Sorry to intrude, but we'll be lucky to field a proper side by Friday. You should be getting more optimistic as the injuries pile on.

Did you forget the umpiring the last time we played you guys at Etihad? Finals were on the line for us too. We still got smashed by the umps that night. We're the last team to get the run of the umps.

Surely this is not about Francis right?

Well done Crows!!

If you guys are talking about revenge, why not last year when West Coast beat you at home? That directly cost you a top 4 spot In summary, just win :D

We fielded a VFL standard team because we had too many injuries. I think we barely even had enough players to choose from that game. Funnily enough, Ross Lyon was coach of St Kilda at the time. So could he return the favour? ;)

I was just mentioning the source. I used the term reported regarding the speculation. Didn't say that the website reported that he will be out.

It was reported on AFL's website by Lee Gaskin

I think Ambrose went on Tex in the second half

Well we have the second best (and most efficient) forwardline this season for a reason. It's not your defence that won't allow it. It's probably your midfield if they get well on top.

Which is why I said that Adelaide could score 140+. We can't make it a shootout because we'll probably lose that. We're likely going to bring in Craig Bird for that exact reason. Our midfield need to run both ways for us to win the game instead of making it a fast paced shootout.

At Etihad, our scoring shots with the current forward set up (so not including any game before round 8): 19.11 - 125 vs West Coast 19.17 - 131 vs Port Adelaide 11.16 - 82 vs Brisbane 17.16 - 118 vs St Kilda 20.12 - 132 vs North Melbourne 13.19 - 97 vs Bulldogs We tend to score heavily at...

The first game after everyone found about the drug saga was against Adelaide in 2013: Round 1 - AAMI Stadium Adelaide 11.16 - 82 Essendon 18.9 - 117 It was a good game. But yeah that one was the Hird being sacked game. Horrible game

If the ball gets there. 81-31 inside 50s lol.

Josh Green will probably get his usual 2-4 shots at goal (probably 1.3 or 2.2), but that's about it. Fantasia doesn't only provide goals, but he provides manic forward pressure, is a great set shot and rotates through the midfield at times to give us some speed. Huge loss that Green will...

I would've said "turn on the sprinkles EFC and open the roof" to keep you guys from thrashing us, but seeing what you did to Port, Freo and Bulldogs in the wet, I'm taking that back. Maybe we should station fans all around the ground to really emulate the windy Tassie weather ;)

Don't ask me how I got to this thread, but I'll let you in on something. Don't tell anyone *Looks around* We smashed West Coast and Geelong too (well we were up 40 point at 3/4 time) Shhhhh

The 19th man can be your downfall tonight. West Coast found that out the hard way. The boos will definitely fire the boys up. It'll make a run-of-the-mill home and away game into a cut throat must-win finals like game for the boys. Boo at your own peril Crows fans because what's coming after...

Be honest. What will you guys do if you lose? Hawthorn was our last opposition melts, so it's getting a bit dry (drought likely to continue tonight for us unfortunately). Here are my melts for tonight. HOW WAS THAT DELIBERATE? ADELAIDE'S 19TH MAN BOG SO FAR WHO IS ON BETTS! TF. [Insert name...

Oh yes. "Not keeping records". Sounds better than "shredding" so I'll take it :thumbsu:

I said let me have this will you

Haha well that got us a lot of confidence. We even fudged the records of a "supplement" regime and got away with... oh wait

Hey Crows, Wanna know something depressing? We played in a grand final more recently than you! And we haven't even won a final since 2004 XD (Let me have this. We have nothing else other than 1993 on you guys). That and Saturday night XD

My thoughts are that Zaharakis will be linked to Adelaide's.... demise on Saturday night! Boom In all seriousness, I don't think he'll leave Essendon, especially with the salary cap to increase. He is just very Essendon from the get go. Stayed through the saga, so I can't see...

But the real question is, did you have to defend brave ball movement like ours so far? :cool: And I'm not talking about them silly Giants that were too scared in front of a big crowd. That's coward ball movement. Or them Port nuffies that are too busy searching for a fight. That's precious ball...

Though it really matters little for the upcoming game, I do find stats pretty interesting, so I had a look at our ladder positions every year that we played Adelaide in Adelaide considering that Adelaide and Essendon games are very lopsided in favour of the home side. Bolded years are Essendon...

Haha yeah I can tell. We've been fairly rubbish plus the saga stuff so no surprises that some opt out on our games. I admit that I don't know Adelaide's list as well as some other clubs so I can't really comment too much on it. For example, I have no idea what no JJ and McGov means for your...

Yeah he has been a real find for us. One of my favourite players. He worked very hard to be where he is. Every time he gets the ball, we look like hitting the scoreboard. Pretty underrated in the wider community.

That's because we beat Carlton a lot :P You really underestimate how crap we are in the rain. We lost to Melbourne in the rain in 2012 while we were 8-1 and they were 0-9. We're too inconsistent to string a couple of games in a row so Carlton is the one we usually win. That and we have been...

Not to criticise too much on an opposition board, but that's probably the least knowledge that I've seen about Essendon's list in a while. Hooker hasn't played defence in a year and a half and Merrett is probably behind Heppell as our best player. He is damaging with his vision, quick thinking...
