Preview Round 8 Faceoff: GWS Giants v Adelaide @ Spotless Stadium

[FantasticShirt]

Unfortunately I haven't mate. Considering how much of your produce I drink every year in Coopers (red, green and stout) and your beautiful reds, I'm yet to travel to your fair state.

My old neighbour in Sydney is from Adelaide, up in the hills, and he told me about the Farmer's Union. I tried one,gotta tell ya it's pretty bloody good!

Welcome.

It outsells Coke (the drink) in Adelaide by a handy margin apparently. Diabetes in a carton really, but yeah, it is pretty bloody good.

Shower or two? Won't have an impact.

80% chance of rain according to WeatherZone but doesn't look like much in it at this stage. Would be a lot more confident if it was raining. Just not got a good feeling about this game at all....but then again I did have a great feeling going in to the WB game....

Can always go to the Feel Good version which is still bloody tasty but less fat and sugar. Matty Jaensch's drink of choice, must be good.

Ground ball key this week.

Speaking of Farmer's Union, who was that young kid that took the one handed catch at the Adelaide Oval whilst holding a Farmer's Union and a pie?

He was rated by Patrick Keene as an SA junior footy prospect. Did he get drafted?

Don't mind the Feel Good one actually, but I don't drink much of either anymore, so if I'm getting one, I go for the real deal.

Unfortunately shower or two won't help much.

Unless it is like the shower or two we have had the past 2 days.

Sounds a bit like Footy Park.


I just remember one thing I do miss about going to Footy Park. The Kidman Park Scout bbq. I always got my bottle of water and a snag (or three) from them before the game. Now I get my bottle of water from Con at the Railway Station deli. Only $2.20 for a 600ml Cool Ridge.

What is water?

The AFL match preview articles have Geelong beating Carlton by 11 points, but have GWS beating us by 40 ... 40

Peter spurling. Tall ruckman but don't think he got picked up

That's a shame. Well I hope they made an ad out of it. Or at least sent him a carton!

Good thing they don't decide who wins or really have any authority at tipping a winner.

 

[xazos79]

we do have some forwards in good form, I also thought that Tex got his mojo back last week

That pick-up below the knees and diving handball in one motion.... </drool> Best big man below the knees in the business.

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

My first time at this stadium. Where do Crows' fans sit?

Wherever you want - just not in the members stand or the members reserve.

 

[Jinglebells32]

Yep - Looks like a deserved contract extension is nearly sorted.
It was an open secret that he was co-coaching with Sheedy in 2013.

You've got a good mix now of senior players to go along with some more games into all of your talented young players who are nearly all first round draft picks. I'm definitely a bit worried this week with a few of our gun mids missing. Should be a good game.

 

[beartoo]

From the teev news tonight it sounds like JJ will be back.

Ground ball key this week.

It is every week... Question is whether we want to win it, or lose it?

recommend the Dark Ale too mate

one of the most glorious things I've ever seen him do, a thing of beauty that was.

Sports bet has GWS at $1.60 and us getting $2.30 which feels about right.

Depends who come up good this week, but even still it feels like we've got a fair bit of patchwork going on. But no excuses. We should be good enough. GWS have been good the past 2 weeks, but let's not forget 3 weeks ago West Coast toweled them up to the tune of 87 points.

You gotta win these games if you want to play September footy.

Way too much love for gws on this board right now , about time we start to hate them like a colligwood or a Carlton...over indulged by the AFL , no soul , new kids with all the talent . Don't give them an inch , lets give them another smacking this week , 5k of their supporters they don't deserve ot , don't want it .... Hopefully don't get it . We win this and finals are just about pencilled in

Must win it this week I think, and well. If GWS get clean ball out of congestion we're in strife.

What is water?

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's how beer starts out before they add all the good stuff to it.

Absolutely agree. The boys need to come and and be absolutely ruthless like a pack of horny wolves salivating at the mouth and destroy them. We just need to win games like this. GWS fans probably dont understand the rules of the game so they won't care either way.
