Strategy Changes v Adelaide

[perro_loco]

I don't even understand this, are we bringing in a heap of debutants this week?

Much happier with Fletch than roughy back

Clay doesn't leave a drop out on the paddock, always willing even if the flesh is weak

Same goes for Marty Boyd. Both have had good vfl form

Libba only missed last game due to injury and he was much improved in the previous game.

We won't get smashed in this game & we might well win.

WE WILL WIN THIS ONE. FOR SURE!!! I'M IN BRAZIL AND ABOUT TO DO A PREMIERSHIP MACUMBA. BACK TO BACK BOYS!!!

Confident about this. My wife has tipped against us for the first time all year. Gonna load up at 15 points plus.

Can see this either being a shock upset to us or we get belted by 60+ - struggle to see it being somewhere in between.

Happy to see Smith, Roberts and Liberatore back. Sounds like Matty Boyd has been good at VFL level so I'm fine with that. I am disappointed that we haven't included Webb and Williams because I think both deserve an extended run in the side but I guess you can't replace everyone

If we get a shellacking tonight you can expect one or both of these to be given what you wish for.

Feel the same. We win or get flogged. Leaning towards flogged so i hope i'm wrong.

So it's HER fault!
You could have saved us a lot of argument in the various "why are we shit?" & premiership hangover threads if you'd told us about this.

Anyway, she's forgiven. I'm just pleased to know we are back on track for bark2bark flags.

(You will make sure she never tips us again, won't you?)

They're bringing out the "fluked the premiership" crap on their board already

Probably because we (Crows) have had to put up with 'fluked' a premiership for 20 years now :-(

Are we the highest tacklers because we don't win the ball well anymore and are chasing tail though?

Maybe so, but we will need a lot more than a tackle advantage to win this. The list includes: team structure, effective game plan, motivation, disposal efficiency, consistency and -----. Well just about all facets of the game really!

With Rough and Libba alternating in the ruck we can't lose.
