How do we stop the crows?/ How do/to beat Adelaide? [merged]

Just by believing.

Agree with most we need to stop there run from the back half and win the centre ball and keep it nice and tight on our terms.As people saying if they get clear ball they can score easily,be interesting to see how teams they struggled with set up against them.

[eliminator]

Definitely need to bring a high pressure game and to negate their run from the backline.

I think we can beat them. Since we played them our mediums such as caddy and Townsend have learnt to halve the contest against taller opponents, if we do that it will go a long way to beating them. We are a much improved side that got done to them earlier this season and let’s be honest that game was like a perfec storm, ridiculous frees, ridiculous goals a couple of injuries. It’s on our turf now

Very simple
All we need to do is defend the entire ground when we don't have possession

Most clubs can't do it , we can
🏆

That is very very good point and yes it is something we can do. If we do we will win, and if we add a little DUSTY too easy

[Slipper]

I think the stoppages will be critical in this game, and we need to really study the tape from the other Prelim.

The Crows killed the Cats at stoppages, not just winning the ball but creating the player behind the stoppage to deliver the ball to advantage.

Nank needs to have a big game but more importantly, so does Grigg. When Grigg is in the ruck we effectively have another mobile player at the stoppage. If he can stop the Crows getting the ball out the their player behind the stoppage, that will really hurt them.

The real question being how do the crows stop us?

[georgies31]

We need a better first half then yesterday.Too many passengers not involved enough waiting for others to do the work.Crows won't let you get way with that and come back into the game second half.

Geebung looked ordinary in that game, they were cooked early, were not chasing or pressuring, had a few goes but looked buggered from a long campaign.  Not sure what we can take from that match.  Our turf, should take a bit of the edge off of them

[torch]

1 more match ...

How do we beat Adelaide?

[Diocletian]

Our depth should still at least have Carlton covered in the season opener next year.....if you catch my drift.....

[Francois Jackson]

Let's discuss this after 4pm because if we lose our captain we have no stuffin hope after watching that display yesterday

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Our depth should still at least have Carlton covered in the season opener next year.....if you catch my drift.....

While I tend to agree if that's the attitude then why even bother participating in the conversation?
They appear to have us covered but if we can get first hands and kick for goal like we did against Freo...

[Rodgerramjet]

I think what we have to do is: During the playing of the national anthem whilst the Crows are trying to stand like superhero statues, our entire side coach and all needs to turn our backs to them pull down our strides and "Moon" the entire adelaide contingent. Gee i'd like to see that.

[MintOnLamb]

We play the intense maniacal way we have been playing all year x3, if Cotch is out that gives our players more reason to succeed for him.
We are in the GF, make the most of it and I believe we can beat the Crows no probs.
