Game Day Adelaide v St Kilda - Lunchtime Sunday

[Carmo]

Please just win. 1 point will do it for me. 7 point lead early in the game and held for the rest of it would be great for my nerves. Sick of driving down to watch losses. Please just win.

With both teams ready to face off in Round 1 both sets of supporters are looking forward to this for different reasons

Both teams feel this is a season where they make a move up the ladder

Adelaide supporters are most excited with the addition of pick 4 Sid Draper and the off season moves of Peatling, ANB and Cumming

Home game big crowd and fresh faces should see a really pumped up home crowd

The cheer for Draper will be extra loud

Adelaide due to home ground

lol

I was up at 4am today, thinking I might start a Match Thread. Love that it took you only 34mins into Sunday to start one.

I nearly deleted it as I saw PJs and thought it said gameday and not preview

Im just happy and excited to be able to see both ends of the ground in the Riverbank

Last year was a complete wash due to eye issues - now fixed - plus the off season excitement has me the most pumped in years

Against an undermanned side we beat comfortably in the last two times at AO and adding quality to our depth in the team.

We should be smashing them.

Carlton losing to Richmond, should make sure the coaches and players are up and about early for this game.

No mate - we need to demand higher expectations

• four debutants
• 100!game milestone
• round 1
• home game
• bottom 6 side opponent with injuries
• we have had the perfect pre-season

Demand more

So who do we think the sub will be? I’m leaning toward Curtin

Oh an egg and bacon roll, not sure why GreyCrow didn’t just say so!

I suppose you don't know what a chip butty is either?

Well I can work it out now.

Either he or Draper

There is a huge gap between the expectations of people on this Board and non-Crows observers

Nearly 90% on this Board expect us to win by more than 3 goals (10 goals plus is the benchmark of quite a few posters) and 55% expect a 6+ goal win.The line for this game (people who put their money where their mouth is) is 17.5 points.


Most posters expect us to make the Eight and a widely held view is we must win at least one final for Nicks to survive. Yesterday Sportsbet had 9 teams more likely to make the Eight (now down to 8 teams thanks to the Pear).

This is a game we simply must win. I wouldn’t be happy but a one point win will be enough. Carlton have already provided a masterclass in how to lose to a much weaker opposition. The Pear have demonstrated what happens if your head is in the wrong place.

Ross Lyon will do everything in his power to make this an ugly game. We just have to grind out a win and show enough to reassure ourselves that we are capable of moving up the ladder. A Collingwood style display of down hill skiing may not be helpful in the long run.

Crows by 7 points.

Yeah there's certainly a massive expectation gap between the market and this board for 2025.

Round 1 does have a way of sorting these things out though, if the Crows win by 10+ goals today I expect we will be favoured for finals pretty quickly. But certainly not a foregone conclusion.

I think that line is a good bet though.

 

[NSolis]

Either he or Draper

Hinge is also an option, since he was a bit sore at training. Something we've done before.

My guess is Draper.

 

[Carn The Texan]

Must turn up from first bounce. Must win. No knee injuries. That's basically my wishlist.

 

[Mattrox]

Wind will be a bigger issue than showers.

Showers or lack thereof might have been the crowd comfort issue at the G last night...

Brother is it windy at AO?

IMO, A kid on debut playing at home should not be made sub.
