Round Four - Adelaide vs. Sydney

[SouthSwans]

I'm stumped here, really could not tell who's going to win this one. I hope I can be swayed the way of my team pending on their showing vs. Brisbane tomorrow, but really a crackerjack contest coming up.

Thoughts from Crows fans??

 

[SouthSwans]

PS. Anyone know if it is on FTA or they are showing the Carrarra blockbuster ??

Got my Tix for this one Thursday. Going with 6 mates. Should be a cracking contest.

You wouldn't think C10 would pass this one up for Kangas v Brisbane. I'd wager it would certainly be on FTA.

 

[RoosterLad]

criows win by 15 goals

 

[swanniez1983]

I'll be there. Swans by 12 points

If the guide printed in the Tiser last month is true to form it should be on Channel 10.

Channel 10 have this game on Saturday night, so it will be in HD. The Foxtel game is the BL Vs Kangaroos game from the GC.

Crows by 80 +

Sydney are our bitches.

We have completely had it over Sydney for some time now. Their gameplan just doesn't work well against us and I can't see this changing on the weekend. Crows by 30+ points.

Correct, it will be live against the gate as well on FTA. Ditto to the Collingwood game in 2 weeks. I will be there regardless though will be a cracker, but should be good to see the replay in HD.

Correct. For some reason we have always been able to overcome their game and play our own with great success.

Adelaide by 23 points.

The umpires might have some sort of a say in the outcome of this game. I just saw the game between the swans and lions today, and boy, if I was a Brisbane supporter, I would be fuming. 3 crucial decisions by the umpires resulted in goals to Sydney.

 

[Billythekid]

adelaide are hitting top form so would think a victory by 6 goals.

While it is true that for some reason Adelaide have been strong over the past few years when playing Sydney i dont think Adelaide will win by that much. I think it will be a very close game and im hoping that Sydney can just get over the line.

I agree that it usually is a very close game between the two sides and have been for some time. I think it will be another tough, hard at it game but I am hoping that Adelaide win and I believe we can.

Rutten can take on Hall. Bassett will most likely take Micky O. Haven't seen the Swans this year but going on last year you don't have an overly tall forward line which would allow us to keep Stevens in the forward line for 3rd week running.

Should be a good game and there is nothing better than a night game at Football Park. Night games are the best.

The Crows are quite used to this.

In yesterday's showdown, Port got three or four goals from free kicks in their forward line, while the Crows got none.

Unlike Brisbane, the Crows won the game anyway.

Yep

If I'm not mistaken we have 3 home night games in the next 4 weeks?

2 Saturdays and a Friday?

If relapse messages me I will be taking my son to the game ..

Adelaide to win but it won't be a blow out.

We seem to handle Sydney better than any other side handles Sydney.

Rutten and Bass are in great form and as Stiffy said should take their most damaging forwards. Who will play on Goodes though?

I'm loving Stevens up forward last few weeks as it stretches opposition defences. However,I don't think we want to get too comfortable with it because at some time we are going to need him back in defense I would think.

When is Kenny Mc due back again?

Agreed. Night games are awesome. Can't wait to get down there and flash my first ever season ticket again.

I wonder why that is.

 

[fightingdreamer88]

I wonder why that is.

The Crows are probably the only side out there with the big bodies to absorb the pressure you put on, which imo is the main advantage Sydney has over other sides.

What gets me is how Sydney's gameplan works well against the Eagles yet the latter are the Crows' bogey side.

 

[beck*]

Sydney are our bitches.

Exactly...
Weren't we the only team to beat the Swannies by more than a few goals in their premiership season?

Crows by 42pts
