Preview Fremantle - v - Adelaide ; a pivotal game

[ThePurpleHeart]

Hey Gav are you familiar with Adelaide Oval?
I got my ticket and it appears to be general admission as it doesn't have a block number and seat 776?
Is this standing only?

Hey there - it’s a guest pass for the Western Stand, which is an AO member’s only area. The premium seats in this area are pre-sold, the rest are GA. So long as you can, the best thing to do is to stand on the concourse in the marked areas on the wing.

Beating Adelaide in Adelaide would be a real achievement.

But still not at the level of beating GWS in Canberra a fortnight ago.

 

[Simmofreo]

If you are close enough to the boundary have a good listen to Jesse.

I was on the boundary in Canberra

He swears like a trooper haha. Even at himself

But especially at everyone that moves, teammates or not haha. It's quite comical if you don't have kids with you

I've paid the $75 for the ticket to see this game sitting alongside my Crows supporting family. Given the terrible record we have there it is an ugly price to pay if we cop a loss, but will pay dividends if we jag a win.

Looking forward to Nyhuis versus Betts.

Looking forward to a zero goals next to Walker.

Looking forward to getting a real life look at our forward line.

But it's ok he can see the "Brightside"

(Not everyone will get this)

Thats a good move. Blakley is good but he is not fyfe. We are winning and second on the ladder. No one should lose their spot right now because they don't have a "name"

Duman, Cox, Darcey, Bewley into the extended squad.

No Blakley

All named on the Bench.

No outs.

Sorry can't help you. I have a Members Guest ticket, so I will be deep in enemy territory.

If we win and I get pitched over the railing, send my remains back to Bali thanks mate. I'm no wallflower.

Just go harder for longer (and hope the boys pull through for you)!

Not standing only.


There are a number seats marked ga. The ones in front of the hill are. Or tier 3 at the very top.

There are other ones.

I like the view from tier 3, you get see the entire game.

I've got way more confidence in this team away from home compared to previous seasons. They should aim to break a few hoodoos this year, starting with the Canberra game last week, and continuing Adelaide Oval this weekend. Throw in the dreaded Hobart game in a couple of months for good measure.

so we'd be the gurus of hoodoos?
I like it.
Like Wow, Wipeout!

 

[DaveLister]

I like the idea of running Tucker with Matt Crouch. Limit his impact, show Tucker his running patterns

Western Stand. Northern and southern ends. No reserved seating (basically sit wherever you want). Generally good seating

Agree but I can see us winning this game by 23 points.

Hey, Gav! if you know your way around the oval, would be worth wandering down to the cheer squad in your gear - sometimes they ask for more volunteers to lift the banner if we’re short a number.

I will miss watching my boys at AO, would have loved to see them win one there after sitting through two 80 plus floggings.

If we win, you can’t go to another game to see us at Adelaide Oval.

(Just half kidding)

no worries, i’ve moved states.

 

[Scham]

I think they’ll be slightly too strong. Crows by 14pts.

 

[Deathly]

Not reverting to horrible football on the road would be a win regardless of the result. I think it will be close for 3QTs but Crows will probably take this by 3-4 goals.

 

[theGav56]

Crikey. Who unleashed the realists????

 

[samFFC]

I can't believe the bookmakers odds

We still kinda suck on the road so it makes sense. Let’s prove ourselves with back to back road performances.

 

[freo84]

If we can go goal for goal with them until the 4th then the boys will have a strong belief that the game can be won due to our finishing power this season.

I rate the GWS, Doggies and Crows midfield groups as quite strong but all 3 lack either an experienced Ruckman or a Ruckman that can match Lobb around the ground. The Crows are slower than us on the outside and it's our outside run that may win it for us. Their inside grunt is pretty formidable and if Fyfe, Mundy and Tucker get in there and feed Hilly and Langdon it will go a long way to a Fremantle Victory.

We cannot bomb it long as they get much of their drive off their hb flankers. We cannot let Laird, Smith and McKay rebound because they will cut us up with their kicking. Not So much Laird but he gets some much of it that it's death by 1000 cuts. As long as our pressure is good forward of the ball we can really force the kicking wide and down the line.

Going to be an interesting game and I haven't felt this excited about playing in Adelaide is some time. I just hope the boys bring the effort and never say die attitude.

 

[Steinfreo]

We cant start slow in this one. Weve got out of jail a few time with opposition kicking a few points early. Cant do it this weekend.

Alex Keath is another we want to keep accountable, he's been like a mini-McGovern in recent weeks. Need to keep a body on him when we go high and long into our F50. Good summary though, I'm expecting a ripping contest too. Their "19th" man is going to be a factor which is why this will be just as tough as the Giants game imo, it's vital we get scoreboard pressure early and keep the crowd passive for as long as possible

Yep for sure

I just think the GWS game was the turning point on the road

In the end I think these two sides are quite well matched in terms of "who should win", but we are pretty flakey in terms of performance with players still uncertain about themselves as a unit, and an away game at a venue that we have been historically rubbish at. If I was a bookie I would have the Crows well in front of us.

You have highlighted some things which are just a little bit different, for example, we are a bit faster on the outside. Not a huge thing, but I hope enough that Lyon can get the players to work it as an edge for us. Lobb versus O'Brien is critical.

He's great to watch, but he might be in for a bit of a shock in this game. Likely to be matching Taberner.
