After last week I dont feel so confident - the crows just looked so flat !!!

Plus the crows have a history of not doin so well after a team coming off a bad loss !!!

You did notice the opponent when you typed it didn't you?

I'm an Essendon supporter, but we couldn't beat ourselves off in a peep show at the minute.

The Bombers surprised the Crows here last year in round 1, i don't think it will happen this time though.

Crows by 61 points.

Crows will win comfortably, by about 53 points to be exact!

About?

I had a bad feeling about the WCE game beforehand

But not this week - Essendon are almost down to player # 40 and we are close to full strength

Home games like this are must win games

Essendon to make it 7 losses in a row

We'd look down and find our hand on someone else's old fella...

So what changes do people expect to be made?

Any? I'm thinking we'll go in unchanged.

McGregor will be added to the squad, as well as maybe Otten and Campbell, but the squad will be reduced to 22 with no changed from last week.

I didn't like the look of the named team, with Burton named in the forward pocket. I think he needs more room to move, and shake off the close attention. However, I don't know whether he actually lined up there, or stayed there, as we rarely get the Crows on free-to-air in Victoria..

The Teams:

ADELAIDE
B: Graham Johncock, Ben Rutten, Nathan Bassett
HB: Scott Stevens, Nathan Bock, Michael Doughty
C: David Mackay, Scott Thompson, Andrew McLeod

No change

ESSENDON

EMG: Tayte Pears, Tom Bellchambers, Adam Ramanauskas

The last time crows played essendon on a friday night at AAMI the kicked their higest score

Crows by over 100 tonight

Crows by 60 points

Anything could happen tonight, but I would expect the crows to get home

Go Bombers


we havent got a chance in hell

Still up 5 minutes into the 3rd 1/4, I think the Bombers need a few more of these

Crows use their "get out of jail free" card to an unlikely opponent!

There you go every one - but happy we got over the line just !!!

What a shit game to watch

Essendon didn't almost win, the Crows almost lost. Crows seemed to do almost everything they could to lose but Essendon couldn't take the hint.
