Game Chat – Adelaide vs Melbourne

Written by Thommo on May 22 2021

Where and when: Adelaide Oval, Saturday 22 May at 4:35pm (AEST)

Last time they met: R10, 2020: Melbourne 13.10 (88) def Adelaide 5.7 (37) at Adelaide Oval.

Last five: Melbourne 3 – Adelaide 2

Match Preview: With every Melbourne win the talk of finals action grows and the snow season jokes diminish. The Crows have improved in 2021 but it will take a big effort for them to stop the Demons’ run at 9-straight victories. Unless the Crows’ midfield find a way to overcome the strong combination of Oliver, Petracca, Gawn and friends, it’s hard to see the Adelaide forward line getting enough supply to kick a winning score.

Get excited by a likely 10-straight Dees’ Fans!

Thommo Watch: 

Adelaide
Every week Rory Laird just gets it done. It’s not exciting, but it’s better than a kick in the teeth.Melbourne
Maxy is a stalwart of most teams and if you are doing it right, most teams will own Oliver and perhaps Petracca by season’s end. A few smart teams are also still running James Jordon and picked up Stevie May in recent weeks.
Thommo’s Tip: Melbourne by 30 (tipping record 14/27).

  3. Gawn VC looking ok at half time on 87. After Walsh second half today though I will be watching closely in the second half.
    Have A. Brayshaw as loophole tonight if Gawn goes on with it.

  5. Also Tex reported for dangerous tackle on Oliver.
    Should be just a fine. Worst case 1 week. Oliver got up and played reasonably quickly and actually came good and started dominating after a slow start. Maybe Tex did him a favour lol
