[QT]

We should really win tomorrow!

We win then we will be 7-4 (as i predicted ), and set up for teh rest of the yr.

I know we have a ******** record against these guyz at home, but if we dont win tomorrow.............i dunno

CARN THE CROWS!

My tip = crows by 38 pts

Believe it or not, I kinda know when the Bulldogs are gonna win or lose. This year I have had 2 bulldogs tips wrong, which were against St.Kilda and Collingwood.
I tipped against the Doggies last week because I knew they would try to take it easy but not too easy, so they dont get injured for the round 11 clash betweem Adelaide and West.Bulldogs. Take out the Bulldogs last week, and add 19 YEAR old from the western Jets Daniel Gianseracusa, Adam Contessa and Gilbee. It is also Rohan Smiths 150th consecutive Game, and they're a nom. Of reason why I think the Bulldogs will win.
1. They are still hurting from 2 consecutive Preliminary finals loses.
2. They will be more determined than ever to beat the Crows.
3. They have been hard at it in Training this week, in tackling and goal kicking.
4. They will try to do it for Rohan Smiths, 150th consecutive game.
5. They want to get back into contention with the top 6.
6. It might rain in the later part of the match, as the Adelaide weather said Thursday.
7. The Club has recieved a nom. of letters this week saying this week is a must win game.
And the doggies know that. They travel very well and I think you will see a good game up until half time. Bulldogs by 19 points.

Crows will win

Crows will win by 24 points

They know our record is poor at starting.
Bullys carry a lot of baggage from losses gone by.

We will be ready.

The move of Jarman shall be of great interest

They will be panic stricken with the news of a possible move to full forward, by this ageing champion.
Memories that will be fresh in their minds.


Go topjars!!

And er Go Crows

I have got behind the club this week and the Western Bulldogs are ready for the crows!
I dont think all this speculation about the Crows being easy favourites will get them over the line!
Adelaide are about to find out what it takes to be a strong force.
Carn doggies dont let me down!

I dunno X_box_X I think we might be gone.
But I hope im wrong!

Personally, I think its the Bulldogs who are at risk of taking the Crows too lightly.

Crows have been dumped on all year, especially in Melbourne by the Melbourne media. Bulldogs players can't help but be influenced by that slightly. There have been quite a number of people who this week have mentioned that the Bulldogs travel well, yet just two weeks ago we heard Wallace whinging about a couple of games in a row where Bulldogs had to travel, and how tired it was making them. The poor diddums.

Menawhile, Crows travelling were winning games! Now we have one at home, and a fully aware that we must win this one to stay in the running.

Essendon next week will be a struggle, Crows need this game against beatable Bulldogs as insurance against a loss next week.

Are bulldogs beatable - yes, absolutely. Insipid last week, were Bullgogs, whereas Crows overcame Geelong (who themselves have prevailed over Hawks today).

Crows are perhaps the best team in the league in the wet. Have a breif look at their recent history if you doubt this, Crows are good in the wet no doubt at all.

Crows are hurting from a couple of recent losses to Bulldogs.

Crows by a couple of goals.

I aint at all suprised with the result.
WELL DONE DOGS

Yes, Bulldogs did well, and deserved to win.

Crows did not play well in the wet, unlike their previous form in wet games.

But your confidence over the result was misplaced - suppose it was Grant, and not Burton, who rolled an ankle in the first 5 minutes - Bulldogs would have lost.

Not saying that Burton is as good as Grant - only saying that without Grants contribution the match would have been even, and if Crows had Burton they may have edged in front.

Thats how finely balanced these things sometimes are. Hence - no reason for you to feel your certainty about the game was vindicated by the actual outcome.

Crows will get you next time!
