This gon be ugly

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Ok, who voted for the Crows to win?

 

[schmuttt]

Crows normally play well against us and their season is on the line. I know they’ve been shit in the first three games but I expect them to come out pretty hard.

 

[Mr Meow]

A "season on the line" home ground special by the Crows.

If not, time to prepare for 2025.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Camry’s played gather round last year like it was their grand final.

I think this will be closer than form suggests.

 

[ep12]

Adelaide will come out on fire youd think, the Gather Round opener against Carlton last year was scary good.

Dees need to make it a slog and make Adelaide play in contest all day which they arent great at. 3-15 when Adelaide score less than 100 points.

 

[PCORF]

I think Adelaide will try harder, but unsure if they have what it takes against their more experienced opposition. Yes, we have beaten Melbourne before so that is one positive. Steven May

could be Adelaide's problem. Melbourne's backline will destroy Adelaide's forward line of they cannot move the ball correctly. You bomb it in there, then Melbourne's key defenders will have a party. You need to have your forwards lead out and also midfielders need to take more risks too. It is really do or die for Adelaide this week.

 

[AWarGuy]

We will either compete for half a game and get blown out, or get blown out from the start.

One of these options depends on selection, which I expect to be poor given Nicks. Our current saving grace is that our defence is really solid, but since our midfield are plodders we can only hold for so long.

 

[My Tilly]

Interesting game.
Just can't see Adelaide sustaining it for long enough against arguably the best midfield core in the competition. Gawn will annihilate O'Brien in ruck.

 

[skinnyP]

How often are we reminded that a week is an eternity in footy? Crows in an upset.

 

[The 747]

Obvs Demons on form but at some point the Crows will play some decent footy. Hard to see them beating Melbourne, even at home.

R.I.P. Gather Round - killed by the MFC 2024

 

[Go the Guts]

Camry’s played gather round last year like it was their grand final.

I think this will be closer than form suggests.

No, we just beat an unbeaten Carlton by 10 goals. It wasn't that big a deal.

 

[Go the Guts]

Interesting game.

Yes they will do us. But Gawn won't annihilate O'Brien. Gawn will beat him around the ground due to his superior marking but O'Brien has become a clearance machine in close, getting 9 clearances on his own against Geelong. He is also ahead of Gawn for Hitouts and Hitouts to advantage - O'Brien ranked 2nd and Gawn 3rd in the AFL atm. Gawn will probably beat him, but O'Brien is also pretty damn handy.

I reckon Gawn will finish with 18 disposals, 7 clearances, 38 hitouts, 6 marks and I'm still undecided on whether or not he kicks that set shot goal from about 40 out.

Adelaide by 44

 

[Dez!]

Interested what happens if May comes back in?

If they want to move Petty forward then JVR may have to make way, but that leaves us without someone to give Gawn a rest.

McDonald may be the unlucky one even though he's been quite solid down back.

I'd rather rest May though given he's only had a week off for broken ribs.

 

[Zevon]

If you watched both of these sides for the last few weeks you wouldn’t even back the Crows with Wosh’s money.

 

[melbun]

It is really do or die for Adelaide this week.

You have covered most of the possibilities.

Die is the preferred option.

 

[OxfordCambridge]

Got to wonder if a hammering here could be the beginning of the end for "Snake Oil Stevie".

Kojak and the fools on the AFC board that re-signed him need to be held accountable for their inexplicable actions.

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Why would JVR make way? May in for Hore, Petty forward as it was vs Hawks.

 

[Dez!]

Why would JVR make way? May in for Hore, Petty forward as it was vs Hawks.

Then you've got JVR, Petty and Brown which is quite tall and I don't think is sustainable just because it worked against Hawthorn.

 

[Ingeniokinetic]

Does Viney have a virus?
