Adelaide plans to back its young midfield brigade for its clash with Richmond, which will unveil a second-gamer and a debutant as part of a unique key-position set-up.

The Crows (0-1), who went down to the Giants in Round 1, will resist the temptation to plug Rory Sloane or Ben Keays against a strong-bodied Richmond midfield, backing in younger players like Harry Schoenberg and Jake Soligo to accompany Rory Laird and Sam Berry at centre bounces.

The Tigers (0-0-1), who drew with Carlton in Round 1, have called on mature-age rookie Tylar Young to make his debut in defence, while Samson Ryan will play his second game to provide ruck support for Toby Nankervis.

THE 14 CERTAINTIES FOR THE REST OF ROUND 2

Hugh Fitzpatrick

25 March 2023

Adelaide v Richmond

Tom Lynch to kick three goals

Tom Lynch is one of the best forwards in the competition and he's a certainty to kick three majors against the Crows.

Lynch was arguably best on ground last week against Carlton, kicking 3.3 in a near match winning performance against one of the best defenders in the competition in Jacob Weitering.

There's no Weitering on Saturday with the Richmond forward likely to match-up on Nick Murray, and no offence to Murray, but Lynch should dominate him in the air.

Pencil him down for three.

Jordan Dawson to have 20 or more disposals

Jordan Dawson is a star of the competition and is so lethal by foot.

The Crows love getting the ball in his hands and with the added bonus of taking the kick-ins, surely getting 20 touches is a moral.

The last time he took on the Tigers, Dawson breezed to a tidy 23 disposals and 19 kicks and was clearly one of the Crows’ best.

Expect a repeat performance at Adelaide Oval.

The key today is to win or at least match the Crows in contested footy and to be switched on defensively on transition. We can't allow them like last time to rebound at will out of our F50 into space and hurt us on the counterattack. Set up repeat inside 50s and unlike last week make the most of them against their inexperienced defence by putting it on the scoreboard.

I hope to see a big improvement with our fwd 50 entry’s. That’s pretty much the sole reason we didn’t win by 40 points last week with 20+ fed 50 entry’s.

[mightytiges]

Turnover . Gift for the Crows in the first minute  .

[wayne]

Nice handball Marlion 

[mightytiges]

Butchering and fumbling ever possession. Just like last week 

[mightytiges]

Well they returned the gift. Broad + 50 = goal 

Rich  1.0-6
Adel  1.0-6

[JP Tiger]

Holy cow!  A 50mtr penalty for a goal!    ...   

[mightytiges]

Young kick in traffic towards Lynch who kicks to Samson on the lead 30 out. Goal! 

Joins the first kick first goal club.

Rich  2.0-12
Adel  1.0-6

[mightytiges]

Holy cow!  A 50mtr penalty for a goal!    ...   

We should frame it it's so rare.

[wayne]

Broad will get a week or two

[mightytiges]

Broad will be sighted for that.

These things could be avoided if the umps blew the whistle immediately for a ball up.

[mightytiges]

Great finish by Bakes 

Rich  3.0-18
Adel  1.1-7
