Game Day Adelaide Crows v GWS, 7.20pm 7/9, Adelaide Oval - It's Time

I'm remarkably calm today.

Got up to a glorious Brisbane morning and took the dog for a run. Breakfast on the deck - put on my favorite Crows coloured shirt.

Arrived at work and on my desk is the footy tipping trophy that is returning to my desk after a year at someone else's, in it an envelope with $200.

Heading to the pub tonight with a few of the other South Aussie expats to watch the game!

Went for a coffee - not really thinking about the game. Well, maybe a bit. Anyway, then started thinking back to the 90's, when I had a cleaning job at Footy Park to pay my way through Uni. My Aunty used to run the cleaning contract - and always could get me into the games - which was great for a poor footy loving uni -student.

Anyway, where was I. Oh wait, I'm rambling aren't I? No I'm not, I said I wasn't nervous. Honestly I'm not.

OK - I bloody am alright!

Just get the job done. 3 more wins!
Amazing weather we're having isn't it!! Where do you lot watch Crows games up here?
 
Might have been asked already, but is Thommo getting a send of lap tonight? Surely...?

If so, anyone know what time?

lets do it today boys!!!! no sloane no problem. Has rings of 97 to it. we had alot stars out in 97 and this group has gotta rally and get it done.

GWS' list for some reason matches ours really well, even in the middle. Wont be much in it and quietly confident. Hopefully the coaches will have been all over the boys during the week. bad performances dont just happen, there would have been a loss of focus and signs pointing that way during the last 2 weeks. our main problem is staying focused on winning 3 games in a row. sometimes my biggest fear is when we win a big emotional final. we almost never pull up the next week. We got a job to do and it dont get finished till the last weekend of September!

Confident that the issues of the last few seasons have been ironed out and we will be the ones turning on the heat! I will be very disappointed if the hard physical stuff comes out and we are like deers to headlights like last year. We should expect nothing less than the intensity of the Geelong game or the sydney final last year EVERY game from here on!!!

First 10 minutes will set the tone, and also my confidence levels for the rest of our finals campaign. They must start 100% maximum plaid and leave nothing in the tank. What ever luck comes our way, next man up!!!! Comon Crows!!!! Crouch to be BoG, dont care which one! ha!
 
No Roo either, would've almost put money on him getting the power game. Maybe he's on MMM
They don't look like Foxtel commentators? I'm I right in saying that?

Edit. Yes I am. (Note to self.... just keep reading, someone always comes up with the answer).

Time to drive to the pub for a few nerve calmers.

GWS have the best players in the AFL but are they the best team?

Everyone must play their role including us. I'm talking about the Crows v Collingwood match at Adelaide Oval when the umpires couldn't hear the siren. It's time to crush them with our noise.

Tex and Ediie to kick ten between them and THE MIGHTY THOR to SOAR.
 
What I want to see:

A win (duh)
Crouches with 60+ combined disposals.
Greenwood with the most tackles on the ground.
CC with 2 goals and 5 tackles (kicked 2.3 with 6 tackles in Rd 1)
Eddie with 3 goals (kicked 4 in Rd 1)
Tex in "out of my way pricks, I am the captain" mode
At least 5 players with 5 tackles
Laird with 30 disposals at 85% efficiency (he averages 30.1 @ 81%)
Lever makes us sad that he is going (rather than making us angry he hasn't already left)
Talia in full body blanket mode.
Seed and Smithers combine for 30 kicks
Sauce in "I am the true AA ruck" mode.
McGovern with at least 2 "holy crap, I reckon we got him cheap" moments.
JJ plays like he has had a man conversation
We all play with intensity from the get go
We all play with intelligence
 
I have this feeling the Grand Final will us v Sydney.

Which does not bode well for us tonight.

They interviewed Paul Roos on "Jesalenko You Beauty" on SEN today, he tipped an Adelaide v Sydney GF.
Good interview too.
 
I reckon this is the most important game since 2005.

Win and the wind in our sails might just carry us all the way home

Lose and it's over.

Good to see you're an optimist. Lose this game we'll smash the crap out of Port or the Eagles the following week and I'll be betting my life savings on us and then I think we win the week after at the G as well. The benefit of this is that we get to play an extra game which in years past has been a bad thing but it isn't nowadays because of the bye.
