Preview Round 2 - Adelaide v Port Adelaide @ AO Saturday 13/6 @ 7pm

[footy4ever]

There was a time when this would bother me.

This year I welcome it.

Nope. **** Port. I'd like to fluke a win and then lose the rest.

 

[Danger_zone]

So no injuries means 22 players to not have a game

Ive gone a Squad of 26
F Stengle Walker Macadam
HF McHenry Fogarty Lynch
C Seeds Jones Sloane
HB Laird Talia Milera
B Kelly Macasey Brown
Ruck ROB B Crouch M Crouch
Inter
Smith
Poholke
Hamill
Sholl
Davis
Atkins
Frampton
Schoenberg

Replace Stengle (banned 4 games?) with Murphy (likely AFC pick).

 

[GameofSloanes]

There would be considerably more atmosphere and excitement at a preseason showdown in Port Pirie in front of 1,000 people than there will be at this in front of 0 people.

I wonder who's going to wave the scarves around during the INXS love ballad they play at the start of all their home games? Maybe Kochie and the 4 players on the bench will do it?

Get ready to cringe because I reckon they might

 

[GameofSloanes]

I would think so, and that's why it will never be on Channel 7.

It doesn't effect my enjoyment of the game, but having a game nation wide on 7 in front of a million people, with the hour lead in, the half time feature, the post match coverage would have to have a fairly big dollar value, especially if you get that every other week, as both a selling point to sponsors and potential supporters.

Look at it this way, less exposure for Port's sponsors

 

[footy4ever]

Replace Stengle (banned 4 games?)

Just reminds me how piss weak the AFC is. We should have timed it perfectly like Port did with Impy, so his ban would end just in time to not miss a match.

 

[Scorpus]

What's the oldest possible team we can select?

Excluding 0 game players

B Brown - Talia - Kelly
HB Mackay - Hartigan - Laird
C Smith - Sloane - Seedsman
HF Atkins - Walker - Lynch
F Knight - Frampton - Crocker
R O'Brien - B. Crouch - Gibbs

I M. Crouch - Wilson - Keays - Doedee

 

[fabs33]

When we tank this season can the AFL suspend one of Melbourne's assistant coaches?

We used to have a preseason training drill called the Goodwin Run...

 

[crows dude]

Replace Stengle (banned 4 games?) with Murphy (likely AFC pick).

Forgot about that

 

[Rabman]

So want to win this game, nothing would be better than beating those pricks wearing there stupid striped pajama tops.

 

[Tex200]

Excluding 0 game players

B Brown - Talia - Kelly
HB Mackay - Hartigan - Laird
C Smith - Sloane - Seedsman
HF Atkins - Walker - Lynch
F Knight - Frampton - Crocker
R O'Brien - B. Crouch - Gibbs

I M. Crouch - Wilson - Keays - Doedee

If we field the same 22 (which we can’t because Stengle) and they do as well the games played average:
Crows 93
Port 110

It’s not a massive difference but reflects they are a bit more advanced.

 

[hey shorty]

I'm never happy to lose a Showdown but I think this loss will be the most palatable we've ever had.

On our way to a top 5 pick.

 

[Captain Morgan]

So the one Showdown this year is a Port home game with no spectators.

Jokes aside, shouldn't this be a shared game. I am guessing none of our sponsors will be shown it will be all Port.

Would be interested to know if Fagan and co tried.to get some.exposure for our sponsors.


Port can have a pregame "entertainment to celebrate their 150th year to appease their supporters. No problem with that.

But we really should be sharing the corporate exposure given games at AO.will be limited this year.

Maybe we can do our own tarps ? Sorry, i’ll Give myself a 24 ban for that one.

Re: losing. We CANNOT have a losing culture. We g
Must go out and win and narrowly lose every other game this season

We had a top 5 pick last year

 

[Tex200]

We had a top 5 pick last year

One year after we really needed it.

Shrewd.

 

[Jack is Back]

Replace Stengle (banned 4 games?) with Murphy (likely AFC pick).

I could have sworn that Murphy was one of our better players in round one.

Two Lachie Murphys, sounds good to me.

I just want us to try, as opposed to last year.

 

[Mutineer]

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I’m very sure we’re not winning this one.

Port are a fair way ahead of us, will cook us easily.

We've been training in groups for longer

Should have an advantage

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

The second of many welcome losses for 2020.

All aboard the Pick 1 train.

We're going to get an absolute dream run from the umpires this season, I can feel it

We thought it would never come back!
We hoped it would kill off the shitty Vic clubs!
But here we are, round 2 of the season. We still didn't get the Friday night game because VFL, but hey!!

I'm not sure we're winning this one... I'll wait for the teams.

What do you think?

Pick 1 or 2. Come on down.

Brown Talia Doedee

Davis Fogarty Murphy
Atkins Kelly Jones Hamill

It's not bad on paper, it's just not what we were. Fully expect Mackay, Hartigan, Gibbs and Frampton to play though.
Might actually assist in getting that top 2 pick, whilst stalling development of our quality young players who will then ask for a trade home.

 

[Crow_68]

After years of ripping into Carlton for measuring a successful season on a top 2 draft pick, I’m ashamed that a % of our supporter base is happy to accept a loss to Kern’s mob in pursuit of this goal.

What a sad club we have become.

Is that Schoenberg with the Rory Atkins blonde hairdo at 0:12?

Looks like it. I don't quite know what it is with Schoenberg but he must play as soon as possible,

 

[brucetiki]

It's a bit confusing, looking at this its FTA into Melbourne metro and SA but no other states.

But it's also not showing the Thursday and Friday nights as 7 games here, so I think the website is messed up.

It's the channel 7 game.

Gold Coast v West Coast is the Foxtel game, but will be on 7 in Queensland and WA.
