Unofficial Preview We are in the finals- Crows v Bulldogs Sat Night at the G

[VitalDread]

All the best guys, should be a cracker of a game
Looking forward to seeing Danger and Tex in the finals

 

[adelaidecrows]

Crows by 97 points! Maybe 98

 

[PCORF]

channel nine saying Saturday night

There is a good chance they prefer night finals in Melbourne anyway and day finals outside of Melbourne. It has often been the case in recent years.

 

[FantasticShirt]

Ross Lyon made the point after their loss that no one really remembers what happens this week it's just noise, no point dwelling on it. Stats show that winning in the final round means little in relation to form in first week of finals. In fact more teams have won their first final (after a final rd H&A loss) over past 10-13 years.

Time to get something out of this year and win at least one final. We know we're capable of great football, Bulldogs are also coming off a loss, against a shitter side than we faced, in shitter conditions than we just played in.

Saturday night. MCG. Finals. Get it done.

Woohoo Crows will win according to those stats. Wait??? What do you mean Bulldogs lost too! F#ck!

 

[fuddrooster]

Well I guess it's almost certainly gonna be Sunday, then

If that was to happen I'd change to a later flight on sunday.

 

[Slippery Pete]

How bad's Brodie Smith?

 

[Elite Crow]

How bad's Brodie Smith?

He is a bad ass.

His ankle not so sure.

 

[fuddrooster]

The said he'd be ok.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Same as WCE did to the WB our KPF need to expose the WB lack of KPD

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Match up for Stringer?

Is there any chance the Dogs will rest him? Or give him a run down back?

 

[BunjiMac]

I'd consider Kerridge or Griggs, or both.

If we make mistakes by foot or hand, we are going to be doing a lot of turning and chasing.

We therefore need to be pinpoint with passing and have the speed and stamina to keep up with a very fast side.

One of Crouch or Lyons to make way for Kerridge and I would consider VB out for Griggs.

 

[1990crow]

Heading over, everyone join me and support the boys

Match up for Stringer?

I don't think any team's got a match for Stringer. Will need to double team him. Brodie Smith for height and speed and Stiffy Johncock for grunt and agility.

 

[hey shorty]

Cheney is the guy we traded in to play on the Stringer type players. He must come into calculations but I'm not sure who drops out. Going on performance I'd suggest Lever but I wouldn't do that, maybe Hendo but after 30 touches it wont be him either. ...... as poor as they were.

 

[spexau]

They have Roughead and Redpath so need Talia and Hartigan. Lever on Stringer is scary!

 

[Scorpus]

Roughead is a defender last time I checked

 

[conVINCEd]

ffs, get their ******* act together and gives us times and dates. This is shit. The AFL knew the likely scenarios once Richmond won.

Settle down; Sydney and West Coast are still playing and those results can still impact the final standings.

 

[1990crow]

Looks like Crameri out is going to be huge for them. Talia to Stringer (when hes forward). Hartigan to whoever they start forward out of their remaining talls (Redpath). Lever to cover Dickson and third up. Brown to Dalhous and Laird to help out with Lever as well.

 

[Hendersloane]

Flights and accom booked, we're making a long weekend of it Friday-Monday.

 

[GROTTO]

Settle down; Sydney and West Coast are still playing and those results can still impact the final standings.

No I wont.

The Dogs-Crows game was set in stone hours ago. Once the Tigers won last night, then the permutations reduced significantly.

 

[conVINCEd]

Roughead is a defender last time I checked

He's their first ruck and going forward at the moment.

Crameri injured?

 

[1990crow]

Crameri injured?

Yep check the AFL website

 

[who_let_the_dogs_out]

Late 90s flashbacks playing your mob at the G. Should be a ripper!

Thankfully I don't have to complete my shift at Mcdonald's like that infamous day in late 97, so will actually be able to watch it live. May the best team win.
