Preview The Adelaide Blues v Carlton Crows or the Eeeeddiee Cup

[mattymac]

That's what I thought last year....


But after sorting out Melbourne in the second half last week I'm much more confident of a bigger win this time.

Dank winter Sundays in Melbourne definitely bring out the worst in us

I like this logo you have used, I would be happy for the club to go with it.
Hoping for a big win, I just don't think Carlton will be able to score.
Charlie to kick 5

I think the A should be replaced with a premiership cup.

 

[Combathorse]

I think the two long breaks we had might have put us out of step a little and it showed against Melbourne with us stuttering with our skills a bit and finally clicking in the last. Now we're on a normal break and playing on the MCG for the second time in a row I fully expect us to put Carlton to the sword.

Crows by 70+

 

[weekend at bernies]

this is what i want us to do

Is that Fages and Twiggy???

I know we lost the 1993 Semi Final, but the Harry Madden Goal vs Shaun Rehn is highlight worthy in a funny way!



But my favorite Crows v Carlton highlight, was this

That Ricciuto handball!

Anything less than a 10 goal win is a failure. They were terrible against Collingwood last week.

 

[Geoffa32]

Should be a good percentage boost against our feeder club.

Would like for us to consolidate the win in the first quarter, start strong, then put foot down for next three.

A 100 point win would be handy given how important percentage will be.

 

[rocket18]

Love that we are wearing our Yellow Strip!
Just proves my point that when you're winning that's all that matters.

I know I am in the minority but I like the yellow strip for an away jumper

I like it too.

 

[Tex200]

There's no 10-15 goal win here I don't think.

Carlton have been very tight defensively all year, would put it more in the 30-50 point range.

 

[Sam_Malone]

I like it too.

Me 2 but I liked the red one as well.

They are missing some now. Not sure how vital in Def they are but it would be #concerning for them.

... and Essendon.

Who do they have out besides Murphy?

 

[displacedaussie]

We don't have to worry about Pannell this weekend. It looks like he's been dropped to the reserves!

Umpires for Sunday:

11 - Curtis Deboy
17 - Justin Schmitt
32 - Jacob Mollison

I'm glad I don't recognize any of these guys

 

[Deaneus!]

I'm glad I don't recognize any of these guys

A 12 year old, a bloke who says things like "back in my day" without a hint of irony, and a bloke you have to explain everything to at least twice.

Fantastic.

There's no 10-15 goal win here I don't think.

Carlton have been very tight defensively all year, would put it more in the 30-50 point range.

Apart from the Geelong game, we have been averaging over 100pts against the best defences in the comp, and Carlton are nowhere near that.

Carlton will need to find a way to score for it to be under a 50 point margin, or else something has gone drastically wrong.

If Crows are on, it should be 60+.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves, it's in Melbourne so honestly I would be happy at this stage with a 1 point win

 

[arrowman]

I have put $ on Crows to win by 40+. Therefore I am qualified to predict the margin.

Crows by 39.

 

[Mattrox]

Who do they have out besides Murphy?

Not sure, just heard defenders out. Byrne, ottomh, not a big name out but has done well in def. I'll check injury list.

 

[Mattrox]

Ok it's only Byrne. Must not have been listening closely enough.

I agree mate, Actually bought one! Don't agree with my complexion hahah

I don't think it will be a failure. It will be disappointing for sure if its less than 10. But lets not totally disparage our opposition. Its not the Mick Malthouse Blues this time
