Really excited for this one! Hoping we can cause an upset!

King Elvis dont post the changes thread like you have done in the last 2 weeks please

Why not? You need to get over this thread obsession, it's not healthy. I'm calling for an intervention.

 

[King Elvis]

But it amuses me!

 

[Elite Crow]

Too late

I was joking when I said DTB had a thread addiction but then I've gone on to the main board and there's 3 created by him. One was Essendon v Carlton created on Thursday. I'm concerned.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Lynch is a key today.

No Johnson or Mattner who have taken the 3rd tall in the past. They'll have Richards and Grundy who are both good defenders on Jenkins and McKernan. We need Lynch to get off the leash and to hit the scoreboard.

Reckon we're a sniff today. No Jetta is massive. They've still got a gun team but there are a few kids and a few weak links: Mitchell, Rampe, Everitt, B Jack, White, Morton. Missing from their strongest line up Jetta, Reid, Mattner, Johnson, Rohan, Shaw, Roberts-Thompson..

Need to make sure our defenders don't get sucked up the ground. They devour space over the back. Our back six need to stay in the back half. If their opponents go further up the ground, let them go.

 

[Elite Crow]

The key will be the midfield. Theirs is flying and bats deeper than ours. If Jacobs plays a shit game we are ****ed. If he feeds our mids, we win the clearances and get the ball in quickly we win.

 

[Vooligan]

Isn't the point of a forum for free discussion? And if threads aren't up and people want to discuss topics, the logical thing to do is add topics?

And I'm fairly sure no one really cares who starts the thread...




....Anyways, go the Crows and I hope they cause an upset. Still unsure as to whether I can go, all depends on work commitments.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Both midfields pretty strong IMO.

Leigh Matthews made a good point that when good teams play each other the midfields tend to break pretty even. You get your share of clearances, your share of I50's. The game is won and lost by what happens inside the arcs - making the most of your scoring opportunities, minimising the damage from the opposition's forward forays. Was an interesting comment as it veered away from the old maxim that the game will be won and lost in the midfield.

Whether we qualify as a 'good' team at the moment is debatable admittedly.

Think you're missing the point of the joke. Dreamteam has specifically asked that we save the thread starting to him, well of course we are going to do the opposite.

Fox are showing at the moment our win against Sydney last year. Three things, god I miss Tex. Secondly, it was nice to see Stiffy in defence, brought back memories and the game ebbed and flowed with which midfields got on top.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Watching it too

 

[Elite Crow]

Watching it too

How were those long goals from Tex, such poetry in motion

 

[Hank93]

Best win in the Sanderson era against the Swans in 2012.

I know, I know. I'm saying I don't know why it's such a big deal to him. Fairly sure I even started one of them a few weeks ago.

Unfortunately, in the games I've seen live this year, we are complete suckers for getting the defence dragged too high. Sanderson has even said he's prepared to wear a couple cheap goals over the top if it means we have a numerical advantage at the contest. We are very vulnerable to counter attack football. Frustrated me no end in the North game and makes me nervous generally.

I hope we address this, it's been a downfall for over a year.

Dangerfield was outrageously good. I love that man

 

[Realslimshady2]

Dangerfield was outrageously good. I love that man

Me too, my phone background is a pic I got with Danger earlier in the year. Sad I know I think he will have a big one today but I think their midfield will beat ours and that will shape the game. Improve our tackling and we have a chance.

Just doing what Chief asks

Sydney fans wouldn't be happy with you calling their prodigy a weak link...

 

[BACCS]

The key will be the midfield. Theirs is flying and bats deeper than ours. If Jacobs plays a shit game we are screwed. If he feeds our mids, we win the clearances and get the ball in quickly we win.

Pyke has been massive this year, but surely is due for a downer? I'd be disappointed if he can't beat Mumford based on his form this season.

 

[BACCS]

I hope we address this, it's been a downfall for over a year.

I've lost count of the number of over the back goals we have conceded, particularly in the past few weeks.

also a few about Rampe and Everitt too. Been reasonable vut our backline is a bit undermanned atm
