We'll get screwed by the umpires this Thursday and suffer in silence.

Pretty much every major AFL media channel is banging on about the Crows being stitched up by umpiring errors. Tex is out there bleating to the fans, stoking the fires, the Crow fans will be extra vocal.

All this feeds back into the umpiring mindset, they read the papers, they see the broadcasts, they are only human. When we have those 50/50s, the anticipation and hesitation in decision making, these things won't go our way and this is the price of our silence.

Our fans are more likely to sit in the stands in dread, swallowing air, schtum, drowning in negativity, blaming players and coach for every ill of the world. But we are only and can only ever be about 1/3rd of the total influence over the outcome of a game, never more, and when we sit silent we are less.

Media are saying Crows will make light work of us.
They probably will because we rarely play well in Adelaide

If Weitering was playing I'd give us a remote chance, but now I'd say no chance.
Too many holes to cover a more complete team which will be in ruthless kill mode in front of a rabid crowd and home umpiring. I hope it doesn't get really ugly but...

Seems if the Campo boys were ever gonna play it was this week being in Adelaide and their form in the 2s being decent (as far as I could tell be reading the reviews).

Wouldn't surprise me, been ordinary and Cripps, Cerra, Hewett doesn't work IMO.

Surely he's not dropped. Statistically he was one of our top 3 last week.

Named as an emergency so he isn't injured. I think someone will go out he might go in. Cripps could be injured. Who knows.
