The Lions are kings at home and jesters away, this will be a cracking good game as the Crows are not bad at all, but Brisbane will win by 20 points

 

[PerthBoy86]

Feel either it'll be a blowout or the Crows will give them a scare: it's a danger game for the Lions, don't rule them out, finals spot on the line. Top 2 for Lions, big ramifications.

 

[Anzacpaul]

Worried with our young defense we'll get found out, and with our away record this could get ugly. Need a massive game from our midfield to restrict the Lions F50 entries if we're any chance.

media hype rubbish

Yes, their away record suggests that

Yes, their away record suggests that

A 4-6 record away this season is "jester" level? Thats typical exxageration to make a point. "Slightly less than par" might be a more accurate explanation.

Perhaps it is because everyone else wins their away games all the time ... oh wait!

 

[Hobbes]

media hype rubbish

They haven't lost at home this year. They have beaten Melbourne, Collingwood and Geelong at home. They have lost away to Port Adelaide, the Bulldogs and Melbourne, as well as a few lesser teams.

I'd say the hypothesis is looking pretty strong.

 

[Go the Guts]

Tag Neale, break even in midfield may get us to within 5 goals. Our beginner level defence will be found out sadly.

 

[Macca180]

If Crows win this, they play finals.

Lions by 23 points.

 

[Hobbes]

If Crows win this, they play finals.

Lions by 23 points.

The top four seem to be fixed, but the form lines of all of them are suspect.

It wouldn’t shock me if the premier is a 5-8 team on a winning streak - maybe Carlton, GWS, Sydney or even Adelaide.

 

[timokane]

Crows by 8 points in a real upset at the Gabba.

crows are flying under the radar.

 

[M Malice]

Lions by 60+.

 

[Crow till I die]

I am just worried they will rush Rankine back in - absolute desperation if they do as there can't be any way that hamstring is going to be ok to go after a couple of weeks

I see this going the way all of our more recent away games tend to go - we will start slow and Brisbane will come out of the blocks in a rush and will get a 5-6 goal lead which we will be trying to peg back all day and we might get within a few goals by the end but the damage would have been done early

 

[bungalow_bill]

Yes, their away record suggests that

It's mainly the MCG and even then we were all over the Dees like white on rice until our coach stuffed it up. We have an excellent record at Marvel and just last round beat a very tenacious and talented Fremantle at home. Best not to buy into group think and do some research.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

If Crows win this, they play finals.

Lions by 23 points.

Yes, this is an elimination final for us.

We have got close in our away game against the like of Dees & Pies... now we need to win or it's all about 2024.

Great test for our team against a quality side.

Reckon the margin will be within 2 goals.

 

[Go the Guts]

We're not winning anything with a backline of 2 and 3 game KPD's. Love your enthusiasm though.

 

[Hobbes]

We're not winning anything with a backline of 2 and 3 game KPD's. Love your enthusiasm though.

If Adelaide go into the finals on a five game winning streak, I wouldn't want to play against them.

 

[davos44]

Easily Adelaides biggest game for 5 years.
We have failed every test this year away from home against quality opposition.
Brisbane are chasing top 2 and will be desperate not to end up playing at the G or AO week 1 of finals.
Adelaide chasing a top 8 spot

Could be a high scoring shootout

Brisbane should have too much at home but if there is inaccurate kicking or a tiring players after a 6 day break from Perth Adelaide will swoop.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Expecting a strong challenge from a desperate Adelaide with their season on the line.

 

[PCORF]

Could be the upset of the round.

I think we can get this one, Sydney is tougher so need to win this one for a chance to make the 8. We lose and I cannot see us making the 8.

Recently wouldn't an upset being the favourite winning?

 

[Milux]

Crows are good money at 3.20. Feels like we are due for a home loss. Although getting Big O back should help us rectify that cluster* show we put on in the middle last week.

 

[JPetro83]

short turn around for the Lions from playing in WA (longest road trip in AFL)... I can feel a crows upset brewing.. i think the crows will surprise this weekend and win a close one.. Lions are due for a home loss and crows are due for an away win!
