Worried

[dbcrow]

I'm very worried about this weeks game. The Bulldogs always play well against us, and Adelaide haven't beaten them at Football Park since Round 11, 1996! I think there is a real chance of us being 9 and 8 after this week, and then against Geelong at Kardinia Park.

This week's game will be our biggest test for the year in my opinion, hopefully they can prove me wrong.

How confident is everybody else?

Cheers

The problem is our form is ordinary and/or very sporadic. I feel that our bad patch will end soon and we will have a purple patch. We did a similar thing last year. Around this time, we had a shocking game against Sydney at AAMI and then it all of a sudden started to happen.

The trouble is predicting when that will be. This week we should be the closest we've been in weeks to full strength. If the boys turn it on, the Bullys are not strong enough to stop us (no one is really).

The question is can we find the on button?

Critical game for us, but also for the Doggies, because if they lose it is probably curtains for 2003. Win this game & I feel confident we will make the 8. Lose it & we are in real danger of missing, as things are very tight.

I was thinking who we are going to put on Bandy as he killed us last time & the damage could have been worse if he had kicked more accurately. Kenny will probably get 1st crack, but we need a back-up as I don't reckon he is mobile enough for the athletic Bandy. Perhaps Biglands or dare I suggest Crowell (could he play 2 good games in a row)? Bassett is too small for my liking. Smart should play on Grant like last time.

We also need to think carefully about the midfield matchups - ie. particularly Johnson, Brown & West. Can anyone remember the matchups in round 1?

I'm just wondering who's gonna make way for McLeod, Stenglein and Johnson if fit. Gallagher, Shir, Ladhams and Crowell were all in the best players and would be really unlucky to get the chop for this week's game. I think Reilly and Nelson will be cut but can't decide who else. Which 3 should be dropped if the star trio return for this weekend's game?

no I am confident we can win this one. Our history against the dogs isn't great but I think we can win this week. With stinga, mcleod and maybe johnson back I think we have the goods.

Why not take some time to think about it? Say maybe a week or so?

It was Rhett Biglands that came off the bench against Luke Darcy and Daniel Bandy in round 1. He must do it again or else we give the role to Perrie (he got 2 goals on Bandy ) in round 1

The Bulldogs will not kick 21 points against the Crows like last time.

Crows by 7 points
