Collingwood beat WC earlier this year with half their squad out and their backs against the walls, I suspect this week will be the same.

You can't honestly think that Adelaide and West Coast are remotely comparable, surely.

Hang on, weren't you on our board earlier predicting Pies to thump us? How does that go into 50/50?

Well they have a superior record against the Top 4 sides as a start (that is WC)
That means they have a superior record to C'wood against top 4 sides as well, seeing both sides have only won 1 match against them.
The Crows spanked WC by 72 points 3 weeks ago. The two sides are not comparable.

Collingwood cannot beat themselves (I still think they do sometimes) so it's an unrealistic comparison to compare Collingwood's Top 4 record as our sample size is only 3 against your 4.
The Eagles are superior to Adelaide against the Top 4 (stating fact).
Bitter much?
What gets me, from both points of view, is someone says they're 'certainties' 'book it' etc...then tip the team by less than 25 points.
If it's a certainty, than surely you're confident they'll do it in style?
Cleary anything can happen on the day to sway 4 goals either way. Harden up if it's 'in the books'.
IMO, could go either way, like most finals games.
From here, there are no certainties.

Well, if you put it that way, then it just goes to show how useful a good record against the top four isn't, considering WC finished 11th, and how poor a measure it is for comparison of teams.

All it says is that Adelaide beat up on mediocre sides & struggle against the Top 4. An arrogant ADL fan dismissed WC, yet WC are better proven against the Top 4 than ADL.
I think a more relevant discussion is Top 6 (the 6 sides left) & how Adl compete.
Geelong - 2 Losses from 2.
St. Kilda - 2 Losses from 2.
WB - 1 Loss from 1.
Coll - 1 Loss, 1 Win.
Brisbane - 1 Loss from 1.
Not such a great record is it.

all games are 50/50
Crows will dominate 90% of the game. But only by 25-30 point win

If you think you will just lob Saturday night and kick 26+ goals against Collingwood please think again.
Collingwood beat Adelaide in there yard only 4 weeks ago by 4 goals.
Yes and before you Adelaide plebs clog the thread with with "Inside 50 stats" "Contested pos stats" "Hit outs stats" "Running bounces stats" and god knows what other stats you won on the night we all know there is only one stat that matters and that's the one on the scoreboard.
It'll end in tears for your so called 25,000 pleb army making the trip over the border just like it did in 2002 and 2008
Pies by 24 points.
Pleb army v toothless army. Should be good
And where in this thread has any crows supporter said we are gonna just rock up and kick 26 goals? Most are saying its gonna be 50/50.

I think it will be a close game and wouldn't mark either team down as certainties.
The bookies don't just pull numbers out of the air. It's where the money is going.
So in conclusion, Collingwood and Adelaide are both certainties. I'm confused. Hopefully it won't be close either way. I hate close finals.
Go Crows!

And yours is hardly scintillating either - yours included an 88 point thrashing by St Kilda and ours a 2 point loss against Geelong. All irrelevant now.
Fact is, it absolutely means diddly squat who did what to whom and when, when those boys run out onto the ground on Saturday night. It will all come down to who wants it more.

Crows by 32points will be a similar game to when we played Hawthorn at the G a few weeks ago, the arrogance of Collingwood supporters is beyond belief, lost Pendlebury, gave Scott his marching orders and the midfield has turned into a rabble, Fraser dodgy knee, yet you think this game is won
If Collingwood play as poor as they did against St Kilda and if Adelaide are up and firing as they did against Essendon (or as they have been over the last few weeks), i'd expect Adelaide to win.
I want Adelaide to win, send Collingwood packing and be this seasons Port Adelaide

All this Crow pleb dribble reminds me so much of last years EF
Dribble hey???? what are we dribbling??? I think 53 goals in the space of two games isnt dribbling.
See how many you kick Saturday night pleb.
More pure comic genius.
