118 in the grand final you can be one less worse than Port Adelaide
Can Adelaide still make it?

You know your team is ****ed when you need to pull out the calculator to figure out whether they can make the eight. Time to focus on 2019 and beyond.
Port are not rated well at all though, so what does that mean?
FWIW, I think they can get there

It may not be. We specifically asked for a big club to play Canberra this year, and you're club is it.
I get the ball movement thing we were on the receiving end a couple of times last year. It has the potential to be a great exhibition, I hope it is.

think only hawthorn from the 6-12 group is almost guaranteed to make it based on their fixture. melbourne, gws, north have tough fixtures as well.
Of course we can.
We probably won't, but we certainly can.
If we beat Brisbane next week we have won 3 of our last 4 (beating eagles and Geelong) leaving 5 matches for the season of which we need to win 4 out of 5 to make finals. Meaning we would have won 7 of our last 9 if we are to make finals. So we still have a loss up our sleeves and it’s not impossible. And As history shows , the team that wins the gf usually goes on a winning streak like we would need to produce to make it.

Adelaide supporters are precious because you got offended by a Adelaide supporter saying we will beat Port? Makes sense
How are they not rated well? They are rated 4th right now, check the ladder. Any other rating is irrelevant. Crows are going to have to beat a lot of teams above them to make it, beating Eagles and Geelong is a good start, beating Melbourne and then Port would continue that trend nicely if we can knock off Brisbane next week... And leave us with a loss still up our sleeves with 3 matches to play.
Calling me sweetheart is trolling actually.

No chance at all, they could lose the next 5 in a row and probably will..The Crows only beat fellow pretender Geelong at home by 15points. No guide there to form.

It's the nicest thing I could call you after your selective post
I’ve been pretty annoyed by Adelaide’s form but most of it has been due to player availability. We will have most of our best 22 back on the park for the Showdown onwards.
No chance of losing to Brisbane next week is my tip - this is a different side to the one that lost to the Hawks/Melbourne/Freo with Lynch, Betts, Sloane, Tex, Knight, M.Crouch (form/injury), Atkins (form).
McGovern and Smith in and the only non best 22 player left is Brad Crouch.
Yeah probably Richmond. But I doubt Port will get that far. I’m tipping a Richmond vs WC grand final.
The ground to be struck by lightning.

I'd say older generation nearly exclusively. Gen Y probably the majority Port, from the people I know.
Think your predications are hampered by a bit of salt there, mate.
Brisbane aren't world-beaters, Port is a derby so that could always go either way, and you never know which GWS is gonna turn up. Every chance to make it.
Geelong fan salty? Never.
Also Melbourne aren't travelling that well at the moment.

We need to use the end of this season to reformulate and test parts of our gameplan , team selection and combinations in a reload for 2019
The team was so much more competitive with our loooong overdue injection of pace , chase and tackle .
Although even then it was forced due to senior players missing ... at least injury has allowed us to see what we have in Gallucci and Murphy is a gun .
The inclusions also kicked 6 and set up 3 between them so the benefits are not just defensive but lead directly to scoreboard gain .
Last weeks game against the Tigers at the G had to be the final wake up call that we are more top heavy than Matt Preston after back to back degustations and slower than the treacle that is attempting to work its way down his comatose cheeks and onto the safety of a now inflated cravat .
Murphy , Gallucci and Knight make the team better . Mackay , Gibson and Douglas do not .
Stick with the Kids Don , don't buckle to the stale status quo that has dominated or team selection the last 10-15 years .
