Game Day Crows vs Cats - Gather Round

[FR0GGY]

Let’s go!
Can they stop the filth?
Usually a question posed to us in a showdown!
So much rests in the hands of the kid, but he’ll be up to it, another 5 goals to show he’s really arrived.
Crows by 26!

 

[pjcrows]

The plan is "Our opponent will kick goals - we'll just kick more". I admire the confidence particularly against an elite coach. I also like the selections.

Perfect night, fast deck at home, in pretty good form. No excuses.

I changed my tip to Cats by 23 after seeing their side. Gut feel is that they’ll open up the ground and we’ll struggle to defend their forwards and concede too many easy goals. And having an extra player on the field after stoppages will cost us too. Overall a reckon it’ll be a tight contest.

 

[Peter Doherty]

It's going to be a monster crowd tonight!

Conditions should suit our team, let's see if they can go with us.

Think we will win.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what Taylor can do. Hopefully he has a breakout game.

Will be the sub I reckon unless we’re going nank again

Most likely but nevertheless I'm hoping he can have an impact when he comes on.

I really really hate Geelong.
Call it jealousy, call it resentment, but since the Danger move, I can't stand them.
Always kissed on the d***, and always the media darlings thanks to the Geelong cartel.
Sickeningly self-entitled - it flows down from the Coach, and the Captain.
Beat them, send them home - tail between their legs....please!

 

[Geoffa32]

Should be another good win.
Great to see Taylor playing, even if sub.

Looking forward to the overreaction from umpires.

I think Rankine won’t play, Pedlar or Berry to the sub.

Or if Rankine does play he will play up forward and you’re right, Taylor to sub.

We’ve lost a player they thinks a small forward because he’s small, so we need to fill that position. Either Rankine, Draper or Taylor. Given Crouch is back, could be Draper too.

What is the crowd record at AO? Chance to break it this evening?

 

[Carn The Texan]

Got a bad feeling about this.

Selections are saying we're going to open up the backline for maximum rebound and all out speed.

Could be alright but it could go horribly wrong against a coach who knows what he's doing.

Cats by 32 points in a game they seal at the 7th minute mark of the third quarter. (It's going to take years for me to stop being pessimistic about a match up like this one)

I had to really stop and think, were you referring to Geelong or the Umpires in bold

 

[Betts are off]

If there is a way to bet for which team gets the most free kicks tonight, I would bet the house on the Crows winning that ledger.

Feel like the AFL umpires will be rubbing the green of the home team with all its might. They have 2 weeks worth of frees to dish out!

Which umpire are you referring to?

that was actually kinda funny right up until the part you realise he seems to have a promotional deal with a betting company? is that seriously an AFL umpire??

Wonder if you can get stool through security.
Or just take a toilet break before they run out.

There's sometimes some that don't quite make it into the bowls at Adelaide Oval, if you look around you might get lucky.

Umpires
Nick Foot (2), Curtis Deboy (11), Brendan Hosking (16), Robert Findlay (23)


****ing Deboy

 

[Scorpus]

We have the skills and class across the field to win this game comfortably at home

We should have beaten them last year but we copped Geelong in the middle of Nicks trying out his awful defensive gameplan

That side last year featured Burgess, Murphy, McHenry, Jones, Berry and Smith

This year we've got Thilthorpe, Neal-Bullen, Peatling, Cumming, Curtin, Nankervis

 

[SugarShane]

Extremely nervous about this one. Really get a bad feeling that either a) Rankine will be a late out or b) Rankine plays and we quickly realise he shouldn't have. No Rachele, Rankine potentially off the boil. Never write off Geelong, they have a tendency to pick and choose when they come out like world beaters and what better time than now.

Head says we should win, but gut is saying we get rolled.

I hope you’re trying to employ reverse psychology.

Geelong haven’t been great this year.

Scott is a better coach than Nicks but even allowing for that, we have a bloody good side now with a forward line that doesn’t need many chances and a much better midfield than we have.

If we lose this game we are no where near the level we need to be.

We almost beat them in Geelong last year.

I just can’t see us losing and we should cover the line comfortably. We owe these ****ers.

Ah yes the infamous away game where we subbed on Curtin for the last 2 minutes
