[Ari]

Genuine 50/50 game this one. As most are this weekend!

 

[Skipper_]

This game looked like being an absolute snooze feat this time last week but a little bit more interesting now.

 

[TheUnicorn]

I'm in 2 minds about this match.

We have had Adelaide measure for a while now and based off of W/L you would assume we are the better team. On face value you would think Adelaide have gone backwards, but I don't think their losses have been that bad. They haven't really versed any bad teams yet (We don't really know for sure after 5 rounds) we are guessing but after 5 rounds...

Carlton 98 -100
Melbourne 63 - 78
Fremantle 69 - 34
Geelong 77 - 96
GC 60 - 54

Those could all be top 8 teams this year and they haven't got smashed like we did vs Port.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Forgot who I tipped but I think Essendon get it done.

 

[JustaBattler]

Bombers are flying high and playing with an edge - Adelaide have had their lucky win or the season.

 

[Dangerousfield]

Essendon can't sustain the Edge for more than a week at a time. We've revamped the midfield after Nick's finally took the advice, on offer on our BF board from before game one, and we are back on a bullet.

Crows by 5 goals

Crows by 5 goals

Normally yes but I think we match up quite well against the Crows. It's a genuine 50/50.
I think it'll be a close game either way similar to how Carlton vs Adelaide went.

 

[The 747]

Not winter yet so Bombers to win.

i wouldn't call winning a single game being back on a bullet.......

but you aren't wrong about us. We are very inconsistent.

 

[Macca18]

Yeah… Crows will probably win but haven’t beaten the Bombers in 7 years (at any ground), have had one win for the season (by 2 points after kicking 16.4) and yet still go into this game $1.45 favourites.

I’m not suggesting we are the role models of consistency and success … but are they that brilliant?

As someone who gambles like crazy I definitely agree that 1.45 is far too short

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Yeah, not confident about this one. Essendon have our measure and have done for a while. Along with Collingwood, they're a major bogey side for us.

 

[windyhill]

We are up and down like a brides nightie. Crows in a close one.

It's just the home ground factor I think. On the road the Crows gave their supporters oxygen again and surely for the homecoming players and crowd will be fired up. Win this one and Adelaide's season has a pulse.

I think it'll be within a few goals either way though.

 

[SC26]

Worth noting Brad Scott has never coached a win over the Crows in Adelaide. Average losing margin of 38 points, but always a first time.

 

[BACCS]

I don't think we have actually played Essendon at AO since 2020, impossible to judge anything from then given that we were at the start of our rebuild and it was the COVID shortened game season. Essendon also with a new coach since then. Hard game to gauge given that we only got our s**t together last weekend and have yet to see it consistently.

Adelaide Oval typically isn't a bad ground for Essendon. It's just that Port are a nightmare match up for Essendon anywhere so it heavily skews our record. In fact, they beat us up worse in Melbourne than Adelaide.

We smashed Melbourne in Adelaide last year who are very good there.

But then again, Essendon have been win-loss-win-loss so far and it's been 7 year since we lost to Adelaide so I guess we're due for a loss.

 

[My Tilly]

Crows should get it done by 2 goals.

Fogarty in some form slump at the minute.

The Edge is only used in Melbourne. Doesn't travel well.

 

[Zevon]

Teams are up

 

[Golden Sun]

Crows should get it done by 2 goals.

Fogarty in some form slump at the minute.

Don't you have to have been in form at some stage to be experiencing a slump?

 

[Billy ray]

Ess in their clash yeh? ideally with red shorts, but one step at a time i guess

 

[ElectricG]

I have a bad feeling that Adelaide will smash them by 60 odd points…

 

[Elixuh]

Genuinely thought pies port game was tonight and was looking forward to it.

Why do they keep giving spud teams prime time.

Imo crows will win this by 10 goals.
