Crows v Richmond - can we do it?

Crows v Richmond - can Crows do it?

You would have to say it is a big ask.

Positives:
- Vardy & Johnson to return.
- Crows will be underdogs & underestimated.
- Formline is Crows 1W, Richmond 1L
- Crows have been competitive with Hawks & Carlton away - comparable teams.

Negatives:
- Still can't seem to kcick straight.
- Who do Crows drop - Welsh & Skipworth?
- Richo's confidence seems very fragile, doesn't it?
- Does our backline have enough players tall enough?

Still, if we have a good game, a win is possible. If Crows can snag it they are back on track for this season. Surely that is motive enough!

We will win, if we kick straight

Richmond are a good team

But i think we can do it

Need our stars to fire, and our other players to play at there best.

I believe in the list we have, and with richmond losing some confidence from last week, We have a good shot at it

The first quarter is crucial, they will come out hard after their big loss on saturday, hold them there, and play hard footy like against Carlton, and 4 pts is in the bag

LOL
go the crows

They can do it, but will they?

Crows are definatly able to win it. They won the same match last year. But will they??
Have the 2nd worst attack in the league.

Who will stand Richo?? And are they good enough to control his presence??

Riccuito needs to fire for a change, Vardy will be a strong addition. I think it will be a close game. Its really hard to pick who will actually come out with the goods. I think Richmond have all the players to control Adelaids danger men, but i dont think the same can be said the other way round. I dont think Adelaide have the players to hold Richmonds guns.

Ill say the score will be:
Richmond 15.10 (100)
Adelaide 11.18 (84)

geez 11.18 sounds like a decent score for us

Well, we certainly can win, but will we?? Probably no. Richmond had their pants pulled down last weekend, they lost some credibility with the disappointing loss and I think they will be desperate to atone. We must stay with them early, match them in intensity and just nag away at them.

Who to drop is a good question Crows ok. Welsh is certainly on a knife edge and with Vardy back he could make way. But with Johnson also back Skippy's position is similarly under threat. Skippy wasn't bad last week, while Welsh hasn't done much with limited opportunities. I suspect Welsh will get the chop, though for the benefit of our scoring firepower we need Welshy there I reckon. I think he also did okay last year against the Tigers, well, I remember he did at least kick the last two goals.

We will have our best team on the park by a long way on Friday night so I think we have the personnel, in terms of ability. If we can kick straighter and find a good system into the forward line with whatever midfield dominance we can muster, we are a chance. But we must absolutely take advantage of our periods of control during the game, we haven't been doing that lately.

Richmond still for me, but by gee, I'd love to see us get up.

What a sensational win last night by the boys!!

I think now we are a feared side once more.

But just think, we could be 6-2

If we held on for 4 more secs against melbourne!, or if we kicked straight against hawthorn!

But ahh well, no complaints!

I am a very happy person at the minute!

BRING ON THE LIONS NEXT WEEK!

CARN THE CROWS!
