2017 Grand Final : Adelaide v Richmond

[Bum Crack]

I reckon they should bring in a sub rule for the Grand Final, 4 on the pine and 1 sub who can only be activated if an injury occurs. The way the game is played now if a side goes down 1 rotation early in the match they find it pretty hard to run it out.

Why change the rules for a GF?

It's supposed to be the best game of the year, gives every opportunity if 1 side is disadvantaged by an early day ending injury.

crap.
no sport changes the rules for the grand final.
If you want that crap in, have it in every game.

The match review panel change the rules for the prelim final

[MW]

yep they did

Mate, he's not even All Australian...

Very true. That did reflect with how few a votes he got in the Brownlow, oh wait

[Yangebup]

I wonder if there will be any changes for the GF from either team ala Derek Kickett style??

Both teams had bruise free second halves last week but I would like to see Richmond include the BOG from the reserves final
Sam Lloyd who is a proven goalkicker for Jason Constagne who had a disappointing preliminary final.

The Crows may go for a small player maybe Milera or Hampton to curb the Tigers mosquito fleet to replace Otten?

[Brodlach]

I think play your own game style and win the ball, that way the Crows don't have to worry about the Richmond smalls

[Booney]

Crows play a "system" so won't make any changes.

Constagna still had 18 touches for a small forward which is good, his disposal & poise let him down last week.
Could've easily kicked 4. I reckon the Richmond small forward line can cause Adelaide headaches.

[bennymacca]

I thought castagna played alright too

none of those small forwards get many touches, but if they stop the opposition rebounding easily then they have done their job.

If we kick the ball out of the back half as well as we did against geelong i cant see us losing. Our skills were exceptional. But thats obviously where the pressure from Richmond plays a part

[Booney]

Greenwood 1st goal > Douglas Norm Smith $1 @ $1066

Nice combo, hope you get that.

#crowbotsareback

Everyone plays a 'system'' now... everyone just wants to play 'their role''

Crowbots were obviously trend setters in the mid 00's... now every club wants to be like us

[carey]

Simply can't see how Richmond win this.

Adelaide have far better backs than the Tigers forwards.
Adelaide have far better forwards than the Tigers backs.
Adelaide have a deeper midfield, both starting mids classy but Cows bat deeper
Tigers will have the supporters but is that enough?

Adelaide by 54.

[amber_fluid]

I really can't bring myself to support either of these teams.
Both easily are in my top 3 most disliked teams.

I don't care who wins, I'm just going to get drunk!
