Richmond vs Adelaide - Round 12, 2013

[Owl]

well best we give em another one to go on with then

[one-eyed]

ADELAIDE midfielder Bernie Vince says fans should expect the Crows to take more risks against Richmond this weekend, claiming the club's conservative style is playing right into opposition hands.

"It's a massive game for us this weekend against Richmond, especially over there on the MCG.

"Richmond are coming off a really good win against West Coast over in Perth. They've had the bye as well, so they could come back pretty fresh.

"We've got our work cut out."

Why is it is always us who play teams coming off thumpings who are out to prove to the world that they can compete...

Our turn to thump someone!!!

[mightytiges]

40k would be a good turnout against an interstate side. It would also be our highest home crowd against the Crows. We need to get more than 39,044 (R12, 1996).

[bojangles17]

Im thinking 46k provided it fines up

8. Richmond (9)

Find themselves inside our top eight after a week off from playing any footy. We have a sneaky suspicion they will find themselves in more familiar territory after this week's game against Adelaide.

9. Adelaide (8 )

Coach Brenton Sanderson didn't mince his words after the galling loss against the Swans on Saturday, calling the effort insipid. He has to say that, because he can't go making excuses for the side. We tend to think that Crows were just outplayed by the best team in the comp and will bounce back and still challenge for a spot in the finals.

Tommy Rehn on SEN, said that the crows may have up to 4 or 5 changes.
He also said the crows are having a closed training session today and they have a good record against the tigers.

I think from the sounds of it they are going to come out and throw everything including the kitchen sink at us

[Phil Mrakov]

Even if we lose against Adelaide we still have 2 wins coming up and Carlton and WC have games against Hawthorn and a bye. So if we lose we'll be back in the 8 next week

A win this week would be making a statement

[smasha]

Expected the Melbourne media to be fully in Adelaide's corner this week as they are pooting themselves that Richmond will be in the 8 after this game and stay there.

I expect Robbo to draw the line in the sand for the Crows on 360 tonight.

Maclure especially. 

[Yeahright]

Mrs birthday and she already is making plans around the footy 

[Smokey]

Adelaide are flooding any media outlet who will listen with talk of different attitudes, different players, different gameplans etc.  They will either come out sizzling or pop like a pricked balloon and I reckon the first quarter on Saturday will be one of our most important for the year.

ADELAIDE is considering switching superstar midfielder Patrick Dangerfield into defence against Richmond on Saturday.

Adelaide are sure vocal in the media this week while we are keeping our heads down hopefully ready to let our footy do the talking.

[eliminator]

Agree need to keep a low profile and let our footy do the talking. Adelaide have a good record against us. I can't recall us ever thrashing Adelaide. They will come out pumped. Beating them would be a big statement.
