Adel: big game next week, against Freo in Perth. If they lose they'll be in danger of slipping back to the pack, with games against St K, NM (away), Port (showdown), WCE, Geel (away) and Ess to come.
As a Crows fan, I've got to say I'm not that worried about a loss this weekend. We were hoping to win 1 of our 5 games in this block - 4 games in, we won 3 and got beaten by a Magpies side that played very well in the other. Even if we lose this, our run home is *SO SOFT*.
Our run home:
Freo (A) - might win
Saints (H) - should win
Kangas (A) - might win
Tigers (H) - should win
Power (A) - should win
GWS (A) - better win otherwise will cry
Eagles (H) - might win
Cats (A) - probably lose
Bombers (H) - might win
Freo (H) - should win
Lions (A) - should win
Melbourne (A) - should win
Suns (H) - see entry for GWS.
So, that's 8 games we should definitely win, 4 we may win (home ground advantage against all the tougher teams except the Cats) and one we will probably lose. If we take 2 of those 4 may wins, that gives us 17-5. which should keep us above most of the pack, I'd think...
Have I been too optimistic here?
