All we have to do is play 4 quarters of footy for the first time this season. Each game so far we've probably played 1-1.5 decent quarter's worth of footy throughout the game, we get that up to 3-4 and we win!

 

[Healer]

you've barely taken off before you're landing again...........

At my age, got the mile high club covered

 

[Blue Chip Pass]

I know there is alot of Hype around Adelaide, But who have they beaten really.
The only real concern, is playing on their home ground.
We will be up for this game for many reasons and we have the weapons..
Walsh is back, and will want to impress. Fishers's 100 game, Mitch has a point to prove, Young playing his best footy, Harry will continue his great marking, Curnow just getting better and more confident, Our defence holding up really well and we have Cripps !!!,
I think we have them covered. 25 point win to the Blues.

 

[Doro]

Looking forward to this one. If we can get out of the gates quickly and cause a few turnovers, the Crows confidence will disappear pretty quickly. It'll be great to see Walsh strutting his stuff again. H with a lazy 6 after his tribunal reprieve.

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Let's not kid ourselves, the Crows really aren't that good.

Blues by 6 goals

 

[myblueroan]

Yep , it feels like we are one player away from our best.

Not sure how we’d fit doc & Williams in the team.

Maybe Cowan out for docs & Williams off the bench. Both at HB with some time spent in midfield.

We would need another player out though … Ed?

People
Please stop trying to make Ed and Newie go away.
They are
F.A.B!

 

[Zlatan]

Let's not kid ourselves, the Crows really aren't that good.

We got absolutely pantsed there last season.

This will be as impressive a win as we’ve had all season imo.

 

[DirtyLeeds]

All good in the City of Churches!! The Dirty's have their tickets and are orf to the footy!!!!

Many thanks to Stig for his calming words this morning, even if he's an Old Monivarian !?! Would've played against him in the '81 SPC V Monirve smashing that we still talk about....

And massive to the Kman for his offering his spare tickets, thanks brother's great to see the Blue Blood connections thriving. And a big watch out for a middle aged loud bloke being bundled into the back of a divi van later on, it'll be Stig after the over generous supply of JB's he's indulged in....

The Dirty's in the Lade

 

[Accidental genius]

I smell a late change

wouldnt surprise me....who are you thinking?

 

[Blue since 72]

Gee a lot of crows talk in the media you’d think they won the flag.

Perception, they're playing exciting fast fun to watch footy whereas we're generally not, all on the back of beating a struggling Freo and a cross town rival with a not so great defence.

Opportunity to see if they're hype or real.

Look up the word bandwagon in the dictionary and it will say see media.

 

[footyfan1978]

Feeling like Fisher is set for a big 100th.

LFG !

Hope so. He overdue for a really big game.

 

[AndyLucimitis]

Many years ago, I drove to Adelaide to watch a game against Port Power, and parked outside Football Park. On my return, the car's duco and headlights were not in the same condition as I had left it. Careful where you leave your car in the City of Churches if you have Victorian number plates and/or Carlton stickers on the windows.

What about the 'Kochie does goats' sticker - would that have any effect ?

 

[footyfan1978]

All good in the City of Churches!! The Dirty's have their tickets and are orf to the footy!!!!

Awesome to hear.

 

[Gointocarlton]

Big night, big stage, all eyes on us, do us proud Baggers.
Good Luck Fish
Go Blues

 

[Dunna Heartknee]

Sorry to hear.
How your grandson going?
I have co-vid right now and never had it until now so hoping to be well within a few days.

Probably already known, Vitamin D3 feeds the bacteria that fight against the covid virus, get well soon.

We don’t need luck - if we turn up as opposed to last years effort then we will win.

 

[BartSimpson]

wouldnt surprise me....who are you thinking?

I have a gut feeling it will be a mid - with Plowman to come in to give us 7 defenders. Either one of the named “ins” who maybe hasn’t quite come up, or possibly there is an injury from last week/training that we haven’t heard about yet.

last time we played them in Adelaide we omitted jsos was sub. i doubt it will happen this time but i do wonder if they'll be tempted to repeat it and somehow jsos comes out. I need to know because I picked jsos to kick a goal in our goal kicking comp...(really important stuff).

 

[OldBlueFan]

In the same boat.

Can see my tickets on line, can’t download them.

About to march over the Torrens & get things sorted.

Apologies if someone has already suggested, but if they're an image file, you could just right-click and "save image as" ...

Sorry, disregard, I see you got them now ... Enjoy!

Back in your lane- Thy is well capable of explaining /defending himself, doesn’t need your help

Is he, Is he really??

Maybe along lines of north game...maybe dont want to play them on their terms...north game was thought out by Voss
they were hot early,CFC worked thru their fuel [norths]tickets once they had cooled,however CFC also cooled themselves only north get a second wind...

will also be a game of tactics.....they got better forwards than north,maybe thats all

Ed can tag as he did with north....Crows might want to come out and attack....got to defend,absorb,figure them out quick,shut them down,let them squander energy.,.....evenually efficiently outworking them.....

looking forward to the game.....and dont know really how it might play out.....i dont think they can wipe CFC off the park tho at any stage

 

[NewDarkNavyBlues]

If we win this game we are the real deal. There, I said it. Crows I rate as a finals side and particularly on current form in their back yard. Come on blues!

 

[Aphrodite]

hey mods! which post is the team in? remember when we used to do that? well? fmd...........

what happened to the team list aph stickied at the top of each page?

seems to be hijacked by a marcmurphy3 post....

It was stickied.


Fixed now.

Some people need to get their facts straight especially with something so integral on the line.
