Oh ffs.
Adelaide have more scope for improvement than the Swans.
There, I said it.
Are we happy?

Cheers for the 2nd most stupidest post tonight. Yes I own the 1st
I will chase it up but Walker has said he has dropped some weight as have others.Have a look at Geelongs players. Oversized.

It's the hoops. They make you look fat.

Cats in Geelong has always been a bit of a tough one for them.
TBH, the cats seem to be their bogey team of late.
Dees @ TIO may not suit them if their is a torrential downpour.
Essendon at Etihad if we have pulled our finger out. 10% chance of that happening, but if they are going to repeat Essendon of 2000, they need an upset loss to spur them on. Happy to provide it
A bit like West Coast in West Coast.
No wonder the Cats make the finals every year.
Richmond don't actually have a home ground advantage or slink away to a ground when they are struggling.
Richmond also only rarely have to venture more than a couple of miles from their home ground.
They also have one of the league's easiest draws this year, with repeat matches against St Kilda, Fremantle, Brisbane and Carlton.

Yep. The Minor Round is about making sure you play Finals. Once there its a new season and the better teams are there. No beating up on minnows , just hardened teams all wanting the same prize.
And they don't live in another state either.
West Coast players don't necessarily live at Subiaco, but Domain is a lot closer than Melbourne.

Yes because we've struggled so much with our 64 per cent winning record interstate (doesn't factor in away games in Melbourne) under Chris Scott. We've perpetually had to rely on getting back to the fortress to win games.

Remember when Adelaide were world beaters under Craig but never made a GF. And their epic choke last years tells me until they win an important game (ie a qualifying final) they aren't sure things.
There has been no bigger disappointment than the Crows since 98. Not one.

Whilst I think we are playing a good brand of footy, we are hardly unbeatable and TBH I am worried about this week. We don't play well in Tassie, aren't great against North and we have a habit of believing our own press when we become lauded ( usually just for the one game but it happens). North odds are like 7 bucks at the moment, so they are good value.
I can see us being beaten by a few teams, obviously not Port because we aren't a bottom 6 side that they can flat track bully but a few others I'd say can beat us, just not Port.

This is the best Adelaide side I've ever seen since I've been watching them (1996) but as mentioned previously we've looked promising before but failed to deliver on the big stage. It's a long season.
I think if we can lock up top 2 it will go a long way towards us making a grand final.

We aren't great against North? I'd argue they are our bunnies.

Staring into the abyss
On form best side in the Land. But as we know when teams start to get all hands on deck later in the season.
Western bulldogs still team to beat a stack of injuries at present.
GWS same boat when they get running.
Probably the teams that stick out to me at present
Sydney's form has been baffling so far this season but if they get all players back on hit some form could knock off adelaide in a home and away match for sure the top 8 is so close so they are only a 1% chance to make it and break history but gee what a dangerous opponent in finals

And that's done so many wonders for Richmond in comparison to teams like Geelong, Sydney, West Coast and to a lesser extent Hawthorn with Tassie?
You play more than half your games at your home ground and still lost 2 final to teams which predominantly play at Etihad.
