Adelaide forecast: http://www.bom.gov.au/sa/forecasts/adelaide.shtml

Forecast for Sunday
A possible light shower chiefly about the hills and southern suburbs, increasing to a shower or two for the afternoon. Cool with light and variable winds.

Sounds like pretty reasonable conditions for the game - conditions may be worse by last quarter.

Hope a good crowd gets in and the Crows can bring their best from last week for the full game.

 

[Crow-eater]

Should be a good day for footy, the radar shows no major rain bands moving over the city.

In two minds about this game, it's one we should win, but then they're the ones we usually lose. Hoping for a similar effort to the first 2 and a bit qtrs last week, except for the whole game this time. That should see us came out with the 4 points. Rutten to shut down Brown. Sellar on Clark could hurt us though, don't let us down Jimmy!

Thommo to dominate with another 30+ possie game.

GO CROWS!

Any word on the sub?

Edit: thought the sub was announced 90min before first bounce.

Still, it would want to be Cook

 

[Allefgib]

Pets I thought I just heard on radio

 

[OldCrowBloke]

Clearances are going to be important again. Guys like Black and Power don't have quite the same run as in the past, but are good extractors and users. If we can stop Black shooting out his basketball passes it will go a long way to keeping the pressure off our defense.

Sub is Petrenko thank god.

 

[OldCrowBloke]

Sub is Petrenko thank god.

So Cook will need to step up!

 

[Deaneus!]

So Cook and Henderson are on our bench? I'm distinctly underwhelmed, being amongst the "drop Hendo" crowd and not rating Cook, but hey they're named, let's see what they can bring today.

*fingers crossed* Walker kicks ten... And has a tackle

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

I would have started Petrenko in defence

 

[mrmatt]

Am I the only one to think that pets gets a harsh run. Sub in the Melbourne game then dropped the next week after playing 1 quarter then he finally gets back after good local form only to be sub again. Any danger he can get a full game one day?

He does seem to be out of favour for some reason, hope it's not another Mattner re-run.

So Cook will need to step up!

Personally I'd prefer to see him step down and clear room on our list, but if he can do something I won't be complaining after the game.

 

[OldCrowBloke]

Positive start.

AMAZING goal by Danger - left foot snap from deep in pocket.

 

[WAG]

TEX! Geez he makes it look easy!

 

[OldCrowBloke]

Good work in defense to win ball back.
VB long kick up the guts.

Tex - Goal!!

2.0 to 0.0

 

[Sir Vlado]

Two goals already. Sweet. Great to see Tex on the board early.

 

[OldCrowBloke]

Bull***t advantage - everyone had stopped.

Goal to Clark

2.0 to 1.0

 

[WAG]

Cook - 1 posession : 1 clanger

 

[RoosterLad]

Rory should have kicked that one.

That kick by Brown was even worse.

 

[OldCrowBloke]

Sloane misses running into open goal.
Brown mark, but misses second set shot.

Crows 2.1 lions 1.2

 

[crow_about_it]

seriously worried every time they kick long into the forward line.. its so open compared to ours

 

[Cap]

sounds like cook is doing all right apart from his disposal.

Looks like he doesn't know what to do with the ball once he has got it.

Good goal Smith.

Terrible game of footy so far.

 

[OldCrowBloke]

Nice play in the forward line starting with Danger.

Bsmith snaps nice goal!

3.2 to 1.3
