Game Day The "Watch It For The Kids" Special: Decimated Crows vs Sydney @ SCG

[Scorpus]

Sydney by an unbelievably large amount

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Could be brutal

Will Greenwood and CEY be able to stand up against their midfield?

 

[Donkey Magoo]

We're going to win. I can feel it. We will rebound hard after last week.

 

[Jack is Back]

I like to think that I am a passionate (or should that be obsessive) crows supporter. I can’t recall the last time I didn’t see a Crows game live or a live telecast (if you accept that watching the frequently crashing AFL App overseas is a live telecast).

Tomorrow I have two options;
Option A - My partner wants me to drive her to Bellagio and have lunch with a view of Lake Como
Option B - Watch the slaughter at the SCG at our apartment on the AFL App.

The decision is obvious, Bellagio will still be there on Saturday .

Sydney by an unbelievably large amount

Disrespectful.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

I think if we put Harry Dear for Rory Laird and Paul Hunter for Milera we will beat Sydney.

Talls > Smalls

You're one to talk.

Firstly, I think the best thing for The FOG is to play in the Twos this week. As a developing forward, you learn absolutely nothing watching the ball occasionally enter the F50 and you have to win a two on one to get a touch (although it will be pretty similar at the Ponderosa).

Like everyone else I can’t see the point of replacing The FOG in the forward line with Andy Otten. I expect Andy to play in defence or even as a big arsed midfielder but we will have to wait until tomorrow to find out whether we have a plan.

I found it odd the game is not televised Friday in the States. Seems they are airing stupid soccer instead.

I haven't had issues with app you seem to have---but surely I have jinxed myself now.

 

[John Who]

Otten in is to cover for the loss of leadership in Sloane, Betts and Mackay. Don't think he was chosen on the basis of him being tall or small.

Really looking forward to see the young'uns get their chance. Hope they're hungry!

 

[Shaz2012]

If we were playing Carlton or Brisbane at AO with a fully fit squad available then no matter what the score, I would consider a win as meaningless in terms of our flag hopes. Even a 100 point win. A loss however would be unforgivable and I would seriously question any chances we might have to win a flag.

I feel like tonight’s game is almost the reverse scenario. I don’t expect us to win and given the team that will line up, I don’t think a loss will really tell us much about our flag hopes. Assuming we get our players back, it would hopefully be a different team that plays in September. On the other hand, if we some how managed to win against Sydney it would be huge. The confidence we would draw from this in September from whoever performs would be immense.

It’s kind of a free hit.

We may be the only BFers awake.

I “have” to go to Europe every year for 4-5 weeks for “work”.

I usually stay in apartments so that may be why the AFL App keeps cutting out. I will find out tomorrow if the Swiss efficiency enables a trouble free reception of the massacre.

Sydney by an unbelievably large amount

My one and only visit to the SCG was R1 2001 to see Syd smash us by 10g in Hayden Skipworths first game. I remember Ayres copping a heap of abuse from the travelling Crows fans as he trudged off.

I'm back up there again tonight for Poholkes first game hoping for a very different result!

2 of our greatest backs against the wall wins have been at SCG - the one where Porplyzia kicked 5g with only one working arm in the late 2000s, and the 2012(?) game where Reilly took the mark of his career and Petrenko kicked the sealer.

 

[1990crow]

Otten and CEY playing make it hard.

 

[Swooping Crow]

I hope Don has some new scripted lines he can trot out after $ydney tears us a new one.

The sharks will be circling.

Sydney by 118 points.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

As long as we show 100% more endeavour than last week I'll be happy. We were going to lose this way before Sloane and Betts were ruled out so just looking for the effort tonight before a month at AO can hopefully put us back in the 8.

Sydney by 300

 

[Crowhorse]

The game we have to lose. What a player/fitness management ballsup this season has been so far and wonder if intervention was required just to get Sloane off the field. Here’s hoping we’ve rethought our strategy and Pykes starting to recover from his preseason madness.

Great experience for the youngens and hope this will be an opportunity to string a few games together from here.

Sydney by 94 pts, with a respectable effort up to 3 qtr time for Buddy and co to put on a Harlem Globetrotter like display in the 4th and blitz away.

We'll do it with a leg in the air. No problems

 

[Deaneus!]

I have no expectation of winning.

Currently in Bali. Will be watching the game. Happy to see a few young ones get a chance.

Yeah our massive forward line did the job last week

I think we'll be pretty competitive. Sydney by a couple goals.

 

[1990crow]

Going to the game flying down from Ballina so pretty excited no matter how bad we play.
Hope to see signs from Galluci, Poholke, Knight, McGovern, Doedee, Greenwood, Atkins and Milera that we have a group to work with post Sloane.

I am in Bali too. I should just copy and paste your sentence, lol.

Just going to sit back with a few beers and watch whatever unfold.
