Prediction Changes vs Swans Round 5

[wraglesweb]

Crows beat the Swans in clearances and contested possession. I'm not sure we can do that to their midfield group...but I didn't think the Crows would be able to either.

Crows spread the clearance workload really well and Sydney seemed very reliant on Hanners and Kennedy by comparison.

I think there is a strong case for Hutch to hold his spot even if Priddis comes back in.

That will be there big focus to win contested ball will be tough a game

Not nearly as wide as mcg so hoping it's ok. Worried there won't be space for our ball movement though

Only 5m difference in width between the SCG and MCG, with Subi being 14m narrower than the SCG. At 155m long after the redevelopments, the SCG is only 1m shorter than the Gabba and 5m shorter than the MCG. It's a bit of a myth that it's a small ground when in fact there is more space there than other grounds such as Etihad or Adelaide Oval.

This would be our biggest away win in sooooo long.

We beat the Tiges and Port away last year but, given how those teams have travelled since, the sheen has really come off those wins for me.

We badly need a win to kickstart our belief that we can come away with the 4 points on these difficult road trips.

Definitely winnable, but I think we are likely to be outplayed on a foreign ground.

But, but, it looks pretty small!

So long gone are the days where it was a 45m line?

There backline is vulnerable however there midfield is fantasic and there forward line is very good .....we should win the ruck though !

and on a half size ground the mid field is 75% of the game area

Still the shortest ground in the AFL and 20 metres shorter than Subi

Well the Crows isn't exactly full of stars yet they were able to bring the pressure through effort.

We have the cattle to do it just need the mental application.

I thought the Gabba was 170ish.

Agreed we have the team to win it just have to fight it out and slug it out

 

[WCE Wizard]

We need to improve the kicking at goal as well. 18.17 is still not accetable we need to be better

 

[wraglesweb]

I thought the Gabba was 170ish.

No it's short 156 i think

 

[eagles rule]

In Priddis ,Wellingham ,McInnes

Out :Hutchy ,Nelson ,Lycett

 

[Beutbrute]

 

[WCE Wizard]

In Priddis ,Wellingham ,McInnes

Out :Hutchy ,Nelson ,Lycett

Agreed with the first two. Not sure Hutchy or Duggan is lineball. Duggan is the future and Hutching was okay on Friday

Well long Gabba Stadium?

So long gone are the days where it was a 45m line?

There is even a separation between the centre square and the 50m arc now!

Took me 45 sec, but I got it

I went with Hutchy out because 3 of Redden ,Priddis and Hutchy are similiar slowish players .Duggan is more free flowing and worth pushing games into him to fast track his development .

But Hutchings does 0 to 20metres in 2.83 seconds

I think he was shot out of a cannon , on that day .
