Opinion Round 10 Changes vs. Adelaide

[Simmofreo]

I think the biggest concern for us is their forward line. And they know that as they added Jenkins.

We have the defenders to take one big weapon at a time. But a forward line of Jenkins, tex, betts , lynch and cameron will worry us.

Poor old Hamling will have his work cut out for him

They have Hugh Greenwood too. Very tall setup. If it's slippery, we might get more players to the drop if they don't mark it. Adelaide traditionally play a style where all their forwards try to physically engage the defender, even in congestion to stop defenders intercepting. I haven't seen them enough this year to know if that's still the case.

Happy with Tucker in. He's the future.

Just not in purple?

 

[george2]

Not even an emergency

I think the only reason that Suban gets named emergency or is held over from games/travels with the team is to make sure that our younger guys actually get a game in thw WAFL. That way our younger guys are getting named as emergencies but are still getting games in to them and if someone is a late out in the 1s then Suban may jag a game.

As Han Solo said 20 years ago today "Never tell me the odds"



I think $6 is pretty generous. Adelaide are like WCE, if they turn up they are good, but if they need to fight for a win they struggle. We are every chance in this match, even without Sandi. I will admit, our last game in the city of Godforbid, was bad, we might just roll them.

To be original, I think (with a mustache and furrow brow) "This game, it will come down to the midfield". I cannot remember a back line getting credited for a win, even when key stops held Coleman medalists, so yeah lets run with the midfield battle. And without Dawson, we are not going to hold the likes of Tex and Jac and Basketcase#3 or there abouts. I think this will be closer than many think.

erm.. actually... Star Wars is 40.

Hope you don't mind the intrusion as I come in peace Just curious (for my tipping) what is Freo's record like in Adelaide?

Brilliant. I'm pretty sure we are undefeated there. Certainly never lost a game in Adelaide only kicking one goal. Definitely didn't get comprehensively beaten there earlier in the year. Definitely don't have goal difference over 5 games of -30 at Adelaide Oval.

Likewise brilliant okay will apply the dead opposite to what you say to help me with my tipping, so guess all I need to do now is to tip Adelaide to win!

There is a bye in the wafl. You may need to find a new theory.

Perfect game for Ryan and Darcy to travel as emergencies and get back to Victoria.

 

[Dirty_banchez]

Didn't realise it was going to rain on Saturday night. Adelaide have gone very tall, which is a bit strange.

The bye supports their theory?

Expect Greenwood to play mainly midfield all game. Were expecting showers throughout the day nothing to bad though but I also think we have gone in to top heavy and it could hurt us badly.

You've heard of Pagan's Paddock. They're implementing Trump's Wall

What do you think they're thinking strategically in bringing in so many talls? Crunch packs? Bring the ball to ground? Rely on Betts? That the weather will clear up?

 

[peppy la pew]

Betts and Cameron will create havoc

 

[Eski3]

We looked very ordinary against Carlton when it was bucketing down. We only got the ascendancy when it cleared up. I'm starting to feel more and more dread about this game.

Pity we are playing in SA.

Good for them to learn about traveling though.

Also if it buckets down I'd expect a late out and Ryan to play.

They must be backing Betts + Cameron in stopping Freo from bouncing the ball out. Their defence will cover our forwards easily though.

Betts and Cameron will create havoc

Betts will kick 3+. I already have visions of Spurr kicking it OOF and Betts kicking a ridiculous goal from the boundary, while it is pissing down.

Adelaide by 40+. We will get the ball into our forward 50 and it will come back like a Boomerang.

Poor old Spurr its gonna be tricky.

 

[peppy la pew]

Poor old Spurr its gonna be tricky.

I'm sure Ibbo will give him a chop out

If you want a laugh, go to the Adelaide board and see what they think of their ins.

I was hoping after the Crows board introduced a couple of DMac specific threads to deal with all the hate the preview thread might finally be worth a look at after 56 pages but they are still crapping on about him. U would think hes rooted every crow supporters sister or something....

Well technically yes, the game is in Adelaide......



Oops.

I doubt if the selection panel picked Suban we'd produce half the hate they have. Suban and Dawson might get close.

If suban got picked after tucker had a 38 possession, 3 clearances and a goal game in the wafl - we'd probably melt. But their stamina in melting is impressive

It takes years of practice.
