Zed? We miss you, please come back, Blitz didn't really mean it. ADELAIDE CROWS v ESSENDON @ AO, 7:20pm ACST Friday, July 19, 2019 - the team

Our unpredictability could be an advantage. Equally, we could get done. HARD.

Been a pretty Essington 3 weeks for him. Poxy game, good game, out with a bug.

They might let him go free-ranging and then have an extra on the defensive side to intercept, Gleeson would make the most sense.

Some should be happy - Hartleyā€™s got a game at last. It does look a bit threadbare but letā€™s hope for the best. Obviously Raz has been carrying something for a while and a rest will (I hope) do him good. Iā€™m a bit surprised about Lav, though. Go Bombers!

Wonā€™t happen but hopefully Hartley plays ruck to maintain our structures forward and back.

It will be a big concern having two primarily defensive players in Hartley and Ambrose down back especially considering how much trouble we already have exiting our defensive half at times.

RAZ has been sore since he busted his hip against the Hawks

With Zac illā€¦ we didnā€™t have a choice

As I put in previous thread; whoā€™s up for closest to the pin for how many ruck infringements smack gives away.

Iā€™ll start, 5

Drink twice if the ruck infringement wasnā€™t there and ump has made a ā– ā– ā– ā–  of themselves

Drink three times if Smack is actually the one infringed but the free is paid against him.

The umps have been looking after us recently.

Friday night footy and they will be trying to keep us in the game.

Letā€™s hope Smack is the death of Reilly.

Iā€™d rather they just umpire properly.

If they canā€™t do that, then yeah they might as well keep us in the game

Fkg yikes

Can only assume our ruckman is Snelling sitting on Hartleyā€™s shoulders, wearing a big overcoat and a fake moustache

Surely weā€™re past the bad old days of wanting to lynch poor Gleeson.

Can only hope weā€™ve been studying Obriens patterns this week, with the hope of sharking a few. Otherwise we are fuct.
