4 more days!!

[Porps_is_HOT_loz]

Not including today (because its nearly the end of this day), there is 4 more days till the Dubai action starts between Adelaide and Collingwood.

So nows the time to ask some questions.
1. Will Adelaide win?
If yes, by how much?
If no why and how much will Collingwood win by.
2. Which players do the Crows need to keep quiet?
3. What will our lineup be?
4. Will any youngsters get a chance in this match?


MY ANSWERS
1. Yes by 10 points. I think the Crows will just get over the line but wont win the next game against WCE/Freo.

2. There main forwards eg Rocca and Davis and there speedies like Lockyer, Didak, Medhust so on....

3. I'll have a think about it I'll post it when i've finished

4.Yes, young Jacky because what Craigy said on the 7 news yesterday sounded convincing Tippett and Sellar.

All the best Crows​

CARN YOU CROWS!​

If we dont include the 3 days after today then its only 1 day

1. We will win by 20 odd points, dont think Micky's takin it too seriously, also their defence may be a bit suspect without Prestie, so our forwards won't be too out classed.
2. Don't think roccas going to play, so I would say Dale Thomas would be a good one.
3.
B: Johncock Rutten Stevens
HB: Symes Bock Mcleod
C: Reilly Goodwin van Berlo
HF: Burton McGregor Edwards
F: Porplyzia Sellar Jericho
R: Maric Thompson Knights
I: Griffen, Tippet, Jacky, Shirley, Vince, Mackay, Moran, Douglas
If Gill is fit(hasn't been ruled out by the club yet) I would play him instead of Moran.

4. So in that, I've got Sellar, Tippet, Jacky, Mackay debuting, Moran and Symes making their debuts for the club.

Sounds fantastic.

Was going to post my lineup but it looks nearly identical

So my lineup is yours too

 

[Farmy]

I am confident the crows will win, IMO they will be a little more advanced in preperation than the Pies

I do not expect to see too much of Goody, Edwards or Shirley in the midfield, I suspect Craigy will give plenty of midfield time to Knights, VB, Radar, Douglas and maybe Symes..

Forward structure, IMO, Jacky will play across HF, Burton as a leading forward rayher than a HF, Tippett and Sellar will get opportunities up forward, given the youngsters in the midfield, I expect Goody and Edwards to spend a fair bit of time across HF

I think you have the 26 spot on. I would be dissapointed if any of these didn't play. Like the rest of you I can't wait. Living OS is tough when footy is on. Please can someone torrent it!!

 

[Porps_is_HOT_loz]

Yea that 26 is deffiently spot on and I would be sad if they didnt play either!!

Hopefully Jacky and Sellar get a good run out there.

Carn u CROWS!

Couldn't argue with that, the likes of Goody, Mcleod and Edwards would be better for the run, but I don't expect them to do very much, probably a lot of forward time, see what they can do.

Don't bet on a win here people cause (as I've already stated on another thread) NC was on the radio last evening saying he's not going into the game to win, but to try young players to see what we've go.

So don't be too disappointed if we don't win eh?

 

[Coopers]

Gallman?

The forgotten star of the preseason?

I'd love to see him have a crack.

 

[WALL-e]

looking forward to this very much,

I have been hanging on crow girls every word and looking at the pics at work now i get to see them come to life, cmon boys

unfortunatly i have a gig that night so ill end up watching the taped game at 3 in the morning trying not to yell too loud to wake the neighbours up

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

i bet we'll lose and itll be another 6 weeks till we see them.

 

[Ferris_rules]

3 hours 7 hours and 50 mins.


The return of the Adelaide Crows.


Arguably the most anticipated season since the purge of '96 by the messiah !

1. Who cares. Its only preseason. Lets have some fun and start complaining about things when the regular season is on.

2. They've got some real firepower. It wont be easy shutting down the likes of A.Didak, Marty Clarke, Dale Thomas, Travis Cloke and co.

3.

B Johncock - Rutten - Stevens
HB McLeod - Gill (if healthy) - Bock
C Reilly - Goodwin - Edwards
HF Goodwin - McGregor - Van Berlo
F Jericho - Burton - Thompson
R Tippet - Vince - Knights
INT Sellar - Maric - Moran - Jacky - Griffen - R. Shirley - Symes - Doughty

4. Yes, I think most of them. Jacky, Sellar, Tippet, Symes and co

 

[Ekulman]

can't wait.
Wouldn't be surprised if the crows win, we never do that well in the pre-season games.

still it'll be good to see some of our young guns get a gig.
Look out for Chris Dawes and Nathan Brown in defence

Hey, I haven't seen if the 30 man squad has been named for the game yet, but I was wondering what people thought the chances were of Dangerfield playing.

The club may recognise that this game may be the only chance people will have to see him all year. Also if he's going back to Melbourne after the Dubai trip than he can take the place of someone like Doughty and than let Mick play in the other practice games.

 

[betterthanu]

If its true that theres 6 new players in the side then i think its either him or walker that will be that last spot.

The squad will be named later this afternoon

Is that polo surface up to AFL standard? I know the kind of damage horses can do to turf.

They haven't had horses on the surface for quite a few weeks and it seems from the tv reports last night that the surface looks to be in very good knick.

 

[RangaInTeal]

My two most hated and despised teams are playing in the most anticipated match of the year for me!

Question 1, will you win... no, sorry, Colloingwoods kids too good

Question 2, Need to keep Jackay, Tippet, Douglas and Van Berlo quiet for Dream Team Purposes! from Collingwood, Thomas, Russling, Brown and Pendelbry will win the game for them!

Question 3, Lineup,
B: Johncock Rutten Stevens
HB: Symes Bock Douglas
C: Reilly Campbell Knights
HF: Jericho McGregor Edwards
F: Porplyzia Tippet Jacky
R: Maric Thompson van Berlo
I: Griffen, Sellar, Burton, Doughty, Vince, Mackay, Moran, Curnow

That is good news, you wouldn't want any players to be injured in the pre-season.

If its Collingwood's home game this weekend I'm expecting us to wear these uniforms. Our preseason away uniforms.
