Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 4 - Crows v Demons Thurs April 4th 7:40pm AEDT (AO)

[Strapping Young Lad]

This looks like it could be horrible scheduling for the Gather round kickstart, as the Dees should eat them alive in front of a Thursday night audience.

 

[Darksidepoints]

Does Viney have a virus?

Yes. Is isolating away from team.

 

[Billy ray]

They were once the mighty Adelaide Crows. But now they are just known as the Adelaide Crows.
Demons by 3

 

[Jibroni]

I expect a better performance from the Crows but hopefully Harry kicks 5 just to rub it in a little . The short turnaround in not ideal but hopefully we will have the legs to get over the line.

Given that they don't have to travel I wouldn't imagine the turnaround would have any effect.

No excuses for the Demons, Crows are in horrible form and it would take both a drop off in intensity from the Demons and Crows to bring pressure and heat like they’re yet to this year.

I can’t see crows doing it with their lack of personnel due to injury and they’ve dropped some players who in my opinion bring effort but lack polish. You need grunt against Melbourne.

Will still be an interesting game but I’m expecting a professional 3-4 goal win for Melbourne.

 

[McCluggages Luggage]

Last week I called Melbourne average and tipped Port by 25 points, Crows are terrible. Melbourne should win easily on Adelaide's recent form and their outs. Demons by 47.

 

[melbun]

For whatever reason these two sides play a surprising game when they meet each other.
Demons in a close one by 3 points.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Crows will jump out of the blocks and get a bit of a lead, which the Dees will peg back by half time and win by 40.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I know it's still early in the season, but I feel Melbourne will be right up there in September action. Crows are struggling with several good players from 2023 in poor form. If Melbourne are fair dinkum tonight, they should be able to win this one.

 

[Rankine2Rachele]

I think the Crows have very little chance of exorcising their Demons tonight. They’ve fallen in a hole lately, and not sure how or when they’ll be able to figure out how to claw their way back out again.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I was on the hill for last year's crows win in gather round.

Don't see history repeating.

Sorry crows

 

[Ingeniokinetic]

If Crows win today, it won't be by a lack of effort from Melbourne, but a cracker effort by them. Melbourne has been ruthless for awhile now, and tends to bank the expected wins. Crows were good last year, Melbourne tends to have a memory for those things, so even though Crows don't want 0-4 and will be feeling the heat, Melbourne does the road-trips as well as any Vic side.

 

[Swanssince91]

Dees easy, Crows stink

Yeah maybe, but I thought the same of Carlton against crows last year and that was a hoot

 

[Osho]

I'm a neutral fan fellow of Dees, the way they play, they have their mojo back, forward line looks better, they look hungry and a bit angry, and May is back in town.

Versus a malfunctioning Crows, with 5 changes, some of them necessary (Pedlar for example who looks like he has been deliberately saboutaging his own team), though with 5 changes that will present its own consistency and team sync challenges.

So Dees you'd think pretty easily.

At some point though when you've been lousy from coach through to players, a reaction has to come. I hope they can bring some of that dazzling 23 form to make it tough for the travelling Dees.

In the spirit of optimism, hope for a contest, and rennaisance, Crows by less than a goal in a boilover!

 

[Cyclonus]

If the Crows lose, hopefully it's a coach killer.

 

[The 747]

Currently watching Fox (on mute) valiantly attempt to get through 90 minutes of pre-game. It's hard to fill all that time by saying nothing much

 

[Elixuh]

Why does Petracca pronounce ‘seafood’ as ‘seafrood’. It’s frustrating.

 

[Stax on the mill]

Surely Crows have to stand up and produce something soon. Hopefully it’s tonight.

 

[Osho]

Thanks Brother, for the warm welcome.

Crows need to show some GRIT without, and FREEDOM with, the ball.

 

[Daka]

Dees stayed in Adelaide all week yeah?

 

[windyhill]

Can’t keep losing The Crows.

 

[HotPiesWithSauce]

Crows to come out breathing fire, Dees on the back foot early, both teams inaccurate but crows to scrape over the line by 10 points or less

 

[Osho]

Are Kingy's eyes getting closer together?
He'll be a cyclops by 2025.
