Surely, it'll be slippery as?

Not great for talls.

Good bustling game for Cripps, Hewett, Kennedy to get their bodies in. Acres will enjoy it too. Important for Williams, Fog and Owies to stay low, play smart and crumb. And if this game we can't get a 4 quarter effort from Fantasia then not sure what else will lift him.

Just no more corkies for Weiters and no injuries as I'd like to be as healthy as possible for our game against *.

What's Cooper Lord like in the wet?

Genesis 6:19
The Lord commanded Noah to build an ark in which his family and “every living thing of all flesh” were saved from the Flood.

Don't think he minds it being really wet on occasion.

The ladder is tight again as it was last season. There will likely be sides who miss the 8 on percentage or very few points. Port are 3rd we are just 8th. Yet we are just a win away from them. If we want to play finals and push the top 4. This is one of those must win games. A loss will hurt and a win will be a big boost.

We got some talent back next week. Went back to one ruck. We had some things go well for us. Suns aren't that flash IMO but we were good.

We have managed to keep the same side so that is great. Tackling, pressure, speed. When we make changes that favor these three things we are a better side and that's what we did last week and we have kept that.

Never won at the Adelaide Oval. We have form over Port. This will be interesting.

 

[Neese]

Welcome to equalisation.
With a couple of notable exceptions, it’s rare for games to be one-way traffic these days.
Mentally we are much stronger than a couple of years ago. I hope it pours in Adelaide tomorrow - we will be up for the fight.

I have to sit through that

Reckon Saad will be cherry ripe for this one...

Can't see their mids getting the better of ours... that's where it's inevitably won or lost.

 

[Crippa#9]

Need to isolate Zirk-Thatcher as much as possible. The bloke is absolutely hopeless 1-1.

He’s their Marchbank

 

[SurreyBlue]

Looking forward to seeing if we can back up and get some continuity. Need too.

 

[katmanblue]

You can almost see him having his dirtiest game of the season tomorrow night.

Just win please

 

[JuddgementDay]

I’m looking forward to this game

We have to bring our best to beat Port in at home and we will

No changes is a great reward for the players and instil confidence

Us by 13 points

 

[dumb]

Our slower mids won't be as successful muscling the contests. Think the interpretation will be more subtle than people think though, avoid the 360's, still have to give the player some time to dispose, and more time than the crowd always wants.

 

[BIuebagger]

I ask for clearance dominance and large amount of forward 50 pressure acts tomorrow night please. Especially if it’s wet. I also want more of the Charlie Curnow

I saw in the second half of last week, coming up the ground at times.

Bogey ground for us. But Vossy and the boys seem to like breaking some streaks this season. Liking no changes and Gov being named. Pivotal games before the bye, we need to close the gap before the break.

 

[Michael Jezz]

Last time we played them was our best fwd line football. Mots and Jsos crumbed 6 goals. Cunners amazing kicking into f50 but williams will compensate. We look faster on paper. The Power's form is scratchy
Blues by 13 points

Jesus you two...have some faith...have some optimism. Enough with the doomsday vibes. So what if dickson plays? We have curnow and mckay!

Maybe they meant a 24hr Doom Eternal binge!

Todd Marshall has been playing well for Port. Also one to watch.

Not really. Has kicked goals against the bottom 2 teams (4 against Richmond and 5 against Nort). Apart from that he has kicked 9 goals in 9 games at a goal a game. Would suggest that he is a bit of a flat track bully, at least this year.

 

[Garters]

Genesis 6:19

Sounds like has some leadership qualities as well. Thats good...

 

[Beyond Blue]

Never won at the Adelaide Oval. We have form over Port. This will be interesting.

We have never won against Port or the Crows at the Adelaide Oval but we have won at the Adelaide Oval this year…against Freo.

 

[teddy-hopkins]

I think that Butters and Horne-Francis will be more impacted by the new rules interpretations than any of our players.

That's a good point.
