Well considering we are fielding our 4th oldest side ever, we better bloody win.

Saw the bastards at Fox Footy scheduled that dreaded ‘93 prelim to be shown again today, wouldn’t be surprised to see half our side that’s been selected for tonight actually playing in that game.
I don’t care whether we win or lose.
meh, we're going to finish somewhere between 5-10 again so who cares. at least we'll have a good draft pick thanks to Carlton's incompetence.
I’m still not sure why Mackay is playing tonight ahead of Stengle.
Mackay had six kicks last weeks against the Suns and the third lowest Fantasy point of our entire team. Yes, I don’t give a stuff about Fantasy but it’s a decent marker of game involvement and influence for a running player.
Having Stengle in would mean we wouldn’t need to run Milera or Smith through the forward line; they could instead rotate through midfield, wing and half-back where they’re both more damaging.
We’ve also got a 32.5 year old crumbing forward who looks 50-50 as to whether he plays on in 2020, can we perhaps plan for that within the current side?
Eyeroll / done
C’arn, boys - smash the Bombres.

I think Essendon will be too quick for 7s through the middle.
They are in decent form.
Sadly tipping a loss

We lose tonight then we can start the planning for 2020.
If the Essendon backs run around like unregistered dogs with little or no pressure from our forwards, all hell will break loose.

All depends which Adelaide side turns up tonight. If we get the same side as when we beat GWS and Richmond from a few weeks ago, we should win by 4-5 goals. If the lazy, undisciplined side that turned up against Port turns up we are in trouble.
I think Jenkins will play a big role in the result, he was in great form before he got injured. This is his 3rd game back now so hopefully he has his confidence back and get his hands on the ball. ROB should be able to control the ruck against Mckernan so our mids need to take advantage of his taps and get the ball into our forward line to give our forwards plenty of opportunities.
I'm predicting Adelaide by 24 points.

Too young for us to select right now.
Hard to get too enthused. Maybe seeing a different look in our midfield will encourage - not sure.
Pitiful home record this year so anything can happen. Ess have just the game to skin us. Backing us by 10 points on the back of their outs and doubts on Heppell even if he plays

What if the Power game was the anomaly in the last 2 months of footy? If so, it’s going to be an exciting clash and we’re currently the better team. Hoping to see a 5+ goal win, would add some nice confidence boost and some percentage buffer with teams outside the top 8.
Beautiful day for a game of footy! Carn’ Crows!

This is the game to get excited about. Friday night at home.
Win this and we are right back in the hunt for a top 4 spot.

Except the second half against Port mirrored the second half against Geelong the week prior

Are you high?
Win this and will more think likely still be 2 wins out of the top 4 with 6 games to go. We also have Richmond ahead of us who are only just getting started.
WCE away and Pies at home are the only top 8 sides left after tonight.
Carlton away, Bulldogs away massive danger games though.
Saints at home the only one you could bank.
We’ve no chance at all of top 4, and will need some luck just to stay in the 8

I’m not confident at all in beating Carlton or the Bulldogs and to think this is how we feel with such an old team.
When you’re this old it means your team is purring and you are a real chance or you’ve got no juniors.
Well we’ve had some horrible losses and our coaches have had to change our game plan/structures twice during the season so we aren’t a real chance.
In the SANFL we’ve got juniors we have just extended for 2-3 years who we must rate but they can’t get a look in.
Something doesn’t compute.

Bolton still at Carlton, Alan Richardson still at Saints, you mark both down as wins. Anything can happen now

I'm actually surprisingly comfortable about tonight right now. I know they like to run and gun, but those runners and gunners still need to be fed the footy.
The Port and Geelong games they beat us well and truly on the outside, but it was still the inside beasts of their teams that fed those players the Sherrin, and ROB had quite a hard time with their opposing ruckman.
This game it wouldn't surprise me to see ROB have a blinder and our inside brigade do a number on them (I like the way we match up on theirs). And for me if we win the midfield, then I can't see us losing the game!
