Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - Round 12 vs. Adelaide, AO Sat 05/06 @ 4:35pm

[Capital Magpie]

I don’t think maybe was bad, he was serviceable, but kick ins count as possessions if I’m not mistaken.

Are you sure that's right?

 

[domus]

That's a glass half empty comment. What about our defence restricting last year's GFs to 8 goals for the game?

I prefer to lose by ten points and kick 15 goals like Shaw's boys-at least you have something to cheer about. If you enjoy watching your team flood back, chip sideways to keep possession and go wide every week then all power to you. I preferred watching the Rocca boys launch bombs and see us take the pill through the corridor. I went home reasonably happy most weeks knowing the wheel would turn.

Wouldn't mind seeing our team filled with potential kick double digit goals in a game.

a stat they gave on the radio, we haven’t kicked 9 goals in a match against Geelong since 2017

If they play on I’m sure it does. So it does stat pad a bit

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Out: Madgen, Brown, Wilson, Grundy
In: Adams, Stengle or Callow (if drafted) , McCreery/Elliott, Keane/Kelly

Play Keane/Kelly down back to assist Moore, use Roughead in the ruck as support to Cameron.

It's so sad that coming up against Geelong in the Malthouse era was genuinely exciting and always a blockbuster. Now it is a must avoid viewing for any neutral fan. Dour defensive rubbish.

Those are fair points but ny abiding memories of the late 90s was not one of high scoring losses. Any high scoring matches we had were outliers.

Didn't realise that. If I was playing AFL I would always be volunteering for kick in duties.

When is the mid season draft?

Those ins give me hope.

Wed night

Well there were a few outliers as you can see.

 

[magpiemaniac44]

Wed night

seems unlikely due to protocols, but do you know if any mid-season draftees would be available to play?

Will be interesting to see. I don’t think there’s anything stopping a player debuting straight away, but it will take a few weeks to settle in and learn role, tactics etc before a debut. COVID protocols aside.

 

[TradeDraft]

Good chance this game will end up being played at a neutral venue?

Heard it be at the SCG

Stats for context: In that wooden spoon season we averaged 90 for (league average 95) and 106 against. This years it’s 68 for (league average 82) and 80 against.

Crows don't need to stay in Sydney. No travel restrictions to and from Adelaide from NSW. They'll fly home after their Richmond game today.
