Preview AFL 2017 - Prelim - Adelaide v Geelong, Adelaide Oval, Fri 22/9, 7.20pm ACST

[afl genius]

Should be a cracker. Crows warm favorites and rightly so. Umps could drag them over the line with the home crowd. Cats by 7

Didn't say anything about what you deserve.
I just laugh at the whinging, given you've already got the best H+A deal around.
One cats fan even thought that you would've been 20% better had you had the extra games at KP.
Considering you lost ONE of those home games outside of KP, I wouldnt be complaining.

Put it this way 17 other teams would swap for your situation any day of the week.

Haha sloaney you are a crack up. And so full of good ideas.
You should run that idea re '17 teams' past your president-ask him to write to the afl and request only 7 home games next year. Tell him that as a supporter you are more than happy to play your own home games against the pies, the dogs, the blues, Hawks, TIges on their home grounds at the g or Etihad. The comp will applaud your generosity.
And am so excited at the thought of Eddie saying no wuz pies no longer want 15 games at the G thanks. Pies are more than happy to come and play their home game against Adelaide in Adelaide -can see Eddie jumping at that idea. Dimma too, because as you know, he was a tad grumpy about playing Geelong's home game at their home ground, struggled to get down the highway, but no problemo coming to Adelaide to play the tigs home game at football park next year. What round would you like that to be in? All good.
Keep the good ideas coming sloaney-am loving it.

How many non-Geelong Gameday threads do you talk in? Could be something in that.

I'm having a great chat with GWS supporter Bokonon_ over our thread. Friendly discussion, bit of banter, just enjoying the lead up regardless of who wins.

It's time you went back there.

 

[DrMike]

It's time you went back there.

Shared board. Don't be so disrespectful.

 

[STPer18]

Despite being our 3rd away final on the trot, we generally play the Adelaide Oval quite well, so we're every chance to knock off the Crows.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Lol, no it's not a guess. Is that what you are relying on, me knowing as much about the Cats as you do?

So you make a claim and just expect us to think it's true, even though you were hosting sides in Melbourne way before Hawthorn and North went to Tassie?
I think you are full of it myself, find us a link and change my mind.

 

[TEDDY24INC]

Says the club that gets extra money by playing home games away from KP lol

No we don't u clown

 

[Rotayjay]

My feelings about this game are changing like the weather. As the time draws nearer, I feel worse and worse about it.

 

[demondavey]

Quality bitching. Love it. Cats by 24.

 

[bmaurizio]

Cats easily, they've instilled much Xfactor play smooth and silky , looking very good.
GWS will be the other surprise and account for the Tigers, positive momentum is an amazing confidence booster.

 

[RustNeverSleeps]

The Crows are going to miss Brodie Smith and his ability to attack and hit up targets running out of defence.

Laird will now have that sole responsibility and I expect him to be targeted by the Cats. Cockatoo will probably be assigned to do a job on him and tackle him vigorously at every opportunity.

Cats in an upset.

 

[Jeff76]

Cats by 35pts just for the melts of the margin.

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Both deserving to make a GF I reckon.

Adelaide the rightful favourites however I'm not a fan of the double break. Only 2 games in a month isn't a great way to prepare for the energy Geelong should bring & be better prepared for.

C'mon Catters! (By 14)

And you're even more chance to get knocked off.

A few players you may not have heard of:
David Mackay (having his best year IMO)
Paul Seedsman
Rory Atkins
Tom Lynch
Luke Brown
Jake Lever
Kyle Hartigan
Rory Sloane

can, and do, all fill that role when required. But nice try.

Geez you Geelong dudes, we're a complete team, have been the best team this year for a reason, it didn't happen by accident.
Pretty easy to forget that, especially when you want to I spose.

 

[winty]

Crows will crush them- will be over by half time.

LOL. This from the tips thread....

Cats come out of the blocks with 4 quick goals, crows looking rusty post double bye. Sloane gets Selwood HTB in the 50, slots it. Crows gets going, crows start to move the ball
Cats lead 4.1 25 to Adelaide 2.2 14

Crows kick first goal as Lynch runs into open goal- game on. Goal for goal in a tight affair, with Dangerfield going goalless but taking a few big grabs up fwd kicking 2 behinds. Even contest going into half time
Cats 7.5 47 lead Crows 5.6 36

 

[Cats408]

Doing the drive across to Adelaide tomorrow so should be a great experience...GO YOU CATTERS!

You clearly do not rate Brodie smith very highly if you think all the players you just listed can fill his role.

I'm rooting for Geelong!

I'm a Port supporter and can't stand the Crows whinging about anything that goes against them on field, Listening to Triple M Adelaide and having my ears pumped full of cocky s**t from Andrew Jarman and the likes about how they're flag favorites etc. If that's not enough, you must have done a special favor for the umps this year because the amount of soft free kicks you've received is bloody ridiculous.

I'm praying the Cats bring you crashing back down to earth tonight, I hope Dangerfield, Duncan, the Selwood's and even Stevie Motlop smash the Crows in the midfield since everyone's been going on about how good it is...

Tell that to Sydney and West Coast last week.

 

[Always Ballin]

Cats by 11. I just feel Geelong's star power is going to get them over the line. Chris Scott is willing to pull the trigger at any moment. Don Pyke will stick to his structures and be behind the eight ball. Danger up forward is a trump card Pyke will be ready for, but that's okay... Because Scott has already planned 3 moves ahead. It's a chess and checkers relationship.

 

[Ned_Flanders]

No we don't. Why do oppo supporters post dumb things that prove their ignorance?

One of your own posters said last week the afl gives you secret paper bag payments to play games at the g

Thats the benchmark for stupid, and DangerSloane was well short of it

Cats will have this wrapped by 3qt

Can't wait for the annual Crow melts at 11 tonight.
