I like the Crows and think they can get up by about 3 goals.

 

[Cyclonus]

Crows won this last year but I'm worried about the goal kicking in the conditions.

 

[Bald]

Judging by the weather report it's going to be a real wet slog. We're 2 from 3 this year in those sorts of games. Our defense has been pretty strong and Adelaide have obviously been electric up forward.

Going to be a corker.

 

[Go the Guts]

For both the Carlton and St Kilda games I predicted a genuine 50-50 game. Ended up in smashings to us but both games at home.
This one at Ballarat, where we won last year, is another genuine 50-50 game.
As it's down there, I'll be surprised if it's much bigger than 2 goal margin.

 

[_Mike_]

I wouldnt be surprised to see this game go down the wire, 7-10 point margin for the winner

 

[1972championsofaust]

Crows won this game last season in windy/cold conditions…… And are a vastly better outfit this season!

 

[_Cerberus_]

As much as the Dogs have improved defensively the last few weeks across the field. Teams who move the ball quickly, have exposed the Dogs at times this year, even during some of our wins. Adelaide look to be one of the better teams at moving the ball from one end to the other. They were very clinical against what was the best defensive team last weekend.

I think the Crows will kick a decent score. So the question will be, which Dogs forward line shows up to match them? Dogs have struggled to make inside 50s count this season, and are prone to inconsistency. If the Dogs win the midfield battle, slow the Crows ball movement, and the forward line functions, Dogs should win. Also rate us a chance if it rains, as long as we are not top heavy in talls.

If the Crows move the ball with ease all day, and the Dogs butcher their forward entries. The Crows will get up. Would not surprise me if Crows win by a fair margin here either. First of three big tests for the Dogs over the next three weeks. The in form Crows, Gold Coast who are good at home, and then their bogey team in the Cats. Win a couple of those, then top four is a decent chance.

Dogs have played outside a few times so far this season. I think almost of all of them have been wet/raining? Does not look to change this weekend. Going to be a very cold and wet one.

 

[Doggy]

Adelaide haven't actually played away from home that much .. 3 times, and they lost 2 and Hawthorn should have made it 3.

Weather is meant to be cold, windy and wet. I'd be surprised if they could move the ball fast

yeah..lucky to get over the line v the hawks but should have put GWS away in the 1st half much like with collingwood at home and didn't. When we click and hit the scoreboard we are formidable, when we have the yips in front of goal, we are in trouble

Same could be said about GWS though. They won the second half convincingly and weren't particularly accurate

point was if we were 8 goals up at half time, in that heat it would have been much much harder to come back from..we threw that one away with horrid 1st half kicking to keep them in it and they then got up by a couple of goals

 

[1972championsofaust]

Rachele,Pedlar,Rankine,Saligo,to run rampant in the wet!

I mean... the dogs go alright in the wet.

I guess you could’ve pinched the gather round game in a steady rain?

Should have...

Richmond was in the rain

GWS was in the rain

It's rained in most of our outdoor games recently

 

[VictorianCrow85]

Lots gets made of the Crows inaccuracy in that one, whilst it's true we could have probably put enough scoreboard gap on to ice the match the element that gets overlooked is the 36 degree heat. Towards the last 5 minutes of the 1st half you could see the Crows defensive running completely drop off. I'd say GWS managed their energy a bit, we played more like a young side ready to go but didn't play the conditions smart it was GO, GO, GO and whilst it worked as we fatigued the match shifted.

Just my take.

As for this weekend coin toss type game imo, hoping we find a way as that would really unlock our season as a real finals chance.

Crows won this game last season in windy/cold conditions…… And are a vastly better outfit this season!

The game last year was a warm, sunny April day.

 

[mattwa]

Doesn't seem like it's going to be too wet on the day looking at the forecast

 

[1972championsofaust]

The game last year was a warm, sunny April day.

And I quote from the AFL Match Report:
ADELAIDE has clung on to record its third win of the season, defeating the Western Bulldogs by just one point on Saturday.

It was an error-strewn game in cold and gusty conditions in Ballarat, and goalkicking was an issue for both sides in the 8.15 (63) to 9.8 (62) result.

Have you just added your own edits and passed it off as a quote?

Surprised you didn't add in "and Adelaide would totally win this game again next year by at least 100 points if it were played in May."

 

[Osho]

I hope conditions on Mars are not too brutal.

I think Crows might tackle too much for Dogs. This would be a nice little scalp for them. But not easy with Dogs coming into form.

Crows by 2.
