Game Chat – Adelaide vs Geelong

Written by Thommo on August 23 2020

Where and When: Adelaide Oval, Sunday 23 August at 1:05pm (AEST)

Last time they met: Geelong 14.12 (96) def Adelaide 10.9 (69) at GMHBA

What it means to Adelaide: Do they have any pride? If they do, they will want to chalk up a win at some stage this season. For now, the fans of the Crows will accept some signs of improvement against the Cats.

What it means to Geelong: This is one of those annoying games where the Cats should win easily so they will receive no credit if they win but they will suffer condemnation if they lose. Geelong just need to chalk up a comfortable win, and avoid injuries.

Supercoach Watch: Laird, Crouch and Brodie Smith are the more popular Crows while for Geelong, Dangerfield, Duncan, Stewart, Menegola and Tom Hawkins are in plenty of sides (or soon will be).

Thommo Watch: I will be glued to Rory Laird, whose mid-season resurgence has helped my SC squad.

Thommo’s Tip: Do I need to tell you?

  1. Hey coaches,
    Thoughts on Duncan as captain ? Can’t decide between him as a Smokey or just rolling with Neale.
    TU – Slam Dunks
    TD – Neale

  2. Who to field?

    THU : Close
    TD: D Cameron

    Thinking Close as no guarantee that Cameron is in the final for tomorrow yet?

  4. Is umpiring that hard? FFS
    You take on a tackler, you get caught and don’t dispose of it properly – FREE

    It’s getting beyond a joke. What happened to the days where you didn’t notice them? They are deciding games more than ever before.

      1. Thanks Stu! I haven’t seen many Crows games, but Keays interests me. Trying to gauge him as a starting mid-price for next year.

        Do you think he’d be able to develop his disposals and decision-making in the off-season to get sort of mid-way between where he is and a J.Steele-type?

        Resilient, defensive midfielder with good endurance, hit that 85+ per game (and occasional breakout)?

        With a rebuild, you’d think one or two of the senior mids will move out to make way for the youth, but Keays could hold that mid spot while the draft picks or big trades come through. I think he’d compliment someone like Will Phillips from the draft.
