Bloods to win by 11 points

 

[Callipygian]

As I just posted in the other thread - I have a good feeling about this game. We simply have to beat Richmond. And we will!

 

[hairy biker]

Bring this sort of energy & enthusiasm lads;



As I'm sure most remember that was the game we had late changes due to covid and Rowy came into the 22 after playing a full game in the reserves the day before.

Adversity = opportunity.

 

[Punts]

Should be a cracker

 

[Jewelsbon]

Just under 2 years younger on average
Parker our only 30+yo???

I think we're up for the fight!

 

[Muddiemoose]

Going to be a very interesting game with both teams quite a few outs especially to talls and key players

Both midfields looking good so should be a cracker of a game

Good luck to the bloods and hopefully it’s a good contest with no injuries
Looking forward to it

Ditto - no more injuries to either Club.

Neither midfield is exactly firing, so will be a test for both.

 

[Keystone agony]

Which 2 in your opinion is pushing to the back 7?

Mills, Cunningham or a KPF (HMAC, Amartey, Mcdonald)

Fox, Blakey, Lloyd, Florent, Campbell seem the definite 5

 

[Donza]

Game looking predominantly dry now.

Going by the Crows game its going to be fast .

 

[The King!]

wont miss the Harry Potter s**t

 

[Donza]

Game sold out.

Muddie my moose... we are ****ed with our backline outs and if it rains, I can't see us scoring 20

 

[Dan87]

Sell out is epic

Hopefully an epic win let's go

 

[Muddiemoose]

Muddie my moose... we are ****ed with our backline outs and if it rains, I can't see us scoring 20

It’s going to be the battle of the smalls
We have Riewoldt who is pretty much cooked these days and Ryan who is promising but green as *
He is a tall campaigner at like 205cm but if it’s wet I doubt he will stick his marks but due to your undersized backline he may get a few free kicks

Both sides ruck development is completely ****ed so will be interesting how that plays out

Supercoach ! and how can you follow 2 clubs

 

[bedford]

Going by the Crows game its going to be fast .

Big band of rain going through Ceduna now , depends how long it get's to Adelaide

 

[Donza]

Big band of rain going through Ceduna now , depends how long it get's to Adelaide

Around 12 hours for that band to impact Adelaide.

 

[RUNVS]

The only way to win tonight is to attack. If we expect our defence to absorb pressure like we often do we are going to lose as this weeks defence won't be able to do that. Attack is the only way we are going to win, keep the ball as far away from our defence as we possibly can.

 

[bedford]

Around 12 hours for that band to impact Adelaide.

Really , it's not that far , but hoping your right

 

[BloodySwan]

Our best will blow the tigers apart even with our outs, but our worst is pedestrian.

I'm hoping for more of our 2022 than our 2023

 

[Donza]

Really , it's not that far , but hoping your right

Yeah its 600kms away or so.
Thats usually 12 hours for a normal trough.

This is the latest run from AXS-C. Its a super high resolution model that only works to 36 hours out.
This is accumulating precip.
Time stamp at bottom. 1am Saturday EST. You can see the bulk of the moisture is to the south and north of the city.

Going of the BOM radar, I'd be surprised if it wasn't raining in Adelaide by 6pm.

I hope you are right though.

Yeah when it all comes down to it. Mark one human eyeball is the best weather forecaster.

 

[Bombfire]

Was hoping to see Francis get a game tonight - injured or battling form ?

 

[Bloods86]

Was hoping to see Francis get a game tonight - injured or battling form ?

Injured, minor. Has been one of the better performers in VFL, but playing up forward (since we have few other options at that level). If he was fit, I'd have brought him in as a forward over McLean (although he'd surely have played back). Once we get the injury list down, he'll probably switch to defence, which is where we want him to play.
