Preview R10: Changes vs. Collingwood

[Nepotism]

I am confident that we get this one done. The Pies have a lot of outs and I heard a few are ill including Houston.

Feel like this is a big opportunity for the club to put our failed past behind us.
A win sets up a genuine crack at top 4 and challenging.

Adelaide v Collingwood

15 W - 1 D - 34 L

9 losses in a row since the draw - Haven't beaten them in 10 games

atrocious record that needs to change this weekend if we are legit

It's a pretty depressing record. The level of the two teams over our history shouldn't reflect these stats, and suggests the club doesn't handle big games pressure.

 

[crows dude]

Looks as though Frampton will be their only tall down back
Frampton - Thilthorpe (Thilly should dominate)
Then guys like Howe and Maynard on Tex and Fog.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

not technique - remember he's playing for the Crows, so our kicks have usually missed him by some distance - usually way over his head, or to the advantage of his opposition, or the fact that our midfield has usually been horrible, and the ball never arrived in the forward line for TT to actually sprain his fingers!

Other than we’ve hit more targets I50 and lead the league in scores for and also been most efficient team when going I50s you’re absolutely correct

 

[FR0GGY]

So even with Moore out, we aren’t resting Tex are we?

It’s a funny one as we’ve beaten Carlton in melb a few times when they’ve been up and about and always whacked them at home

Pies we’ve tested them when they’ve been way higher on ladder but they’ve nailed us late or hung on

 

[Jeffcrowe]

So even with Moore out, we aren’t resting Tex are we?

He might kick a few or at least allow TT and Fog to kick more due to match ups

If it’s wet though I’m pulling him last minute

 

[Nepotism]

We will win by 15 points.

 

[beartoo]

I get it

But I think the fact we were able to hold on in the first place last week, is improvement

We would’ve lost the Port game this time last year. Probably in 2023 too

We would have lost the Showdown if Rozee had nailed that easy snap with just over a minute to go. We won through luck.

 

[Zzzuuuppp]

The forecast for Saturday in Melbourne is for a "high chance of showers" which probably favours them a bit. Wonder if this will influence our selection of Tex. Maybe rest Tex and leave Curtin in?

 

[radiojake]

Forecast suggests rain all day on Saturday....

Surely we don't play Walker if that is the case

I’d take him over and pull him out late if it’s wet and play Pedlar forward

 

[Jeffcrowe]

We’ve lose a few close ones with bad luck too

Don’t forget that

We were due to get lucky

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Warming towards

Ins Pedlar Bond
Outs Tex Butts

But only if it’s significantly wet

I’d play Berry in starting 22 and Taylor sub

 

[moogerfooger]

This should be one of those "if not now, when?" games.

This is not a surprise, as I am heading over.

Wherever/whenever we go on holiday, the weather turns to shit.

I'm referring to previous years of course. Although I see Dawson and Soligo are currently rated in the worst 10 kicks at the moment by Champion data. https://www.sen.com.au/news/2025/05/13/champion-data-reveals-the-best-and-worst-kicks-in-the-afl

Haha same here! Always happens.

 

[Nepotism]

Tex is a good wet weather player. He will kick 4 against Howe or Maynard.

Crows supporters find a way to put and asterisk on anything lol

Maynard can't play the fake tough guy against tex lol

About time we got some luck in a close game

Their bigger crowds gets in our heads I reckon.
