We are fielding an older, more experienced side than Adelaide.

Of the 17 players 26 (or about to turn 26) and above on our list, all but two are playing today - Gaff who’s no longer best 22 and Flynn who’s returning from injury

With the exception of Flynn and Allen, there’s no one unavailable that would significantly improve today’s team. Long, Hewett and perhaps Petruccelle are probably best 22 but they’re not head and shoulders above the players they’d replace. The others on our injury list (Bazzo, Barnett and Jamieson) aren’t best 22

Our biggest problem is our away form which has been pretty dire, especially in comparison to what we’ve shown at home

Losses of 50 (Port), 76 (Bulldogs), 37 (Suns) and 66 (Collingwood) plus a 26 point loss to Sydney at a neutral venue in gather round (which was our best performance away from home) don’t inspire confidence

Like us, Adelaide have had a difficult fixture so far with only one game out of ten being against a side outside the top 12. And like us, they’ve only won 3 games (plus a draw) although their losses have been by much smaller margins

No Rankine with the ongoing absence of Thilthorpe, Worrell and Milera helps a little but they still have a midfield that’s troubled us in recent games

And Walker

His record against us wasn’t particularly special prior to 2023 (25 goals from 13 games) but he filled his boots with 19 goals in our two matchups last year.

Be nice if we can shut him down along with our usual Crows nemesis, Darcy Fogarty

If our forwards can get enough supply, Waterman and co are capable of kicking a winning score. If he can slot a Michelle, he’ll be the outright Coleman leader. Go Jake

Seems like a game we can win on a ground we used to play well at before turning to s**t. However, this is a must win game for Adelaide if they want to keep their slim finals hopes alive

We could be in 13th after this round if we win with consecutive home games against St Kilda and North to follow

Go Eagles

Danger game

West Coast by one Coleman and a rising star

There are some valid reasons for the last two losses away especially Pies and we are definitely not the same team (arguably much improved) when we played Crows last year or preseason. The Crows are more or less the same?

'IF' we are as tight and switched on as we were last week, plus Yeo, this could be a good win. Let's hope the umpiring is neutral and doesn't affect momentum too much.
It's unlike you Keys to enter the predictions and dreamtime zone re last two home games and ladder position, but I'm liking it!
That result would be a great confidence boost for the post bye block of games.
Let's bag this one first!

Dom actually played really well against Oliver- nullified him. Could be an idea for Dom as a role?

How fast is Dawson?

 

[Keys]

Dawson’s marking strength would be a concern against Sheed

How fast is Dawson?

not very

Dawson’s marking strength would be a concern against Sheed

Might be enough to just have someone near Dawson all day so he becomes a much less attractive option to pass to

me on Monday (it's not game day)

Ginbey did some tagging roles last year. He'd be a nightmare if he was tagging you, as he's massive and quick.

 

[Westend]

Important game for us today....need to show if we can replicate our good form at home to that of playing away

 

[Cuzz09]

this feels like a free throw at the stumps imo.

We aren't gonna realistically make the 8 and we aren't as bad as last year so just throw the kitchen sink at it today and it could be a bloody entertaining game between 2 decent sides to watch.

Got a little beer buzz going and Ready to sit in the sun at AO and enjoy it...

Ryan to have a big game today - found some touch last week and will continue on his upwards trajectory with a few goals and more score involvements.

Prefer Ginbey on Dawson than Sheed - be like chalk+cheese!

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Ginbey on Dawson and Sheed on Soligo.

 

[Rowan18]

The names of some of the Crows players really roll of the tongue:

Hinge
Soligo
Michalanny

Just as we look to have come out of the bad years, we seek to be known as tuggers.
