Moving onto the Adelaide game, how do we all think we will go this weekend?

We haven't won against the Crows in Adelaide for 12 years  :P.

The bookies (TAB) have Adelaide favourites:
Richmond   $3.00
Adelaide     $1.36

The AFL site is tipping the Crows by less than a kick...


SUMMARY

In yet another strange quirk of the draw, the Tigers and Crows are doing battle for the first time this season in the second-last round.

Both clubs have had indifferent campaigns, although when you take into account Adelaide's coaching change, the Crows' season has certainly been more dramatic.

The Crows are now under the guidance of caretaker coach Mark Bickley, who has inspired the players to lift their intensity since he took over for the round 19 game against Port Adelaide.

Since then, Bickley's team has won three of its four matches, meaning the two-time premiership captain is a big chance to win the role on a full-time basis.

The Crows beat Gold Coast by 10 goals at Metricon Stadium last weekend. Midfielder Scott Thompson collected 51 possessions to be the star of the show.

Richmond has also picked up its form in recent times. The Tigers have won their past two matches, against the Sydney Swans and Melbourne, and have now tallied six more points than they did last season (they won six games last year and have posted seven and a half victories this year).
 
QUESTION MARKS
Will the Crows offer Mark Bickley the coaching job if they win this game? Another victory would mean four wins from five games since Bickley took over. It would be tough to ignore those numbers.

How can Richmond shut down Crows gun Scott Thompson? Gold Coast let Thompson run free and he helped himself to 51 touches, but expect the Tigers to get someone like Shane Tuck to stick by his side.
 
PREDICTION
Adelaide by two points

Realistically if we can be within eight goals of the Crows we will have done well. They have been one club who always seem to have taken us to the sword in recent years.

Rance will take one of Tippett or Walker and shut them out. I hope Post gets the job on Walker to see how he goes. Cambo has done a good job as opposition analyst last 2 weeks with Rance on Goodes and Houli on Davey. Post on Walker this week would be a good opportunity to see where he's at because if Walker gets his confidence up he's a gun. If Post keeps him quiet early he could go completely missing and Post's confidence should increase.

I think we might see it the other way round, Post wont stand a chance keeping up with Walker, he would me a much better match up on Tippett. Thursty or Rance on Walker for Mine :thumbsup

I actually wrote that first then changed it.  ;D  Post has to be able to play on the tall ruckman types i think. But having said that Tippett is going to play from the goal square which would be a huge worry.

My game plan is obvious: Crows AFL coach
Steve Larkin
Sat Aug 27 2011


Adelaide's caretaker coach Mark Bickley reckons you don't have to be Einsten to work out his tactics.

So the Adelaide mentor is unfazed at his game plan being publicly picked apart by Richmond coach Damien Hardwick ahead of their AAMI Stadium clash on Sunday.

Hardwick noted Bickley's risk-taking style based on quick ball movement and play on at any cost, saying slowing down the Crows was a focal point of the Tigers' pre-game planning.

"You don't have to be Einstein to look at our side in the last four weeks and what we have done," Bickley said.

"And he (Hardwick) has obviously identified that we're playing with speed and trying to move the ball quickly.

"It's one thing to say that and another thing to be able to stop that.

"It's similar when we look at Richmond - they like to move the ball quickly and get it in to Jack Riewoldt and that will be part of our plans, to try to stop that.

"Whether we do it successfully or not, that will be the question."

Bickley, who has logged three wins in four games as Adelaide's interim coach, said Richmond's plans to stop Adelaide could unravel.

"The way they might have to go to slow us down might mean they have to move a little bit away from their game plan," he said.

"At the moment, generally, you might say if we're moving it quickly out of our defence, you might have to play six forwards and man up on our defenders.

"If they do that, one of the things they have been doing really well is they push their forwards up the ground - so they need to make a choice whether they stick with what they do or whether they adjust to try and counter what we do."

Richmond chase a third consecutive win on Sunday with Bickley noting similarities between the clubs: both certain to miss the finals but finishing the season with a flourish.

"We come up against a side which is playing some really spirited football at the moment," Bickley said.

"They have come off two wins in a row andare playing with some vitality, much like us, so I see it as a great opportunity for us to go head to head against them."

Our midfielders must run back harder to help the defense. When the Crows win the ball back in their defensive half, their mids are easily running past our mids. I reckon you could just about name our entire midfield as not running back hard enough.

1.6 with the breeze is a game losing quarter of football. Jack up on the wing, almost, where the ball ain't, Jake as a marking target, Vickery somewhere, but not a target.  It's the same mystifying game plan as the third quarter with the wind in Cairns.

It's clear we are not tagging any of the Crow's midfield, which is the Collingwood plan. But the Skunks mids run hard both ways, maybe even harder defensively than in attack.

Van Berlo and Thompson showing us how it is done.

Yep disposals has been crap. Too many long aimless bombs rather than having players further up the ground doubling back and continually hitting up. The midfield hasn't been working hard enough both ways.

Nahas and Rance probably our best so far.

For sure we picked up the pressure around the stoppages in the second quarter, but it seemed like we had at least one run-with player on van Berlo and another on Thompson in the second half.

I also thought I saw Tucky playing more in defense after half time, compared to playing mid. 

They didn't get that free run through the middle as often in the second half

In a weak draft where it thins out from pick 10 i cant see the benefit in beating Adelaide i really cant.

we also won games late the last few seasons and what good did it do us.

Brackets is right you blokes are in denial. we beat Adelaide and its round 23.

where was that fighting spirit when it counted.

Too many hard questions Daniel. Hopefully it'll be different this time. Late wins in the past have killed us. Anyway whatever happens happens. Hopefully we still get at least 1 good kid in the draft but now even that looks difficult.

We need to be bold and trade out a 2nd tier player for another high pick. I'd rather have pick 10 but winning form may up the trade value of some of our 2nd tier. Jacko, Edwards, King, and Nahas all played well today after half-time. Holding onto them all will lead to a repeat of history.

The idfference is the nature of the wins.

after going through a form slump, which when your base is not that high sends you to the depths...we have turned it around and won a game in which we were challenged.

So lets put it into some sort of perspective.

How long since Richmond have had a team able to win such a game?

Under wallace we were a team that if we got on top could hurt, but when the going got tough we crawled up in the foetal position.

Once the opponents got a few quick goals the floodgates would open, regardless of who they were.

This win showed spirit and we didnt crack like a Leigh Mathews' egg when we were 4 goals down.

Also interesting to note the players reaction when the siren went.

Edwards work in traffic today was simply brilliant at times. Didnt get a lot of wide ball which is probably why he had a good game.  :P

Instead you'll look for positives in beating a crap team and completely forget how poo they played in the first half and how they stoppped in the last when they thought they had it won.
Ominous signs.....again

In a compromised draft its hard to say about late season wins. I see the points for and against this year. I can see Adel beating Port in Bickley's first game.
I still think the Dogs will beat Freo and the Princesses can still beat Port next week so potentially we can still finish 13th assuming we lose to North.
Personally I loved the way we won today. 20 scoring shots to 4 at a venue and against a side that has put us to the sword over the years....
Whatever will be will be. Yep where was this effort in July and against Port and Gold Coast so I can understand how some people feel hollow about these late season wins but I think we have shown some good signs and maturity and maybe just maybe there may be more upside than we bargained for. Time will tell. Although I believe come round 1 next year against the Cheats we may not ein but we certainly won't be where we were at the corresponding time three years prior list wise.

Why did we drop away against a crap team like Adelaide ??

We still have to find a ruckman among many others things.

Punt road needs to get militant in training and conditioning for next year,not to mention dropping guys from the list.

No-one is deluded Ox, except those who think there is an instant fix for a developing team.  They are a developing team and they are developing just nicely thanks.  They are not crumbling under pressure when the game is close like it was today.  Adelaide were on a streak.  Some of the favorite whipping boys had corkers like Edwards, he was terrific today.

Post by: mightytiges on August 28, 2011, 08:22:21 PM
Forgetting about individuals for the minute I was most happy today about of forward pressure in the second half. We rarely allowed Adelaide to escape out the back when coming out of defence unlike in the first half where we allowed the Crows too much space to run and link up and get heaps of possession. We locked the ball in there after half-time and that allowed us to bombard the goals. 36 scoring shots is a good day's return on the scoreboard. Kicking 10.10 to 4.0 from the 10 min mark of the 3rd quarter is a smashing. It's now the job over the preseason to boost our fitness to be able to apply that pressure for 4 quarters rather than two and to learn to be mentality prepared so that it doesn't take a quarter or more to get defensively organised as a team.

You can hang poo on "our team" as much as you like, haven't  but deserve and could probably show as much as a Saints Swans Bombres in the first week at least.

Shame Carltank will play Eagles second week if they beat the bombres.

Easy to hang poo on your team when others can be picked apart just as much, we are getting there.

Contact between Richmond's Dustin Martin and the Adelaide's Bernie Vince from the first quarter of Sunday's match was assessed. Martin tackles Vince and takes him to the ground. While the action of the tackle was a sling motion, a medical report from the Adelaide Crows Football Club stated there was no forceful high contact for player Vince. After reviewing all available footage, it was determined that no further action was taken.

Gieschen's "What's you decision?" video is up on the AFL website..

Rance pinged for deliberate rushed behind:
Giesch said Rance's intent despite fumbling was to get the ball across the line and so it's deliberate. They are going to be tough on this now. Giesch claimed that Rance wouldn't have fumbled the ball if he was a forward running into goal.

Cotch 'non-mark' which Adelaide got a goal out of
That was a mistake and Cotch should have received a free. Cotch took the mark and then had his arm chopped. Giesch said initially Van Berlo's fist wasn't far from the ball ???.

That's not a Richmond player so that's okay ::). Ziebell's was the worst. He punched the ball from 15m out for a point facing the play and with no one around him yet that wasn't called deliberate (Giesch admitted at least it should have been a free).

AFL UMPIRES manager Jeff Gieschen has warned that umpires will be tough on deliberate rushed behinds during the finals.

Gieschen endorsed a deliberate rushed decision against Richmond's Alex Rance in Adelaide on Sunday, and declared that North Melbourne's Jack Ziebell should have been penalised for punching the ball through for a behind against St Kilda on Saturday night.

In doing so, the umpires' boss signalled that whistle blowers would be vigilant on the rule in coming weeks.

"Richmond were under a little bit of pressure and they hit the ball back to Rance, but he wasn't under immediate pressure at the time," Gieschen said on What's Your Decision? on afl.com.au Tuesday night.

"When the ball was hit back to him he was pretty much in the clear, and he fumbled and bumbled the ball and took it across the line.

"We've been asked to be really strong with players who force the ball across the scoring line, particularly when they're not under a great deal of pressure.

"We want all players to be aware that they have a responsibility to try and keep the ball in play, particularly when they're not under pressure, and in this case Rance wasn't under immediate pressure."
