Game Day Bombres v Crows, it will be a Marvel!

[arrowman]

Good morning from Port Fairy. Is it a sign of increasing apathy that we don't have a Game Day thread yet?

Thilthorpe to kick 5. Crows by 15. Let's go.

 

[SugarShane]

We're their bunnies. Essendon by 14 after we give them a 3 goal head start, then get within a goal in the last.

We always seem to struggle against the Bombers, especially at Marvel.
But I'm excited by the team we have selected again this week.
We might be half a chance to break the voodoo and lose a couple of spots in the draft
I'm a bit torn, but I love seeing Scott throw a tanty when they lose

 

[Carn The Texan]

6 goal loss. Very young team against our bogey side at our bogey ground.

Prove me wrong kids!

 

[Betts are off]

I am actually tipping the Crows. More-so because it's the time of the year where Essendon turn into a Pumpkin, and lose to the team in 14th.

Which could incredibly leave them outside of the 8 at the end of the round.

Don't choke now Bombers!

2 metre Peter out, so who does Butts go to? Fast deck, Butts to declare "general soreness" and Curtin to come in - more pace on the ball

Like last week, we look too tall again
We really don't have a match up for Butts do we

I'll be there, hoping for a replica of our last Marvel game this year. Maybe not as close though, nice little 3-11 goal win wouldn't go astray.

 

[GreyCrow]

I had initially tipped Essendon x 17 but after seeing there changes and ours I'm not so sure

I hope we open up the forward 50 for the FogThorpe

I hope we see intent in our game plan - go deep when we are open and short when presented with better options

Keays to kick 4 sharking the FogThorpe leavings , Murphy and Rachelle 2 each

Laird 40 back to back disposals and 121m gained

And yet because its at Marvel I think Essendon win just on a brain dead decision by someone

 

[Betts are off]

I assume he'll start on Langford or the resting ruck (either Draper or Goldy).

I'm not too concerned about being too tall TBH. I actually think the balance is pretty good. And could potentially end up a tough task for their defence

 

[GreyCrow]

I hope not too many people have arrowman on ignore

Playing Essendon away is one of my top 5 least exciting matchups to watch

1. Adelaide vs Geelong at Kardinia Park
2. Adelaide vs Essendon away
3. Adelaide vs teams coached by Ross Lyon
4. Adelaide vs Hawthorn in Tasmania
5. Adelaide vs Collingwood

Real "oh shit here we go again" vibes every time

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Not a good feeling about this one. I have no doubt we'll be competitive- we have been most or the year, but they'll hold us at arms length for the game then kick away

Bombers by 30

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

We just don't beat Essendon.

Them by three goals. The game will be over early, but we'll kick some junk time goals to make the final margin look respectable.

I thought for a minute you were down at Alberton with their love of bruise free footy

Beautiful part of the world. Love your positivity but can't see us getting it done.

We are such a dick tease team

 

[cleanhands]

We are such a dick tease team

Not at my age

 

[Betts are off]

Going to be very interesting game for Tex if we go well or bad.

If FOG and the Bear go well it could be a negative for his value in terms of resigning.

If they go great it could impact whether or not he gets resigned at all.

If our forward line is a complete cluster-you know what. Then he might end up with a fairly juicy 1 year contract.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Playing Essendon away is one of my top 5 least exciting matchups to watch

1. Adelaide vs Geelong at Kardinia Park
2. Adelaide vs Essendon away
3. Adelaide vs teams coached by Ross Lyon

Is this the order of our losing streaks?

Thins we have lost the last 7 to Essendon, including when we have been playing better than them... so would be a huge upset to beat them when they are travelling far better than us, but need the win to be top 4,

I think Thilthorpe will have a banger of a game and kick 4+
He’s been chomping at the bit to get stuck in and having kicked 2 goals in a quarter last week he’ll be unleashed this week.

Thilthorpe to kick 4+ and Fogarty to kick 2
Dawson to have 25+ and a goal and the Crows to win by 13 pts.

Haven’t got far to walk!
Bring it on, hope the beast kicks 8 and sends a warning to the comp for 2025
