Any OERites boldly making the trip over there?

[Tiger Khosh]

We had a habit last year of playing down to the level of the opposition, kangas, suns and crows come to mind. Hoping we come out firing and put the game out of reach early.

[WilliamPowell]

Yes going.

[Stripes]

Yes going.

As am I

You think, the crows game it was simple we hit critical mass playing too many ordinary players. Imo i reckon the west coast game could not have come soon enough for us because we were poor up to then despite scraping two wins.

How many games have  we lost just like thursdays draw where we had so many fwd 50 entries and could not capitalise.
Imo its something that has been lying just under the surface for awhile.

McAdam rubbed out. So, he'll miss our game.

Hmm i will cop the criticism if we win but Crows by 10.

[Andyy]

Never confident against them over there myself but I think we have the list to beat them still. Will be hard though and wouldn't be surprised if we lost.

Adelaide v Richmond preview

Adelaide and Richmond clash as winless sides after failing to get over the line in Round 1.

The Crows led GWS by 28 points at half-time but were overrun and eventually lost by 16 points against GWS in extremely hot conditions in Western Sydney.

The Tigers enjoyed 21 more inside 50s against Carlton in the season opener but were unable to convert, settling for a draw.

This venue hasn’t been all that kind to the Tigers when up against the Crows, winning just two of seven since 2014. They did lob in the City of Churches by 44 points in 2020 but the Crows did the job last year, saluting by 19 points despite their opponents enjoying more of the attacking play.

Matthew Nicks’ message to his Crows will likely be around the contest in midfield which did drop away in the second half last weekend. However, the Tigers do look more robust in that area now since the arrival of Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper.

Richmond’s forward line was extremely dangerous last week but the efficiency wasn’t quite there. If they can rectify that with the likes of Tom Lynch, Jack Riewoldt, Shai Bolton and Dustin Martin prowling around forward 50, then Adelaide’s defence might be in for a tough day.

It will be perfect weather for footy in Adelaide on Saturday so we’re expecting a quality game of footy with the Tigers to salute in a tight one.

Tip: Richmond by 12 points.

Jack wouldn't be on the flight if social media rumours we true about him being a late out and rested this week because he's been named on the bench.
