Once again, an Adelaide follower who doesn't rate Sydney. Yes the Cows are 3-0 in the last two years, but when were those games again. Oh thats right. 3 meaningless minor round games. Just remember, Sydney is the only team left in the comp with a forward line. As for flooding, every team does it. But only one team can still kick 20 goals in a a game. Adelaide have been exposed. How many games have they won against sides that were in the top 8 this year? 3-4?
Gees mate you must have a different English version to the one I can comprehend, how can "nor do I understimate Sydney" and "have to be at teh top of our game to knock them off" be construed as "not rating them". I'll say it for you slowly,

Yes I know we play very similar styles of footy and yes we do "get numbers behind the ball" (aka flood) - where have I suggested otherwise, a bit defensive about your teams tactics? You shouldn't be, they have been successful tactics.
If I wanted to be arsehole I could suggest you're as guilty as the crime you accuses me of, i.e. you don't rate my team (Adelaide)??
BTW if you going to make outlandish statements about "being exposed" only "winning 3-4 games against top eight teams", a word of advice, check you facts, Adelaide actually won eight games againsts top eight sides (half our wins) with four losses, maybe you were talking 3-4 nett wins?
What we didn't do well, was beat sides above us (only twice at the start of the year) mind you bit hard to do when for half the year we were sitting on top......
Last I'll say on the matter because ATM we have to worry about West coast not Sydney, no point getting ahead of ourselves and thinking too much about the outcome of todays game instead concentraing on the process
Here's an outlandish statement for ya. The Cows are shite, and I wish the Swans were playing them this week instead of the Eagles. Facts are Adelaide only defeated 3-4 sides this year, who, when they played them were in the top eight. Al la, when they defeated Sydney, the Swans were in about 10th position. Do you understand where I'm going now? Go through the results this year. Compare where Adelaide's opponents were at the time the Cows played them. Your a smart man. You have been a water boy in various states and clubs over the years.
You 1980 Tassie Medalist, are one of the reasons why so many people who live in Adelaide, cannot stand the Cows. You have your head so far up your arse, no other team exists. I noticed that you were very selective in quoting yourself in replying to my post. Like all Cow supporters, you had yourselves over the line against West Coast.
You, my friend, are another one of these types, who because they have been running water out to thirsty players for season after season, thinks they know something about the game.
p.s. In a way I'm abit peeved that Adelaide didn't make the Grannie. All week I've had Cow people asking me if I wanna have a bet on next Saturdays game. Looks like I have missed out on a small fortune. And you are right, I don't rate Adelaide one bit. Once again, the cream will play off on the last Saturday in September. May the best team win.
, he's all yours, he's too touchy for my liking.....
