Reading a series about Genghis Khan - they are epic!

Awesome - Genghis taught Patrick Cripps all he knows.

I will say that, while I agree with your point in essence, I would like our defensive footy to still see a net gain on the scoreboard. For example, the first half against NM - if we'd played slow, controlling footy and gone into the QT break 8 points up, then built on the lead and gone into the HT break 14 points up, and then blitzed them in the 3rd - that would have been much more reassuring than playing slow and conservative and going into half time behind on the scoreboard.

Can't win every quarter, of course. Would just be nice to see the boys implement the slow build up without that allowing the opposition to get ahead.

We just slowed down the slow build-up way too far in the first half against North, hopefully they've fine tuned this technique by today.

Gunna give the zipline a miss.

Maybe post game with 28 bourbons in me……

On a side note I bought my son a Giddey OKC top at start of last season he was disappointed I said don't worry son they will be contenders in a few years with there big three and so many first round picks coming and he will be a superstar like when Sam Walsh

Wonder how many AFL player’s pre game routine includes retail therapy?

Depends on how deep Harris Scarfe have cut prices.

 

[Wickzki]

For all of the Blues fans who have travelled over - thank you and enjoy the game! I'm married to a mad blues supporter, so whatever the result is both of us won't be happy!

Beautiful city you have over here.

Happy to be back here again

Thanks to all of you for the hospitality.

Of the additions this week, who's going to have the biggest influence tonight?

(a) Walsh

(b) Acres

(c) Kennedy

I'm going for Acres, he's just what we needed.

Acres. Think Walsh and Kennedy will be slightly rusty but better for the run.

I'm actually for Walsh. Yes, he may be a little 'rusty', but for Walsh that will mean something like 1st goal of the game, and 30+ possessions...

Walsh. He doesn’t accept other players having a bigger influence.

Interesting that even with our inclusions the line is only 2.5 points in our favor.
Getting ready for this to be a close one

The Conqueror series by Conn Iggulden. Thoroughly recommend

Just realised Adelaide's last 3 games have been at Adelaide Oval. Our game makes it 4 of the first 5.

Quirk of the draw given they played Port and Gather round happens to be in SA.

The 1 away game they lost to GWS who lost 3 or 4 players in game including Kelly and Whitfield.

So not sold on them yet, they need to win away. Plus they started strong last season before falling away.

We've got them at a bad time, 4th week in a row at Adelaide Oval.
