AFL 2023: Predicted results for the first six rounds​

The first six rounds can set up or kill your season, and the AFL fixture has handed seven teams a big mountain to climb. See our tips for every match.

ADELAIDE FIRST SIX​

R1: GWS @ Giants Stadium (L)
R2: Richmond @ Adelaide Oval (L)
R3: Port Adelaide @ Adelaide Oval (L)
R4: Fremantle @ Adelaide Oval (W)
R5: Carlton @ Adelaide Oval (W)
R6: Hawthorn @ UTAS Stadium (L)
Tally: 2-4

I think we will beat the Giants and Hawthorn but potentially lose to Carlton and Freo. Either way it's actually a good draw with really only the Richmond game looking like a definite loss. Even with that game being at home I'd give us a chance.

We would want to be 3-3 after six games I think. Will be a tough year otherwise .

How come the filth can start selling tickets to their games but our games aren’t on sale yet?

Because they have lots available and are worried about cashflow

Embarrassing that they basically have the AFL spruiking for them for people to buy tickets

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Yep, when he’s missed games he’s come back for and strong. Also gets the team used to playing without him.

Good call by the coaches

Should be considering this approach for all players who would benefit from breaks to freshen up.

Smith would be another... but also younger players too who are not AFL hardened.

We also can use the sub too for this purpose.

Their games don't sell out...

i had a quick look at Ticketek and there's heaps of games that aren't on sale yet. Would be interested to find out the strategy here.

 

[Bearded Clam]

We'll say that we'll rest Tex now

Will we do it when the season is underway and there's pressure to get a win?

We're the politician on the election trail now, promising the earth. Tex will rest, Pedlar will play...

Yep.. I’ll believe it when I see it..

And the “tex is still coming around to the idea” line isnt exactly confidence inducing.. so he hasnt agreed to it yet at all!

So when Tex is still kicking his usual two to three goals a week and they ask him “how are you feeling?” and he says “perfectly fine”… are they gonna rest him?.

They should force him to rest for the games on the ovals that are notoriously harder on the body.. perth and docklands..

You try telling Tex he’s not playing

Don't think they would announce it if they weren't intending to go through with it.

But yeah, seeing is believing.

not sure, never needed to know. But there's tickets on sale all the way to round 23 but most of them only have 3 or 4 games on sale. Round 1 currently has 6 games on sale.

It’s all a part of Kochie’s plan..

not sure how port could be involved.

i highly doubt that roo is seen as a must keep.

One would hope not. But you just never know.

we've got a great record against Richmond at home, even in our poor years

freo we struggle with

yep he won't have any perth trips

maybe he will miss another longer haul game too

When did we last play Freo in Perth? Seems like we always get the weagles over there.

Because they're harder to sell if you're 0/5
Oh happy days

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

freo we struggle with

Not significantly

Home record

Rich : 15-7 (our way)

Freo : 15-9 (our way)

One the freo ‘home’ games was one we played in qld in 2020.

We have started the last two years at 3-3 and then fell in a massive heap.

I wouldn't say that the Tigers are a definite loss. We are 5-1 against them in our last 6 encounters at Adelaide Oval.

Four of our first 6 are at home. We should be aiming for a 4-2 start imo.

I’m talking recently …. 2017 onwards

5-1 over tigers

I’d go as far to say we will start even money chance in round 2

not for me.

our losses to freo have been pretty close. 1 point last year and richmond have improved more than they have.

Always a chance at home but I think if you are putting your house on us or Richmond I'd go with them.

I agree 4-2 is what we need given the favourable draw but don't think we will get there. The GWS game is a big one. I think they could slide below us on the ladder in 23 so we need to beat them.

If anyone wants a laugh Frampton is playing on Mckay in the intraclub Match for Collingwood.
