Personally think this will be a very ugly game for us.

Anything less than 60pts will be a win to me.

I had the craziest thought last night, why not play Crippa down back this week. He is 195cm, agressive, give him a shot at one of their big fellas, Tex maybe?

Crippa couldn't pick up a cold, alas.
Live Long and Prosper!

Adelaide copping it in the SA media on the rebound too makes it harder, a competitive 4 quarter effort might be the best we can hope for. That three prong tall forward line looks menacing for the Crows without Weitering, if our midfield are not firing its going to be difficult for Derksen, Haynes and L.Young.
If we play 4 qtrs like we play one qtr we'd win easily. Sadly though.................

. Yes, good idea GTC.  Have thought sometimes Crippa could be our (sometimes) centre half back, as you say playing on a big forward.    Last year when the Crows carved us up over here at Adelaide oval, our backs were all at sea on Tex.  Even Weitering struggled.  He isn't the fastest mover but out manoeuvred them, particularly Young.
Would love Vossy to try a few  such moves, instead of the same old.
