Collingwood v Adelaide - Semi Final

[Gingernuts]

Josh Fraser out? Helpful for the Crows, even though they beat us without him last time.

We underestimated Cameron Wood last time and he hurt us so maybe this time we can nullify him a bit more...

Missed the news and footy show etc, is Bock 100% fit to play ?
And if so what was the reason for not playing him ?

He got lucky last time, snuck under our guard. I dont rate him at all. Fraser is a huge loss, and good player. Him missing gives us a huge advantage in the ruck department, IMO.

Agreed. Looking at the lineups against each other on paper, ruck was the major problem area. With Fraser out I would say we now break even there at least.

In general Adelaide looks the better team on paper with Collingwood's outs this week, but this game will be a lot more about tactics than individual skill so that really counts for nought. What really concerns me is not Didak, Maxwell, Swan & co., but Mr Malthouse and his magnet board.

That said I think Adelaide are a much better side than when these two teams last met in round 19, and I think they will win by about 23 points.

A half fit Fraser would have been ideal for the Crowies. Instead they'll have a hungry Cameron Wood complete with a 'what do I have to friggin do?' attitude. Bad luck also that Rocca isn't out there to destabilise the Collingwood forward line. The only big out the Pies have is Pendlebury.

I reckon Dick might prove to be a handful for you blokes* especially with Davis and Didak rebounding from crap efforts against the Sainters. They've got Medhurst as well so plenty of small forwards for the Blackbirds to keep under control. St Kilda aren't playing so it should be a great game.

Don't talk it up too soon, we still have to go out and win the game.

[Farmy]

Crows mids need to pull their bloody fingers out, pathetic.

[Farmy]

Disgusting, putrid, pathetic. Words that describe Tyson Edwards game.

Disposal to the forwards from McLeod and Edwards has been aweful, I agree

[prowling panther]

Rutten needs his arse kicked, big time

[Farmy]

Why Ben, why did you do that? You didn't need to hold on, you knew that the umps would be watching, why did you do that?

[Turbo]

That game just proved that Aussie Rules is the greatest sport in the world

[Farmy]

Oh but I saw alot that I like we had 1204 possessions and 500 inside 50's and blah blah blah.

[Dogwatcher]

Well done Crows. Great game.
Sorry, someone had to win.

One of the veteran trio has to go after tonight....the Crows can't afford for all three to go at the end of next year, too big a hole.

Now....after all of the great contests between these two sides in the past decade or so (in particular) will any Crows supporters actually give us some respect?
