Game Day Adelaide v Sydney - Backing Them In Match Thread

[Scorpus]

Betts is trying hard to make something from nothing. I know we get mad he flies for crazy marks so often, but the entries often don't give him any choice and he knows Tex/JJ won't make a contest on those sort of entries.

Betts gets a lot of unfair flack for flying at the ball when it's kicked directly to him, often 3-on-1, with no tall forwards in sight. It's not his fault he is dealt a shit sandwich! At least he's trying to get something to happen

We can win this. We should win this. I don't know if we will win this.

Thats the massive problem is that our talls fail to take big strong contested marks. Ironically the only one that could we traded away.

It's not like we did it willingly. We can reconfigure that (I don't think Fog is the answer, he's best on the lead like Tex), Greenwood will be down there soon enough I think and McAdam will hopefully be good to go at some point in the later stages of the year.

Its a problem given the way we want to play, our best contested mark are playing CHF and FF for the 2s tomorrow.

We almost seem to like playing at the SCG more than anywhere else, and have beaten the Swans there with far worse line-ups than tonight's. I'm kind of expecting us to win this. It's one of those shitty situations where you want the team to win, but also don't want the selectors to feel validated if we do win.

 

[Scorpus]

If he plays like he did last week, and that was due to injury, then it's probably best he doesn't play

CEY will provide much more on a small deck, contested footy.

 

[Crowboto]

We have a knack of giving struggling sides the win. Sydney by 30+

Jenkins could learn this from Eddie

You certainly do loves yourself some Europe.

Crows to shake off the rust and bring the same intensity as those stares. Crows +9

Exactly: I said last week that he looked as if something was wrong with him. He wouldn't have lost his skills/motivation that badly without some cause: I hope it's not serious. Certainly, I expect CEY to give much more than Gibbs in his current condition.

That is exactly how I feel.
Any confidence I had was shattered - SHATTERED - last week.
I'm now running with the glass half empty and avoiding the inevitable disappointment when they lose as badly as they did last week.

And make no mistake - last week was BAD

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

We were poor last week but Sydney were diabolical. Looked old and slow (as did we).

I didn't see the match, they couldn't have been worse than us surely, could they?

They were utter tripe, we were much better..... and thats saying something

 

[GreyCrow]

I'm waiting for some rando Sydney player other than Franklin to bob up with 4 goals.... however I reckon Eddie is kicking 5 tonight!
Let's go boys, bring home the win!

Heeney got 5 last time didnt he?

 

[Rollerball]

Using the Camporeale method of determining victory, I predict we will win by 5 random inside 50 entries.

They got going in the last when they were a long way back on the scoreboard but apart from that they were pretty terrible.

Crows reported to be going in as named last night. Club has said nobody is in doubt as per the rumours.

This time last week I was so excited and so happy that footy was back and now its stress inducing and wondering if im going to age significantly tonight and pull out more hairs.

I'm running out of TVs to break.

 

[hey shorty]

About to head off to work, not sure whether I'm upset or relieved to be missing this game tonight.

 

[MRB37]

Outside of Parker lifting them on his shoulders in the 2nd half they were terrible. We have the mids inside to hopefully make sure that doesn't happen.

Of course that probably makes it even worse if we lose, but you'd hope we're switched on tonight.

I'm not allowed to yell at the TV because it frightens the dogs.
I'm condemned to an evening of sitting with the headphones on, every muscle tense, emitting the occasional squeak, or whispered "WTF?" "who was that to?" and "EEEEDDDIEEE!".
