[crashlander]

No details yet, but we have made it and so many others did not.
Now for the main event!

[I'll fill in the opponent when we know who it is.]

[LP]

So it's Adelaide in Adelaide if the reports are correct about the venue!

[kruddler]

Adelaide it is.

Venue should be in Adelaide.
Day should be Sunday.

TBC.

Bit of back story.

Round 1. Adelaide 1.11.17 to dogs 2.6.18 (reigning premiers)

This was Adelaides only loss for the year....and with kicking like that, it shouldn't have been close to a loss.

From R2 onwards,
- Not a single side got with 5 goals of Adelaide.
- Not a single side managed to kick 7 goals against them.
- Not a single side had managed to lead against them at any of the breaks during the game (1/4 time, half time, 3/4 time)
- Not a single side has managed to have a lead against them of 2 or more goals all year.

....that is....except us.
In R2 we lost by a mere 13 points.
We kicked ended up kicking 7 goals against them
We were leading against them at half time
We were leading by 17 points late in the 3rd quarter

.....and we did that in a game which we didn't have Tayla Harris in.


Yes, Crows are favourites...and by a long way.....but if anyone is a chance....

If you exclude pre-season comps and reserves, yes.

[LP]

Do the girls get to go over early and have a run at Adelaide oval?

If not then the choice of venue is a disgrace, some of them might never have even walked on the turf before. Perhaps it should have been a neutral venue!
