Wouldn't you love to see a team outside Victoria win this year. For such an "open" comp the media have paid no respect to interstate sides........ All sides in the top 6 have shown inconsistancies all year. This might be the year the media look stupid.

You obviously don't live in Adelaide, if you did you'd realise your statement was completely backwards.

I'm not denying that I have Crows goggles and you're right i live in Perth. Funnily enough they rate Fremantle a flag chance alongside the weagles. It's the same here.
The crows whilst on field are not everyone's favorite are doing a shit load of things right
*winning games they probably didn't deserve to.
*making the most of their luck for a very young side
*injury toll is unheard of in any season from any team!

Like it or not many things are going right for Adelaide and they should buy a loftier ticket. The next few weeks will tell and they may fall flat on their Arse..... If they best Sydney first up they are a bloody good chance to play in a GF.....

Been reading a few posts online from Swannies who are upeat about playing the Crows. After winning just two out of the last 14 you've got to be asking yourself why. Looking forward to bouncing the Swannies out in front of their clueless crowd at Bank Stadium in the Semis.

Agreed, Adelaide are the team that the Swans would least want to come up against this week

Fremantle might have something to say about that, reckon it will be a closer game than what everyone is predicted. If the Cats win it will only be a couple of goals IMO

If you gave the Swans the option of playing any of the other top 4 sides away from home they would choose Adelaide everytime

Adelaide in Adelaide, or Hawthorn in Melbourne?

I reckon they'd do better against Hawthorn. They seem to match up well with them. What Sydney still do well under Longmire is that deny you space and when that happens to Hawthorn they overposses the football. Sydney denied them space in the first quarter effectivley against them last round and West Coast did the same to them in the last on Friday night although the Hawks were a man down and starting to struggle for leg speed. The difference between Longmire's and Roos' Swans to this stage is their ability to do it for longer periods of the game.

The ball moves faster than Lewis Jetta can run so if Hawthorn have space to kick their superior foot skills will cut you up every time. Shut down that space and all of a sudden blokes like Sewell, Hodge and Mitchell start getting caught. But it's not as easy as that because Hawthorn work bloody hard to spread and that's why the buggers are so hard to beat.

However, the Swans do it well so if I was a Swannie the Hawks would be my preference.

Avoid the tough side of the finals draw now. Hopefully Geelong v Hawthorn prelim.
