clear there are at least 4-5 teams who are complete dog s**t.
Eagles, Crows, Norf, Dorks and Richmond, but less so
Brisbane we shall see. The wheels may have not fallen off yet, but the bearings are coming apart.

We only have doubles against Eagles and Tigers unfortunately

* knows how ended up with doubles against Melbourne and Port.

Under the radar can be a good thing.

Who picked Richmond 2017 and Melbourne 2021 to perform the way they did.

Both there previous seasons were as bad as what we produced last year.

West Coast in 2018 were tipped to miss the 8 and won the flag.

Expecting Saints to win, but from memory Essendon have always caused issues for St Kilda under Lyon

 

[Joao]

Player for player ability is probably close.

Bombers can't defend transition and the Saints are fast.

Saints by 3 goals.

 

[mattis117]

One way traffic so far. Essendon still can't defend as a team.

How's the self-awareness from some on the Carlton board?

We've been lucky to play who we've played. Teams we beat haven't beat anyone etc...

We've played 2 of the same teams as them and they're flag locks apparently.

It's so funny. Like I'm not confident we'll beat them because I think they outmatch us in a lot of areas, but we've both only beaten teams that are currently 0-3, including 2/3 of the same opponents, and our % is 20% better than them.

Kingy commentating Ross Lyon games.

Acting like its 95-5 when in its probably 55-45.

I don't expect us to win, but not sure their overwhelming confidence is deserved based on 2024 performance.

I think we can at least match them everywhere except KPF. AP and Co have to play out of their skins again for us to win I think.

Midfield is concerning me. Hope Cripps ends up having to miss.

We got Fyfe this time with young in there too now.
I still think we lose coz the AFL are on a mission to get their fairytale team to a flag but there should be no excuse for us not to match them physically in the middle.

 

[Kram]

Cmon Bombers, for a change how about playing a game like you don't stink for once.

 

[gaskin]

This has been a pretty good game. Just as Saints look like they are going to pull away Essendon kick a couple of quick goals.

 

[Wilksyy]

I know a lot of peeps here wanted us to draft Cox given his unique attributes. But sheesh, dud unicorn.

Happy someone else sees this. If he wasn't a first round pick, I doubt he gets a game

[mattis117]

Damn, umpires must have something on a Saints win here

total meltdown on Crows forums.
worse than Chernobyl!
Nix cant last...
and the WAGS are very very restless!

 

[mike91]

David King keeps fanboying Martins disposal count

Luckily Dunstall actually understands how afl works and keeps trying to kindly educate him about his minimal impact

 

[Wilksyy]

To the Saints board!

Thankyou Bombers
