Game Day Round 2 - Crows vs Puppies

[LoBu]

Just one of those games Adelaide has got to win to further expunge those finals demons. I think we'll have the Dogs measure and do it by 20-25 points.

We are not going to expunge the finals Demons until we will our first final this year, probably first 2 and make a prelim before expunged.
We could finish top home and away with 25 wins and there will be questions on three talls and our midfield.

 

[cmndstab]

I'm not confident. I don't think we're firing on all cylinders at the moment and think that Collingwood aren't that great either. Made us look better than we are last week. Whereas the Bulldogs are going strong right now.

If we can win this, then I think we're in for a pretty exciting season.

 

[Bovo]

For some unknown reason, Nicks thinks Dawson is more dangerous as a forward than as a half back.
He's wrong.

He probably would love 3 of him. Back, middle, and forward. It’s also team balance. If Milera has another impactful game, then there’s more flexibility on where we should throw him, but if we are struggling down back we should be able to shift him without hurting our centre clearances

 

[ThePrideOf]

We are not favourites... lots of faith by punters in the bullies. Rankine in will be hopefully a game changer as he will be frothing.. We will win at home on a friday night with a big crowd (i hope). Glad to be coming back to teh AO for footy!

Haven't said that in a long time

The above is the difference between how we went with Rankine in the side last year as opposed to without him. Hope he aint rusty.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

So hard to read early season form particularly with the opening round bias built in.

I’m tempted to put a bit of money on us tonight after blowing out the cobwebs last week.

First half last week the players have said we were timid and conservative which was corrected at half time. Understandable for the start of the season.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Rankine is going to put the dogs down.

 

[AFC979810]

Oh, and Rankine. ****ing Rankine, biatches!!!

Going to be interesting how we manage him. I would prefer Nicks to sit him on the pine for the first 5-7 minutes of the game and let it slow down a touch. I think he is going to be absolutely desperate to make amends for last year. Ease him in.

Why? Rankine is a jet. Let him own the moment.

 

[crows dude]

Ok im ready and pumped. bring it on

 

[Geoffa32]

Is there anything slower than a Friday arvo sitting in an office before a Crows home game......

 

[NTRabbit]

For anybody being presented with "You have no events" in the Crows app when trying to get your tickets, there's a known bug impacting some Android phones that Ticketmaster found last week, didn't announce, and has no ETA on a fix.

The workaround is to login to the crows membership site on your mobile browser, and you can reach your ticket barcodes from there.

Let him run riot
He will certainly be pumped. Gee he could even be the back up ruck

It depends how hard you are working.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Sitting our best player on the bench when he is cherry ripe to make amends in a big game at home is a wild idea.

 

[bigman]

Burns didn’t shut down the talk of ROB playing tonight.

He did quash the TT back rumour though.

Listened and to be honest sounded more like he was having fun with the amount of rumours being thrown at him.

You could be right. I guess we will see soon enough.

Honestly given Soligo’s fitness I’m not totally against it. It would show how far Maley is down in the pecking order - not sure why we recruited him as isn’t this the exact scenario we got him for?

The Maley recruitment looks a bit weird right now when you consider he's not good enough ruck to be second ruck, and we went and drafted Marsh + Ludowyke.

Let's wait and see how he goes in the SANFL before we write him off. He looks size-wise like a beast.

I will have to watch the Crows v SA tomorrow.

 

[George CantStandYa]

Just sunk in we don’t have to wait to see who is going to be sub, woohoo

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Not really as it's not like we have heaps of key position depth.

We only have 2 injured players now... but unlikely to remain that way.
