Our lack of games on the G does worry me - you guys used the space of the ground and really carved us up, if we don't adjust to it, we will get smashed there.

Not many Crows fans are doing much pumping. We're all very happy with how things are going but no one is already claiming our 3rd flag.

For starters, I know a ton of Crows fans & never have I heard them say we are premiership contenders. The Bandwagoner's tend to come out & say it, when actually the real supporters are just loving the improvement & 180 spin on last years performance.
I myself have been a fan since day 1 & all I've wanted is wins on the board & Crows to beat some big scalps this year. The only time people should be considering premiership contention is when the finals actually start. Calling it after Round 7 for any team, regardless how good they are is very premature.
This year has shown alone that early year ladder predictions are out the window.

Best chance is at AAMI in round 9, but still on current form the Crows are an outside chance at Etihad in round 8.
There is a whole thread about how BigFooty posters can safely disregard any wins by Adelaide when considering Adelaide's form:

On this basis, Adelaide haven't beaten anyone yet, because Adelaide don't actually have any wins which "count".

real thing, Dangerfield is brilliant.
What is? The reason for the Adelaide-based Hawthorn supporters? I have no idea what you're trying to say here

While we're playing well at the moment, we have a healthy list (touch wood). If we had half the injuries that some of the other clubs have, we'd be a basket case. We simply can't afford to lose ANYONE in defence or the midfield, or probably the the ruck either.
Two or three injuries to key personnel, and the results of the past two weeks would be very different. We simply don't have the depth of the other clubs in the eight at the moment.

Whilst i agree to a point, our depth isn't that bad. We still have Thompson, mckernan and lynch to come into our side if need be to add some height. In the midfield we still have Douglas and Vince to come back in and if need be we have experienced afl harden bodies in knights and symes.
Our current ladder position certainly inflates our position but it's nice to know we do have some options.

Yep this week will be the final measuring stick imo. Didn't do all that well against the Hawks, but they took care of Sydney at the SCG and murdered the Cats. I'd rate them depending on how they go next week. If they can win, or even lose by a small margin, then with their improvement coupled with a few declining teams and a bit of a soft draw you can basically settle them nice and comfortably in the top 4, 5th at worst. I do think that Carlton, WC, Hawthorn and Collingwood are all better than them though, and that Adelaide are probably around the same mark as my team, maybe a rung above Sydney.
I said 5th or 6th at the start of the year, still think that's around the mark.
Very good signs though; if we can keep our list together, next few years should be exciting.

Next Sunday will say a lot about both Carlton and Adelaide. They seem susceptible to getting thrashed in Melbourne by the top tier sides.
If they lose Thompson or Jacobs, they are probably in a bit of trouble. Love the way both of them are playing at the moment, and Tippett's form has been great this year (apart from shanking a few in front of the sticks).

Carlton and Collingwood are their crunch games. At the moment I am still of the opinion that Geelong is playing shit footy, and the Swans are also up and down (plus Goodes went down).
There are still a few sides who only have one or two losses, and they haven't all played each other much. (I think Essendon, with WC, Carlton and Pies have played the most?)

Carlton is the team I really fear can tear us a new one. Our defence is so slow and the blues mosquito fleet should have a field day.
I just don't feel we match up well with against them.

Hawks have had Pies, Cats, Eagles (away), Adelaide and Sydney. Probably similar in difficulty.

Tougher, I would say. Though they are only 4 and 3.
They are like the Hawks . Just building slow paced to come home at the last turn.
But of course they,ll run into the mighty hawks.
No Walker robs me of confidence for the next fortnight

It makes it harder but we're not a one-man team, shouldn't hopefully make too much difference.No Walker robs me of confidence for the next fortnight

Not a one man team sure, but having Tippett and No Walker is a worry. I'm confident about the Collingwood game (at home) even without Walker but Blues away may be a big ask.
Not a one man team, but our entire structure is built around Walker and Kurt.
Need Lynch or SMcK to come in and play the role.
