Lions pumped

[beartoo]

Doggies are killing them up to three-quarter time. Plus Brisbane have McGuire injured and Hanley on report.
We may have a good time next week by the look of things.
I have a perfect tipping score this round so far--0

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Does last year ring a bell

We will need to improve on round 1 to come home with a win

Vastly!

 

[beartoo]

Lotsa gloom and doom on this board after a loss on a wet and windy night in round one. Bear up. One match doesn't make a dismal season.

 

[Glenno23]

Still think we'll struggle, but i reckon (hope) we are a bit fired up after having a week off to stew over last week's debacle

Watching Brisbane today gives me a little more hope, but the Bulldogs applied a ton of tackling pressure, something i'm not sure we're capable of

Maybe if we go in with Kerridge, Pig-Dog & Tambling opposed to tge like of Martn and Matty J there will be a natural spike in tackling pressure

Time for Sando to weed out those who have little to no intent on applying tackling pressure, Otto is another who needs to look over his shoulder

Major factor. Also their kicking was that much better than its ever been as well, no Boyd probably helped.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

With Black out the major factor will be Rich, if we can contain Rich and Sauce gets on top of Longer's and gets us started in the clearances then I expect we should chalk up our 1st win for 2013

They had a hard tag on Rich, will we?

I would run VB on Rich and go head to head with the rest of their mids

 

[Southerntakeover]

They'll be nice and ready for a bounce back preformance then.

Our record at the Gabba isnt exactly inspiring.

Do you post this in every thread?

Once again - bring in those three and we will surely get more tackles, however it will be at the expense of us getting contested ball.

AFL is a big step up from SANFL.

It's pretty clear what will happen next weekend.

After a week of talking up Adelaide's chances, reiterating the talent on the list and flagging our intent to lift our intensity, we'll roll up to the Gabba expecting a good performance. We'll kick a couple of early goals and stick a couple of early tackles. Then Cornelius will slip two tackles in the forward pocket and snap a goal against the run of play.

From there it will be a mauling. Zero intensity, dismal tackling from our players, a celebration of all things Brisbane. It will be a procession. Crouch will kick a goal late and look decent to give us something to vaguely smile about, heading into a potentially disastrous Showdown next week.

I'm sensing season over. At least, that is how the script usually rolls at Adelaide. We'll see. Again.

great to see postive attitude from the supporter base.

round 1 is not the be all end all in decding how your season will pan out. In 2011 we defeated hawthorn by 20 points in round 1 and end up in 14th with only 7 wins, meanwhile Hawthorn only lost 5 more games all to the Grand finalists in Collingwood and geelong.

I'd say Riley would win more contested ball than say someone like Petrenko

It's an obvious match up, let's hope the coaches see its merit

 

[AFC979810]

I am sure he would. You might want to consider that Riley is a midfielder and Petrenko as a defensive forward.

Riley is not going to save our midfield. The guy has played 10 AFL games... The most contested possessions he has won are 13 in a 90 point win over Gold Coast and 10 in a 70 point win against Melbourne.

Pump the breaks. From what I have seen he is more Mark McGough than Mark Riccuito.

i agree with the sentiment, but Riley was pretty good for Sturt today.

I think this is just as bad a result for Adelaide as a 100 point win by the Lions would have been today. The Lions will be keen for redemption next week now, and they are a much different side at the Gabba.

Petrenko is dog shit, he is a balls, he is the arse crack of a footballer, the is the worst thing to ever happen to the city of Adelaide. He should be deported to the Ukraine.

More negative bullshit from you.

Even your signature is a disgrace. You are the classic internet troll.

Piss off.

And you have zero knowledge of AFL football. Every post you have made on this forum just bags the scapegoats of other posters.

You are unoriginal and boring.

Please don't tell me that both Matty J and Martin win contested ball, and yes both players are examples of playing well in the sanfl and delivering littlecat AFL level

And yes I do mention it on those threads where it is relevant
