Game Day Round 16: Carlton v Adelaide @ MCG: "Trading Places"

[Hank93]

Just saw Serena win her 22nd major title and watching the end of Stage 8 of the Tour so thought I may as well launch the game day thread!

Movie title in reference to 4 players who have played for their opponents: Eddie Betts, Sam Jacobs, Sam Kerridge and Matthew Wright. Not to mention Steven Trigg as CEO of Carlton and Craigy as an assistant coach. And the film can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trading_Places

Win and we go third so the stakes are enormous.

Go Crows!

Also if you haven't got your selection in for the goal kicking game make sure you get it in before 12:40pm CST.

Weather is meant to be shithouse, interesting to see what impact that plays.

We will win if we are good. Which I think we are, but I can never be sure. Probably due to following the club throughout the last 15 years.

Come on boys, get the job done.

150-50 win gets us to about 135 by my calculations so it'd be pretty tough.

Nice movie title

The Silvertails facing a hard slog back up the ladder looking enviously in the window as the AFC sip Chardonnay with the big boys.

As long as Murphys Law doesn't strike Adelaide by 1 point will do but I see 6 goals as a minimum.

Jon Snow = Crows top 4 chances
Lady Mormont = Rory Sloane

Game will be similar to last week I think. I think we'll win but not by a lot. I just don't think they have the firepower compared to us, and they're not in great form.

Last seasons game was way too close for comfort. Hope we can win by 3-4 goals.

You forgot Menzel!


Oh wait

Blue Crush would have been apt movie title. Not sure about the content, maybe Carlton players holiday plans for September.

Going on the record as expecting Thommo to hit mid 20's touches and at least a dozen tackles today with a more even 4 quarter performance. Should be his day.

 

[Glenno23]

With those conditions, let's hope we can get plenty of Joe the Gooses to ensure we still kick a reasonable score!

Doesn't look too bad out now, but the Storm is predicted for late morning early afternoon.

So pumped for today's game for some reason. Can't wait!

4 Premiership points thanks. This gem to lead the way.

Crows by 47.

Great movie title. Good movie back in the day.

Worked it out on the ladder predictor. 100 Points was the max it let me choose and we still fell short by 3%

 

[pjcrows]

Just win. Shitty conditions, away from home. Just get the 4 and we're in the 4.

 

[Crow54]

It would be really good to see a comfortable win today, but I'm not holding my breath. Probably more like the Richmond/Bulldogs game last night. We don't play well against Carlton. Plus, it's an early Sunday game, freezing cold. Bio rhythms could be very low.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Massively pumped for this game - Weather is not too bad at the moment here in Melb.

I was pretty nervous last week but honestly think we should do this easy, far too much class for Carlton... Their forward line on paper is lolworthy.

Sauce - Sloane - Brouch - Eddie - Tex to have huge games.

I agree although the weather may help us. They are not a high scoring team so conditions will really hurt them imo.

We could get a decent % boost just by keeping them to a very low score, 5-6 goals in total.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Carlton would need to kick 100+ pts to win today, I can't see that happening

Crows by 52 pts

 

[Alwaysacrow]

Crows by 38. I don't think we'll have it all our way for some reason especially if it's wet. Our forward line will be too much for them to contain though and I think we'll break even in the middle at worst.
If we're not top 4 at the end of this game I'll be disappointed.
