One thing Iām pretty certain of is we need belly to perform. Jacobs is one of the best, we need to break even. If the likes of Gibbs, crouch and Sloane are given a armchair ride by sauce we will be in serious trouble. Need a big game out of tommy to break even at least

Iām hoping for start like the one we had against Port.
Reckon Stinger will kick the first and send the crowd into a frenzy

Big question: what will give up first- our defensive pressure or the newly laid turf?

Defenaice pressure? Have you seen the defence we named?
Have you seen the forwards they have named? The outs largely cancel ech other out.

Starts from the midfield. Our guys run two ways and itāll make Adelaideās scoring difficult minus walker and lynch
Il give you Ambrose for Hartley. Big loss imo
But do you really think we lose that much from mcneice and Gleeson, to dea and brown? Thatās a break even imo
Thereās no excuse tomorrow night. I think we should win with the teams named.

Defence - as in the around the ground defence.
As for the backline - sure itās down on our best back 6, but McGrath will / can go back. McKenna will of course. And Hooker is a good one to call up. But as WOB says - itās what we do all around the ground that will determine how little or how much pressure our backline is under. Itās not best 22 for either side.
I calling the turf to pack it up by 3/4 time.
Mackay, Gibson, Sloane, crouch, Gibbs, Douglas Atkins Ellis-yolman
Zaharakis, Merrett, Heppell, Smith, parish, mcgrath Langford stringer
Who bats deeper in the midfield? I reckon we do.
Have you seen their named fwd line?
We actually match up very well IMO
B: Saad Hartley Hurley
F: Betts Jenkins Fogarty
HB: Dea Brown McKenna
HF: CEY McGovern Murphy
Hurley will get an 18yr old kid in his first game so should beat him whilst also helping out Brown / Hartley who themselves arenāt playing on stars of the comp.
McKenna has rookie lister Murphy who is really there for his defensive pressure not him being dangerous on goals & who is also debuting.
Cam Ellis Yolmen is an inside mid, not quick nor has great skills, Dea seemingly works as a physical match up & has a lot of experience.
Iām not worried about our back 6 compared to their fwd 6 at all.
Itās the Jacobs / Sloane / MCrouch /Gibbs foursome that is our main concern. If our midfield can win enough footy against those guys and pressure them enough we can knock the Crows off.

My worry is we lost Ambrose, McNiece and Myers at training last week - You should barely lose a player all year attraining.
Game day baby! Fire up
