I know that we’ve never won at this ground, and Adelaide did a number on us last time we met, but we’re not defined by the past.  The Crows have a strong team but, if we’re on, we should win comfortably.

We have however won plenty of games in Adelaide in the past.

Yes, the Croweaters have a strong team, at home and everything to play for in terms of them launching the Adelaide round. Plenty of motivation.

Just the sought of challenge we need, knowing we are really up against it. We won't be going into this game like last year's game against the Croweaters... more likely how we went into last year's games against top sides. Our consistent best will win this game, an inconsistent effort and we're in trouble.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Im expecting a loss tonight.

The competition is part of the entertainment industry, and a win to Adelaide makes it much tighter competition.

Congratulations Fish, have a night out!

We have a bevy of players who should notch up their 100th games this season; Cerra, McGovern, Charlie and Harry.  Walsh and Kennedy will have to wait until the start of next season.

Apart from the milestone, that suggests that we have a significant part of our list at the peak of their powers.

But we have never won at Adelaide Oval, that's a wrong Voss needs to right tonight. Adelaide are up and about and really fancy themselves against us. This week and next will prove if we are fairdinkum or not. I heard an interesting comment on the radio this morning, it was stated we have been winning via talent, Adelaide and St Kilda have been winning with a system.
Like Thry, I am hoping for a win and expecting a loss purely because of how inconsistently we have been playing. Whilst it has been a positive (ie winning despite playing inconsistently), if we keep that up for any longer we will get knocked more than we win.
Doc aside we have our BEST side possible on the ground.
Piss or Get off the Pot.

And hence why this week and next week, we either silence the doubters (me included) or we hand them the pitchforks, straw and matches.

According to Kruddler's "Voss's objectives", we haven't won an away game against Adelaide since 2010.  It's time we changed that!

Apart from Doc, probably our best team. About time our luck changed and we get down to under 10 on the Injured List.
IF we are going to be up there this year, we need to win these games.
Just hope Vossy has them fired up. scoreboard pressure will stop the saliva spewing out.
