Will Adelaide go easy against WCE?

[pjcrows]

Crows never get injuries

Umm...

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Me too. But given it's location I think they need to build a new train station there. Dunno if any plans are in the works.

New train station is almost finished and is right next to the ground.

Adelaide won't want Port week 1.

Adelaide v West Coast won't change that, Port finishing 4th is dependent on Richmond

 

[Alwaysacrow]

Crows never get injuries, which helps. Their reserves team in the SANFL is getting thumped every week.

Crows have had plenty of injuries this year albeit now fortunately we're doing ok ATM. Port have actually been one of the luckiest teams this year for injuries as were the Crows last year.

Why do Adelaide seem to go to sleep for long periods, is the key question Don Pyke should be addressing. They need to be fully on for all 4 years come finals. If they can do that, they're favourites.

 

[Suma Magic]

Not so sure about this, as Greenwood probably needs the rest more.

He will get a week off next week. And potentially a week off two weeks later.

I think the issue is not enough game time. You'd only be testing Talia and Walker if they were carrying injuries or niggles. With the week off no teams will be resting fully fit players.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Beech and Greenwood come in for Betts and Sloane.

Smith, Laird, M Crouch to heavily rotate off the bench. Jacobs and Jenkins to split rucking 50:50.

Eagles to win ruck count 80:3 with zero body contact.

 

[ManUp2016]

Freo, West Coast and Saints to win today all by big margins

 

[threesixpio]

I wanted the Dees to go well but f*** them after yesterday. Don't deserve it

So Crows should throw the match

 

[davywap]

I think having Tex out for a "toe" injury means yes. And they'd be doing the rest of the top 8 a favour if they do because

1. They'd be keeping out Melbourne (for the lulz), and
2. West Coast would get in and whoever gets a home final against them would be licking their lips, so they're practically eliminating one team before finals even start by losing to them

There was a report that Greenwood has a family illness

We're not the flat tracking home ground specialists we once were a few years ago where it was virtually impossible for opposition sides to win.

We're the 3 quarter specialists this year. Behind adelaide, we are second in the comp I believe for time in front, we just can't execute it.

Adelaide to sunday cruise past us and JK to kick 4.3 to rip our hearts out of no finals and no coleman medal.

Most likely scenario would be Port at the AO where I think we'll be destroyed by 10+ goals. But take it as it comes. If this likely scenario occurs, though, I'd honestly rather see what Melbourne can do in finals.

Port Adelaide aren't as good as you think they are. It's easy to get tricked into thinking they're a good team when they come off a 15 goal flat tracking of a terrible team like Gold Coast

If we carry this form and desperation into the game in 2 weeks we have a real chance. Impressed with the boys!

That scoreline suggests they are a good team. 27 to 22 scoring shots.

 

[Drewie11]

We obviously took it easy

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

I feel we could have forfeited that game, we would have. In fact for large parts of it, it seemed like that's what we were doing.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

No. You just couldn't score.

West Coast played really really well. I wouldn't be surprised if that result happened at any stage of the season. We were putrid and their pressure was too good. Kudos

Oh I've been away 4 years. Good they've already built it.

If I was a Crows supporter, I wouldn't feel too secure, they've looked like this too often this year for a top team. Least convincing minor premiers for awhile.
