The Crows are smashing it at the moment . An absolute juggernaut.

I'm ecstatic about being 5-0 but can't see us toppling the Crows in their hostile cauldron.

I hope that we can stay in the game for as long as possible and give them something to think about .

Adelaide have unbelievable fire power - it's a massive step up in quality.

I'm looking at this game as a free swing , and a reality check but looking forward to the challenge.

4 quarter effort. If we play 4 good quarters we will win I reckon. I think we are quite similar teams.

I think we'll lose over there by 3 or 4 goals. Once the crowd kicks in its a cauldron. Over here it would be a different story.

Toughest test in football right now given th giants are still in cruise control. Just want us to work hard and run and gun, if we do that the result will take care of itself.

They're still well ahead of us. Not expecting a win but just want to see the same tackling pressure and intensity that we've shown most of the season.

I think they will run over the top of us but if we leave it all the field like how saint kilda just got outclassed by dangerwood i won't be too upset

After watching the pre season match against the Crows
Think we are a very good chance
Considering we have had only 70-80 points averaged kicked against us so far this year
Restrict Eddie to 2 goals and we can win
Big jobs for Rance , Astbury and Conca next week
They do there job , we win

My lid came off when Jack dobbed his final goal last night.

Thalia is a massive omission for them.

We got a not bad record against the crows in SA.Bring in 4 qtrs effort we a in the game.I think it's a test for them to being at home and undefeated people saying they haven't play much either.Pressure is on them no doubt.
