Bit partial to the odd pie floater...... In this neck of the woods, the only pie you'll get is one laid by a cow.......

And the potential pick of the bunch never got a real run at it.

Agreed. Very sad.

 

[crowsup]

It actually has over 700. The rest seem to be taking a while to get to Adelaide. Like everything else.

Victorian cyber-space must be as slow as your wit?

Oh, I don't know. It's taken you 9 hours to come up with that scorching sabre of derision.

I rate Carlton's kids, they are awesome and pretty much THE BEST kids that are up and coming of all 16 clubs. But I am amazed at the ignorance in some of these posts of some of the crows youngsters as well. Clearly not watching football matches CLOSELY enough and UNDERSTANDING how good a player is and WILL be. You can't just say "oh I havent seen him therefore he is no good" or things like that. Staggered ppl don't know about MacKay, just purely and utterly staggered. Watch the NAB cup? or any of the games he has played so far this season. Terrific player who has slotted right in and is on the VB and Reilly path in terms of development. Vince, Douglas as well especially the former who is going to be a very good player.

Not a lot seems to wash across the border, that is well known but it is time for some supporters of EVERY club to start watching games a bit more closely and appreciating the talent out there rather than the usual immature cheap shot '
'mine is bigger than yours'.

But back to the gameday - I am tipping the crows but not by a lot 10-15 points. Blues have a terrific ability to run and expose us down the guts if they get going and deliver to Fev quickly on the lead- Truck is too slow to stop him there but force the midfield into error with our best asset, our defensive pressure on the player, crowding their space and forcing the turnover, we should be ok. Truck will kill fev body on body if it comes to that. We should emplore Terry's triange and flood the midfield will absolutely kill Calrton's run.

this could potentially be the game of the round - it's getting hyped up, carlton are on a good form patch, and adelaide are out to prove themselves worthy of finals once again. should be a cracker!

Well said

What's the weather like over in Melbourne today guys? Is there any chance of wet weather footy today at the G. I'm only asking because i'm worried that if it does rain we will lose our home ground advantage to a certain degree.

 

[Rave Slave]

Good game thus far Blues.

BTW if we were to *shock horror* lose - I'll be here to cop it sweet

 

[Silvagnis]

I expect one hundred posts bagging Russell for his misses on the run, but not much about Gibbs turnover with the kick in.

It's the Bigfooty way.

Maybe our forum has jinxed Russell - he really had the chance for some icing but he is not the only one to miss gimme. I think we now know that Gibbsy is not up to kicking in at present - our kick ins in general have been pathetic

 

[Silvagnis]

We're struggling if we need the young players to win us the game and they're doing more than Judd and Stevens.

Where the ____ is good Fev?

flipping fev, he gets too bloody sooky!

Think they've killed us in the ruck and centre clearences, umpires have flipping killed us as well 10 to 2 for the last quarter Biggest load of horse shit, I think everyone bar the umpire saw the chop on fevs arm in 3rd quarter!?

AND WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT 2 GOAL FREE KICK!? WAITE PUNCHED THE BALL WHEN IT WENT THROUGH FOR A GOAL AND APPARENTLY THATS A FREE KICK!!!!!?

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

That over the shoulder goal to Vince gets me when Fev is monstered by Bock and no whistle. The umpiring has been terribly against us in the second half. Very undeserved punishment in the end.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

We need people to remember how down we have been for fresh legs today with Thornton and Hartlett gone early. They are exhausted out there.

surely you are joking. Frees were 15-5 your way at 3/4 time. We got some lucky ones in the last quarter (Waite goal and that one on Bock), but it only evened up. Umpiring had no influence on the result. None

Very lopsided, but everyone gets frustrated with their inconsistency. It's not the ones they do pay, but it can be the obvious ones they don't. However, I do agree that the umpiring had no bearing over the game. Adelaide were far too good for us today.

ive had it with you adelaide supporters!!! playing close games is not a measure of our good your team is!!! it just means you don't have enough firepower to get over the line, and you are unable to put your opposition away!!

FFS! Collingwood v Carlton would hav been a fierce encounter had we let them back in, but we kicked away!! good teams take the game when it's there for the taking. They dont just leave the game in limbo

Nice! =)

 

[fryingpan]

I'm back as I said I would.

Do we have your respect yet?

Good game, we were good enough to stop Fev and Judd thus stopping the Blues, happy with a very hard fought win

If I went to sturt I have respect?? I was actually at the Crows game.

I was actually talking about respect for Adelaide as a team.
