So from our best 22 we have these missing
(a) Lecca
(b) JK
(c) Darling
(d) Barras

Thats 3 A grade players and 1 getting close it to it. Now we have to rely on
(a) Mcinnes
(b) Schofield
(c) Hutchings
(d) Jetta

I do hope that Ainsworth and Achee cement their place because if they do then thats out Jetta and Hutchings
 
Yep it's not looking good, unless a 9 day break has somehow turned them around and they play out of their skins
or magic rainbows descend over the stadium and a miracle occurs?
Happy to be proved wrong of course....
Same here we have to turn this into a scrap and win 58 and 54 haha

Crows have following 6 missing from their best 22:
Crouch Brad
Betts
Smith
Lynch
McGovern
Knight

... but have a far stronger side with the return of the 2 good Rorys & Brown, offset by the loss of Betts.

Whilst we are both missing half our forward lines, ours still has some potency, which could be the difference as you are missing your best 3.

Imo, you have the edge in the midfield, but they will need to dominate to win imo.

I'm feeling the most confident this week that I have for while... but not saying much as expected us to get belted in the last game.
 
I just can't see us kicking a winnig score without Kennedy and Darling. Even if we smash the midfield, where do the goals cone from?

Waterman to kick 10

This.

The backs can hold up, Nic will dominate the drop of the ball and the midfield can compete when they pull their collective fingers out of their arses, but I cant see where our goals are coming from.

Adelaide will skip away to a 3 or 4 goal lead at some point, and we wont be able to catch them.
 
I have a better feeling about this week than last week.
If you look at our last two games we've had enough scoring shots to win. Just have to fix the accuracy. The ball is getting there and the forwards are having a crack so there is a chance of putting up a competitive score.
 
Critical we don't let the Crows jump out of the blocks. The pressure to goal if we are under the pump on the scoreboard will be like poison to our forwards confidence.

If we can get away to clean start and dob a couple it will make a big difference mentally.

Play Yeo a FF or in defence to cover McGovern. Shuey to return to form. NicNat and Lycett to play angry.
You say that like it's actually in our control.

Unfortunately "Shuey to form" isn't actually a tactic you can just readily employ, or i'd "Marsden to form" every single week until he wins the Brownlow.
 
Who will carry the midfield?
Yeo, Shuey, Gaff, Redden, Nicnat, Lycett, Hutchings, AhChee, Ainsworth, Rioli...
these are just names I found hanging around the midfield area...
not sure who's carrying them?
-----------------------------------------
Also curious - if we were beat up and sore from Swans game with 6 day break into the bombers game
and missing some key forwards...how then does this game translate, going into it after a 9 day break with the hindsight/experience of already playing without JK+JD (and now Lecca)...?
You'd expect a refreshed and fired up team..they were well aware of their limp performance and got some bad press from it. So they'd definitely be wanting to atone for that....but can they overcome the additional
challenge of a patched together forward line? They can't just line up the same as last week surely, there has to be a change eg- the swinging Gov.
And they've always played well there against the Crows.
Who knows, they might get up...
