Game Day Rnd 23 Adelaide vs Sydney

[FullyBigKPro]

It would be a very AFC thing to do dropping this game and then looking absolutely amazing next week against witches hats with nothing to play for and our season done.

 

[CrowBloke]

Thats 10 goals. And the rest?

Well, yeah, that's the problem isn't it?
I think 11.15 (or more) would be enough to win, so we'll need goals from any of Fogarty/Thilthorpe/Murphy + one or more of the mids.

Chaos ball isnt in our DNA yet , we will try and pick it up and get tackled or miskick it or a sloppy handball.
If I'm coach I would get tapes of Bulldogs games and instruct us to move the ball on in any manner possible, soccer , punch, slap etc - only try and pick it up if clear

Chaos-ball is default footy in wet/slippery conditions.
If they don't know what to do in the wet by now, they'll never know.
All of our talls should be bringing the ball to ground for the smalls to mop up and goal opportunistically, especially from behind packs where the ball will slip through off-hands.
Willyweather is predicting winds around 15km/hr from the West with a "medium" chance of showers from 5 - 9p.m.

Thinking of miskicks - Keays could kick 5.0 today

... or 0.5 if he has time?

We're not bad but we are better against top 4 sides than those around us. As seen by our 2-7 record against teams +/- 1 win on us including several pretty dismal showings.
Sydney are in red hot form too

Sydney haven’t beaten any top 4 side at all this year.

Their last 5 games -

Defeated Suns by 24
Defeated GWS by 11
Defeated Essendon by 2
Defeated Dockers by 29
Defeated Bulldogs by 2

Yeh, at home I reckon we will get it done. And Swans aren’t accustomed to night, dewy conditions either.

Crows by 25

 

[MsTopG]

Hopefully we can kick straight today.

We've lost to all of those sides this year except Fremantle

Very pessimistic about today.
I'm not going in with any expectations

Tex to light it up tonight. 6 plus, 20 touches, and a highlight reel 55m bomb to cap it off.

 

[FR0GGY]

Yep let’s get the win and have Tex in front for the Coleman going into the last round.

 

[MsTopG]

Is that Winky dink

 

[GreyCrow]

Is that Winky dink

Most certainly is

 

[Geoffa32]

Nicks first test under the pressure of an "Elimination Final".

If the game is tight, will be disappointed if the midfield CBA is Sloane Dawson and Laird.

Just gotta get Tex to kick at least 6 goals.

Not great conditions for a vintage Tex unfortunately. Hopefully wrong

The smalls will need to get it done

Tex has wet weather, goal poacher smarts

Not a great night for marking goals. Cheeky snaps and boundary throw in nudges however

 

[AmericanCrow]

It all comes down to this.

Do the 2023 Crows remain a non-finals ugly duckling? Or do we emerge as a beautiful finals swan?

Our home performances have been good. Our games against top four teams have been impressive. We've promised plenty this season and threatened to emerge from our five-year finals hiatus.

But eventually it comes down to winning a crunch game against a team who will be equally desperate.

We certainly haven't left any experience in the shed.

In the words of Phil Walsh:

"Just get the job done."

That’s elite

C’mon man

 

[BunjiMC]

I've got a spare GA ticket for tonight's game. DM me if you'd like it and will be loud at the game

 

[beartoo]

We will win. Don't care by how much, but 30 points would be good to protect our % advantage.

C’mon man

This will make you feel better. Next week 7:30pm WA time. That means add another 1 1/2hrs .

Why would we need to protect our % advantage?

For sides without a draw we have +272, Bulldogs +135, Saints +107, Essendon -16 and GWS -25.

Our % will cover all these sides if we all end up with 12-11.

 

[Milo Cyrus]

Blues getting jumped in the first qtr by the Suns, not watching or listening to it but don't they want a home final?

6:10pm WA time actually

 

[Eagleboy2011]

6:10pm WA time actually

My bad. Going off the AFL site I assumed WA time. See its ACST now. I swear I saw 7.30 pm when i posted. A trip to Specsavers may be a thing for my to do list.

They may have change it to accommodate AmericanCrow sleeping arrangements.

This is good for us. Suns won’t make finals, and will hopefully mean Carlton are breathing fire next week at home vs GWS
