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.

I agree with Cripps down back at times, especially if they are going to use Young in the ruck.  He has never been effective resting up forward and it would give the opposition something to think about.

Hayward will miss, the appeal failed.

what a joke.  They gave a down field free kick, which was effectively a 50 metre penalty and normally that's enough to hold out.  Wardlaw wasn't even adversely impacted.  I swear we get punished more than other teams.

Ok.......
Derksen    Young     Boyd
Florent      Haynes   Newman
 Carroll     Hewett    Cerra
Ainsworth McKay   E Holland
Evans        Cripps    F. Young
Pittonet  Walsh     Smith

Lord  Cowan  Byrne  Kemp   McGovern

Cripps is wearing a new knee strapping and probably playing injured, work him out of the square..... or rest him.
McGovern is the swingman, play him either end as required.
Lord rotates on the ball.
Byrne rotates with the small forwards.
Cowan rotates with the backs
Kemp rotates with the tall forwards.

Out: Hayward, Weitering, O Holland
In:  Lord, F Young, Haynes.

Something different!

I don't think Lord will be over his illness by game time.

That is optimistic mate. If I was being honest I'd say we will get obliterated!  ;D

I do have to say I've always admired your unwavering confidence GTC. Keep the faith brother 🤞

Dunno about unwavering. My blind faith has been questioned on many occasions. At the end of the day, I just love my  club mate and I want the boys to win not for me, for them as they put in all the hard work. As the old saying goes, "they are bastards, but they are our bastards".

On first glance that is one of the weakest back lines I can remember us fielding, with a misfiring midfield and flakey forward line this game could take a lot of 🍷to make it watchable. I am however eternally optimistic and hope the boys can show some fight for the coach and club.
The Ox is slow but I'm running out of patience.
