This is a game that will tell us a lot about the attitude of these players. We’ve seen 2 teams this round show great heart and character against the odds. North, coming of a 100+ point beating, pushed the Swans all the way and with some better luck/composure could’ve taken home the 4 points. And West Coast, with a patched up team, many players having interrupted pre-seasons and COVID issues, win on the road. We have some key players missing but there are no excuses today. We have zero right to think we can just break through the banner and get the victory, especially when we are winless and last on the ladder. But if that’s our mindset, then we are setting ourselves up to get rolled. The Crows are young, enthusiastic and plucky. They will be bold with the ball, have high energy without it, and crack in at the contest. We are last or 2nd last in every pressure metric thus far in 2022. The warning bells are there. Anything less than great effort and we will get done today. Just win FFS!

Lose and it’s season over, win and we kickstart our year
There is a lot of fringe/depth players in our team at the moment, they will never get a better chance to cement their spot than right now
Please just give us all a win. The club needs it, the fans need it and Blitz REALLY needs it

Yes we are definitely expecting a win, I wouldn’t be underestimating Adelaide though…last year was last year.

One might be heavily focused on debits, the other credits and balance your ledger.
I’ll let you decide which one!

Our club’s problem for the better part of 16+ years is the attitude that winning will happen without desperation. I honestly dont think I’ve seen it in our club in recent years except for the 2013 season. Hopefully today there are signs of a turn around…

I miss the big goof. Why did he have to be such a c***.

We still have enough quality on the park to win this game at home. Ridley, Shiel, 2MP, Parish, Perkins, Caldwell - all quality players.
I expect 2MP will kick 4+, it will be down to the rest of our small/medium forwards Snelling, Wanga, Perkins and Waterman as to weather or (or not) we can kick enough goals…

Nah desperation gets you Norfs performance yesterday.
Class gets you the win.

My only contribution to this thread is to say that during past home games at the Docklands stadium, I did notice the the words “Go Adelaide” tend to merge into one word, being “Gadelaide”
Do what you wish with this important information.

That “quality” needs to stand up. Without Merrett, Stringer and Heppell being VFL grade we desperately need some leadership.
I’m hoping for an Andy McGrath special today. I love it when he is on.
