Game Chat – Adelaide vs Essendon

Written by Thommo on July 26 2020

Where and when: Adelaide Oval, Sunday 26th July at 1:05pm (AEST)

Last time they met: Rd 18, 2019: Essendon 15.6 (96) def Adelaide 10.15 (75) at Adelaide Oval.

What it means for the Adelaide: I don’t like to repeat myself, but the Crows need to show something. Their list is just not that bad to be winless for the season.

What it means for Essendon: They are a bit of a forgotten team, the Bombers, and they are not playing bad footy. They need to clean up the Crows in quick fashion and bank the 4 points.

Thommo’s Watch: After grabbing Ridley early in the season, I’ll be sure to watch him fondly as he (hopefully) racks up those intercept marks!

Thommo’s Tip: Bombers 20 points.

    1. Relax bomber fans.
      I’m sure they’ll sit around and discuss the game over a nice warm coffee, before they have to get changed and drink the sponsor’s energy drinks just like any other footy team does….
      No harm in that is there????

  2. Sorry Wighty and Bombers fans
    I’m tipping an upset .
    Watched Adelaide and Saints game last week and Adelaide had their chances and looked the best they have all year . Shiel, Stringer and Heppel all missing from mids and Adelaide playing in front of home crowd .
    Need Laird to be best on ground after performances of Lloyd and Sicily and Devon Smith for Bombers .
    Will be watching Merrett closely with his large break even and assistance he could be with Byes and Shiel back next week

  3. Chopping dev smith for treloar. All you other owners out there, hold him cause he’s bound to go BIG after that!

    1. Good call GD, I thought maybe not trade him because maybe he could score well against crows but hes just too frustrating. Upgraded to Lyons and feeling a lot better about my midfield now

      1. Yeah. Really nice move there, Tom.

        I got Ridley in for Hill so I probably shouldn’t be complaining about this game, but Smith is just infuriating to watch.

    2. I was hoping to loop hole him and someone else as my team fills out but… having second thoughts.

        1. Thanks. The crows definitely leak a lot of points to the opposition midfield.

          I’m loop holing Hibbard, so hopefully he can keep scoring well.

          1. Ha ha.

            I took a punt on Hibberd too.

            40 to half time 🙂

            I left the E on Pickett’s 60, so I’m hoping he can keep this up.

            1. Hopefully Hibbard can keep it up for us both.

              I have Picket at M5, my midfield looks like I bought it on special at Aldi.

              M5 in my team is where Premo’s go to get injured. Dunkley, Bailey Smith then Rowell.

    1. Basically a rookie at this stage: @ HT 18 SC, 40% DE, free kick against, only one contested possession and a negligible 55 meters gained.

      I’ll be relieved if he can somehow manage 60 from here.

  4. Afternoon all, just a short interruption to the footy, to thank everyone for your messages. Much appreciated.
    Thanks guys for blocking the idiot(s).
    SCT is Still by far the best site for supercoach on the internet.

    Have a great afternoon and may your players go massive.

    Cheers

  5. Why doedee why, I thought you were a juicy fit for d6 when I picked you up for 270k. You repayed me so well and I cherished you. Looks like Tom Stewart here I come

    1. If it’s any consolation, I brought him in this week. Could have grabbed the Eggmman and it would have worked out better. My team is beyond hope now.

  6. Is B Smith an upgrade option from Starc or is not worth the stress and anguish of being his owner and instead pick a safer option

  7. Geez bombers got away with that. Adelaide were all over them in that last qtr. Dev smith on 50 pre scaling against the worst team in the comp. Surely is a must trade this week

    1. Bombers have Lions and Giants in the next two weeks, those teams just hoover up all the points too.

  8. How ironic that Devon Smith has the ball when the final siren sounds. Had hardly seen it all day
    BTW thank you Mr McPherson for your VERY nice score
