Round 7 Adelaide at AAMI
- Thread starter Go The Tiges!
- Start date
Don't think people should be getting their hopes up for a win this week. Crows still have a lot of good players in their team and big bodies, they're just out of form. I have no doubt we will play them into form on their home ground. A win is more likely against North, West Coast (in Melbourne) and Essendon IMO.
If the Crows lose this weekend their fans will firstly burn down AAMI stadium and then torch their training venue at West Lakes.
Some sleepless nights ahead for Neil Craig.

Cant see us kicking a big enough score to win, aside from the smaller bodies were simply too unfit. If we were in a winning position, would we know how to win? I doubt it. ???

Maybe the question should be asked.
Would you rather we win or lose this one ?
Myself, i would prefer the 4 points. Being a young side it may provide a bit of a spark to enthusiasm levels of those that may be lacking.
By all means, i don't believe we are top 8 material atm. But i would like to see how the players play and react when we are in a winning position. This is also part of the learning process.
Could Martin/Nason/Astbury/Webberley e.t.c. take there game to another level riding on the back of adrenalin ?
Only time may tell.

I'm sure it isn't too high.
We might keep up for 3 quarters but after that ....
Turn back the pages of time to 2006. We got smashed by Sydney at Telstra Dome by 118 points (on my wedding day!), and then the next week we beat Adelaide by 3 points in a thriller.
Here's hoping history repeats itself.

Must say that the pressure will be on the Crows this weekend. They are expected to win - we are expected to lose.
I would imagine that in the minute chance that we won, the Crows would be booed off the park for the first time in their history.
How good would that be?

Well they'll be cheering from their loungerooms, they'd love to see the Crows on the bottom.
We've been gone at quarter time in four of our six games. If - and it's a big if - we can stay with them to half time, we've got some hope as they've been fading towards the finish of their matches. Only kicked eight last quarter goals for the year.
