Preview Round 20, 2024: Adelaide Crows v Hawthorn, 28 July 2024, 4.10pm AEST @ Adelaide Oval

[TylerDurden]

Gee their defence looks absolutely rubbish on paper.
We get enough supply, and this should be a big win.

Speaking of ‘on paper’ their midfield is very underwhelming - Dowling, Bond, Sholl, Laird, Berry.

We should on paper have a clear edge in the middle, and can see this game turning a bit ugly for the Crows.

They have been going ok. At home, should be a contest.

Yeah I agree.

The crows are typically a better team than the sum of its parts.

We’ll need to be on our game.

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Going to be tough to make changes.
I’d give McKenzie a run at box hill. Seemed to struggle last couple of weeks at AFL level and hasn’t been running out games well. Maybe a block of games at (2-3) box hill, to help build tank would be best?
He’s not a vfl player, but might benefit from full games

 

[Bugs1977]

The Crows board reaction to this tweet in there preview thread is hilarious. They all hate Nicks so much.

Oh and some dude thought Koschitzke still plays for us

 

[Delecate Des]

110% chance we win this

 

[Endorphin Machine]

Expecting this game to be a lot tougher than last week . While we were very good , the pies effort was very ordinary. Another good challenge for this young group.

 

[earthworms]

Isn’t clarko’s good mate curts debuting for them this week?

 

[CHUBBSS]

Cannot take lightly how inspiring Sicily has been for the young group, his captaincy throughout the injury has been first class. We have some seriously strong leaders setting standards for the long term. Can see the kids really lifting to a new intensity here.

Congrats to Sic on being one tough bastard on top of being a genuine superstar

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Just turn up. More interested in GWS

One week at a time. Just get the 4 points and come home.

 

[Walshawk]

A named starting 18 player can not be dropped except for injury.

That is no longer the rule. We’ve done it half a dozen times this season.

 

[RustyHawk]

Great to the see the club have so many good players to chose from.

The easiest selection would be Gunston as the travelling emergency.

After that... whomever gets dropped or gets the sub vest can feel unlucky or they justify giving someone a rest before the last run to the finish.

Dear certainly had a leg/foot issue just before he was subbed off against Collingwood. His reaction was more like someone stood on his toe/s. Maybe he gets a rest?

Finn looked good when he came on.

Surprised to see McKenzie dropped and glad to see him back.

Still believe the club want to get 100 games into Morrison before the end of the season when his contract runs out.

 

[Brucie Buffer]

Ginni has cut all his hair off too for this game, will send all our superstitious supporters into a spin

 

[Cleavy]

The worst time slot. So much waiting!

 

[badgrill]

That is no longer the rule. We’ve done it half a dozen times this season.

And yet, every single week...

 

[Flukey!]

The worst time slot. So much waiting!

I hate it.
Next year hopefully we are on Broadway and get the better slots.

Ginni and Nuke.


Delilah had better not be in town.

 

[SammyC]

We need to win the midfield and slow them down when they have it.

They like to play fast and frenetic. So pressure and defensive system is key.

If Ginni and Nuke star then those supporters will be down at training next week with clippers giving out free cuts.

At least he and Jai will split the blame if we lose.

Clearly I was late to this party…

Delilah had better not be in town.

Why? Why? Why?
