So it's Adelaide in Adelaide if the reports are correct about the venue!

Bit of back story.

Round 1. Adelaide 1.11.17 to dogs 2.6.18 (reigning premiers)

This was Adelaides only loss for the year....and with kicking like that, it shouldn't have been close to a loss.

From R2 onwards,
- Not a single side got with 5 goals of Adelaide.
- Not a single side managed to kick 7 goals against them.
- Not a single side had managed to lead against them at any of the breaks during the game (1/4 time, half time, 3/4 time)
- Not a single side has managed to have a lead against them of 2 or more goals all year.

....that is....except us.
In R2 we lost by a mere 13 points.
We kicked ended up kicking 7 goals against them
We were leading against them at half time
We were leading by 17 points late in the 3rd quarter

.....and we did that in a game which we didn't have Tayla Harris in.


Yes, Crows are favourites...and by a long way.....but if anyone is a chance....

Do the girls get to go over early and have a run at Adelaide oval?

If not then the choice of venue is a disgrace, some of them might never have even walked on the turf before. Perhaps it should have been a neutral venue!

It's probably the best venue in the country.

With the fanatical Crows supporters, they could get 30,000 to the game.  Besides, it’s a bit embarrassment having games at Princes Park in the state it’s in.

Final side, unchanged from last week.

Hicks and Plane the emergencies.

I have been to a couple of Port Adelaide Carlton games at Football Park and the crowd was about 30,000 and I would say a third were Carlton.

Not sure how many will turn up for the girls though.

Our attention should now turn to this game.

Hopefully our girls watched the match last night and realised that despite coming up against a fancied opponent, when playing your best footy, you can get into a winning position. Also, when you have lapses in concentration and/or effort, the game can quickly slip away from you.

With that being said, our girls are riding high on a wave currently. Going from strength to strength and building confidence in themselves and eachother with every outing.

Also looking pretty healthy with an unchanged lineup yet again.
Harrington appears to be ok and over whatever shoulder injury caused her grief last week.
Full bill of health elsewhere.

Adelaide are also relatively healthy, but Erin Phillips seems a little bit hampered by a quad injury at the moment...although unless that leg is amputated, it won't stop her.

Hopefully the weather holds out and we see a good contest and our girls do us proud.
