Game Chat – Adelaide v GWS Giants

Written by Thommo on June 8 2019

Where and when: Adelaide Oval, Saturday, June 8, 7.10pm ACST

What it means for Adelaide: The eighth-placed Crows (6-5) are just keeping their head above water in the finals race, but a win over a genuine premiership contender would be a massive statement.

What it means for Greater Western Sydney: The second-placed Giants (8-3) are rolling nicely on the back of three straight wins. The Crows would be their most significant scalp since knocking off Geelong in round four.

The stat: The Crows have won eight of the 11 meetings between the two clubs, but the Giants won both of the encounters last year. The Giants also went a perfect two from two at Adelaide Oval in 2018, and have a 3-5 record overall at the venue.

The match-up: Daniel Talia v Jeremy Cameron

Talia – the Crows’ premier key defender in the Official AFL Player Ratings –  faces one of his biggest challenges of the season. Cameron – the Giants’ best forward – has been in unstoppable form, leading the Coleman Medal race with 38 goals.

It’s a big week for: Bryce Gibbs

The Crows midfielder could get a tagging role for a second straight week, this time running with Giants star Stephen Coniglio. Gibbs did a great negating role on Clayton Oliver in the second half of last week’s comeback win against Melbourne.

Thommo’s Tip: Giants by 10 points.

  1. Missed the VC on Danger and Cripps, had it on Cunnington. Doesn’t look like he’ll put up a captain-worthy score.

    So, who to captain:

    T.U: J. Kelly

    T.D: Oliver

    1. Cunnington ended up putting up 132. Always frustrated when this happens, unsure what to do now:

      T.U: Roll the dice only J. Kelly to remain competitive, lot of people had the VC on Danger and Kelly.

      T.D: Play it safe and take Cunnington’s 132.

  10. Taranto and Crouch are blitzing but negated somewhat by Williams and Coniglio under par. The SuperCoach Gods giveth and taketh as they wish.

      1. I think the five guys i have on field in this game will net me 400 points. Mainly cause of Matt crouch.

        Leaving me with on about 1500 with 5 to play. Fingers crossed!

    1. Do nothing the whole game , kick a couple in the last qtr crack the ton. Keep your team in it for the whole game , more possessions , better de, get an 80 odd .

    1. Good formula for scoring, do nothing for 3 qtrs, then run riot and score a ton.
      I know sc weights scores when game is on line!!!
      The game is actually on the line from first bounce.

  15. The AFL need to do something to stop the congestion, extend the 6 6 6… these games of 4goals to 3 at half time are doing my head in

      1. 2 from each team in 50 arc and further 3 behind centre line at ALL stoppages. The u18s have played an anti flooding rule for years… all draftees know it, just bring it into the big league

  16. Book one in for scoring anomolies , reckon laird was hard done by.
    28 disposals lots of kicks , 82% de, loads of metres gained.
    Big fat 81 points , anyway doesn’t matter bullshit scores are already in the book.
