EFA

 

[WWSD]

Richmond vs Adelaide is the hardest game to tip this Round.

Adelaide's forward-line or ''offense'' is as potent as Hawthorn and West Coast's.

The Crows have many avenues to goal and they can score heavily on their day.

I think Richmond are still too dependent on Jack Riewoldt up forward. They need a better output from Vickery and Griffiths if they are to win this game.

Alex Rance vs Taylor Walker will be a great dual to watch.

This game being at Etihad might give the Adelaide Crows the slight edge as they do play quite well at that venue as apposed to the MCG.

Port 20 points 47k.
Saints 6 points 70k big crowd for 66 granny celebration.
Richmond 24 points 42k.
Giants 6 points 30k.
Suns 30 points 16k.
Dockers 2 points 38k.
Kangaroos 36 points 10k.
Hawks 10 points 39k.
Cats 27 points 26k.

Ok, I've got to bite. How do you think Richmond will keep Adelaide to 54 points at Etihad? The last time we were kept to this low a score was R12 2014 by the dockers and no offence to Richmond but I'm sure that even their fans will concede that they don't have anywhere near the defence the dockers had in 2014. Disclaimer: Freo did keep Adelaide to 57 in a game in 2015.

If Richmond are to win, they need to score over 100 points (which they are of course capable of).

IMO, Richmond keeping Adelaide to a score of 54 points to win the game is more likely than Richmond scoring above 100 points to win the game. Remember that Richmond were able to keep Hawthorn (the best offensive team) to just 53 points last year in round 18 after Hawthorn scored 115 points, 146 points and 173 points in Rounds 15, 16 and 17 respectively.

If they want to win this game, they would need to play much better than the way they played the last two weeks though. If not, they may get done by 50+ this weekend

I agree and disagree. Nobody is talking about the concern of Us getting 75 inside 50s. We also through poor transition gave the Crows a dozen goals. Our transitional defense is terrible. Richmond probably won't let it happen.

Do you not think there is a correlation there in that port were playing their forward press and getting multiple inside 50's, but by pressing forward your forward line was congested but Adelaide's forward half wasn't. This therefore allowing Adelaide to use their potent forward line to score many length of the field goals.

Sure Adelaide would prefer not to concede that many I50's but equally perhaps they used one of ports perceived strengths (their forward press) against them.

If things went their way the Gold Coast could easily be top of the table after Round 3.

I agree. That was half of my point.

I want to tip Greater Western Sydney this round, I've been staring at this game for 15 minutes, my gut tells me to tip GWS, but logic says tip the Swans. hard game to tip.

Help Help! 911...

You got Macaffered

But this year you are proving you are not a one man team, in fact on the weekend one could almost say Fremantle were the one man team, Fyfe did pretty much everything. Now your boys have grown up even if Gazza went down again I think your team would still win more then they lose.

 

[jamaican_eagle]

Seriously think Hawks will win by 112 points? North by 2 points? lolwut

I originally had it at 113 but I felt that the Bulldogs have shown enough in the first two rounds to justify the 112 points.
