Preview Rd 3 NM v Crows - Sunday 3.20PM AEST

[Ashley B]

this is worth a watch, he talks about it

Is it on another video not in that one

I genuinely see an upset North by 5-8 points. I have belief but at the same time our midfield of ours will have to step up again with that smell of blood mentality to beat Dawson, Soligo and Rankine.

Sheezel has to have a breakout game and maybe break loose from them 2 ineffective kicking games his presented against Dees and Dogs. Once again I see Xerri dominating and Powell having around 24-26 touches. Sheezel will lead the pack i reckon out of the midfield/ ball magnets.

It’s all hope and belief if we win this it’s a huge big deal celebration because Adelaide are looking so good and hungry for a locked in top 8 spot.

the "crazy flu" he talked about was MJ getting sick from the pizza

I vaguely remember the story of the pizza delivery to the players room pre game.

It was also covered in The Last Dance.

I hope the home crowd’s noise of affirmation doesn’t alter the evenness of where both sides sit on this table.

You should know better than anyone that the Duck partied harder than anyone after a victory ol’ boy.

As long as they train their ass off the following week and produce on the weekend they can swim in a silo full of home brew after a win for all I care..

Fitness standards in the 90s are incomparable to today. Players are significantly fitter and standards are much, much higher. Any side from the 90s would get run off the park.

We will win. I feel it

Have seen some comments about this in different threads this week, but keen to see what everyone's thoughts are on how we'll structure up our back 6 vs. Adelaide, and what our likely match ups will be. Have had a go below:

B:Corr (Keays), Logue (Fogarty), Pink (Walker)

HB: Daniel (Neal-Bullen), Comben (Thilthorpe), McDonald (Rachele)

Manufacturing a spare in the backline will be one of the keys to our success in this game. If we're hesitant to go in with the 4 talls you'd imagine Tucker retains his place in the side and a choice will be made between Logue/Pink.

Not comparing eras, just pointing out if they want a couple of beers together to enjoy their wins then let them go, as long as they train the house down the next week and keep performing on the weekends then I have no problem with it at all.

Most successful teams on the field have a great social connection off it. It builds camaraderie.

So if by some miracle we win this game, I think I’ll have to take next week off to celebrate

Couple of potential Kerridges right there.

One thing is for certain in this one, the home crowd will influence the whistle blowers from the first bounce to the final siren.. everyone should prepare their neighbours now for the inevitable yelling of expletives come Sunday..

There is something very 2017 about Adelaide playing with four tall forwards. I hope they revive the power stance too.

Campgate 2026 incoming.

I think we can make Comben the spare again - question is, which forward can we exploit?
First one that comes to mind is Walker (due to age).

So maybe something liiiike:
B: Corr (Rachele), Logue (Thilthorpe), Pink (Fogarty)

HB: Daniel (Neal-Bullen), Comben (Walker), McDonald (Keays)

The thing that terrifies me is when Rankine runs through there - no real matchup for him...

Things must be looking up....... The LDU thread ahs moved to page 2

yikes

 

[The Nostradamus]

Tucker on Rankine worries me.

Yeah unfortunately he will be a problem for anyone

Their forward line is the best in the comp imo to have the 3 potent talls and then the 3-4 dangerous smalls

Plus they have Curtin who drifts forward too but can play anywhere

 

[Heaps of fun]

With that line up Luke has to be the man for Rankine. Rankine will obviously get him on speed but Luke can at least be trusted to give his best and make moments in the clinches and contests as tough fro Rankine as possible.

[tales129]

Rankine has been playing as a mid rotating forward.

Dawson and peatling also spending time up there with Curtin coming in off a wing.

It’s a big forward mid rotation with Neal bullen doing the heavy lifting and covering off for their aggressive forward push

Excellent we're on the cusp of getting a couple of early priority free kicks next week

I agree. A couple is ok but getting smashed after a game like Carey etc used to do in the 90s is definitely not it.

 

[Yellow Feathers]

A real test to see exactly where we are at. I want to see us be competitive.
And please for the love of god shut down Dawson.
