Chief why are you doubling up threads?

Can you drag the other one into this or delete?

Ps: Pies by 12 points.

 

[JD Tomahawk]

This should be a rippa

 

[Ulahoopski]

Crows supporters would have to be at least a little bit worried about this game.

 

[Anzacpaul]

Crows supporters would have to be at least a little bit worried about this game.

Quietly confident. Home game, big crowd, Thommo's 300th. Think we'll get up by at least 5 goals but upsets can happen.

 

[Infra Ted]

Crows supporters would have to be at least a little bit worried about this game.

Not really.... We haven't lost to a bottom 10 team since Phil Walsh died.

Obviously we could lose but I'm pretty confident.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Pumped for the game!

Can't wait to see the atmosphere with the yellow shirts

 

[bradrowe#32]

Don't like our chances. I don't think we've won at AO and our defense will struggle. Betts always kills us, Jenkins killed us once.

 

[Bonkers000]

Crows supporters would have to be at least a little bit worried about this game.

If it was in Melbourne I would be.

 

[Ulahoopski]

I'd be confident of a win too if I was an Adelaide supporter but there'd be a a seed of doubt after seeing the GWS game last week.

 

[Crows4Eva]

Fairly confident, tend to score big at AO. Collingwood has had a few good weeks but I'm not convinced they can do it on a consistant basis while Adelaide have been brilliant.

 

[Lsta062]

Collingwood could be a chance today if Adelaide are caught napping. But, if Adelaide play the way they usually play at Adelaide Oval, this could get ugly for Collingwood. I don't know if their defence will hold up against Adelaide's forward line.

 

[1970crow]

Crows supporters would have to be at least a little bit worried about this game.

I certainly am. Reckon it'll be close.

Tipping a draw

 

[Cleric]

Its well possible for us to lose tonight.
Coming off two games on the road. No Laird and no Brown, two of the best small defenders around.
The Pies are on the up and have a good team who has underperformed this year.
We might be a bit too confident and it might cost us.

 

[CrowingAway]

Little bit anxious... Have been expecting the crows to drop one they should win, this could be it. If the pies play like last week it should be a cracking game.

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Which Collingwood will turn up tonight? The one that pantsed GWS last week? or the one that folded meekly against Port at the G.

Pies best is very good......their worst is shithouse.

I think you will be right. Elliott and Fasolo out means your two small defenders aren't as crucial.

 

[HBF]

Crows by a mile tonight.

 

[Power Raid]

fingers crossed for a great game

 

[The King!]

Looks cold

 

[The King!]

I think Pies can win this , but crows should by 4 goals

 

[Fyfetheknife]

Why does Cloke always have some sort of yellowish stain on his jumper? Has anyone else noticed this? Seems to be there every week.

 

[HBF]

Betts.......again.

 

[Power Raid]

how good is eddie
