What chance do you give the crows this week against hawthorn?

they beat us last week quite well





hawthorn didn't beat us like Adelaide did, either we are playing worse now or Adelaide has gotten better, i think it is the first, we are worse, piss off tiva, bowds and a couple of others and put our young blokes back in to run like mad men.





hawks are a better side but stranger things have happened, it is in Adelaide.

What chance do you give the crows this week against hawthorn?
Last year when Hawthorn played Adelaide at AAMI Stadium, the Crows won by 71 points.





Hawthorn have so injury troubles as well, Sewell will be out, Bateman is doubtful, Robert Campbell may miss this week and also Guerra probably won't play.





Won't be a blow out, Adelaide definitely do have a chance. All depends on if the Crows can keep Buddy and Hawthorn's midfield fairly quiet.
Reply:I don't think they will, with the talls the hawks have in the forward line as well as the small crumbers it will be tough to stop them scoring, even though the Crows defence is good it will be a big task for them. Not to mention the inclusion of Dew and Hodge with a game under his belt after his hammy, think the hawks will get over the line
Reply:well i went to see the clash between these two earlier in the year and have to say that hawthorn should win easily





adelaide's lack of youth will bite them and with the loss of burton the crows will find goals hard to come by





however if buddy and roughy are in accurate hawthorn may lose





my tip:hawks by 25 points





cheers
Reply:Truthfully anything is possible. Its true Franklin is hard to stop but stop him and Hawthorn crumbles he is definitely the pace setter in that side.


Plus its being played in Adelaide with the home field advantage i think we can all agree itl be a good game.


Atleast we dont have to be winning by more than 40 points at three quarter time just to win ey Port...Still hurting i picked them last week

Reply:WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME HAWTHORN BEAT ADELAIDE IN ADELAIDE????





the answer, is 14 YEARS AGO. it has been 14 years since the hawks have beaten the crows at Aami. that is why i would give the crows a big chance. last time crows faced hawks here in aami, the crows absolutely thrashed em by a good 10 or 12 goals
Reply:they do. hawks are great and franklin is awesome but they can go off the boil at times. if adelaide play good then they might win. i dont think the hawks are quite there yet, to the standard geelong have set.
Reply:i think it will be a close match. the crows are a good side but i hope they lose the match only coz i want collingwood to go above them on the ladder.
Reply:Adelaide to win and win comfortably. Its played in Adelaide, the Hawks are good, but the Crows can match them. Stop Franklin....you stop Hawthorn from winning.
Reply:None whatsoever.





Geelong are the only team with enough quality defenders to put pressure on Franklin (but two of those are now injured).





Hawks live around that guy at the moment and he looks unstoppable. Hawks by 80 points +
Reply:I actually think Adelaide could be the side to beat the Hawks...never underestimate a side - thats the motto of this season!!





Maybe I'll even tip the Crows for an upset ;)
Reply:You gotta give evry team a chance.





Adelaide can definately beat Hawthorn but they need to be in top form. It would be a major upset if the Crows won.





I think the Hawks will win easily though.
Reply:None the Crows are really only just getting thru there games they have played no real competition for a few weeks Hawks will be way 2 strong and should win by no less then 40 points
Reply:I give them a good chance of beating Hawthorn.





Hawthorn have shown that they have a few players that can't handle prolonged pressure.
Reply:Ha Ha Ha...That's a joke -Right...





The Crows have no hope in hell of beating the Hawks,Franklin is just too good...


Hawks will win by at least 10 goals i rekon......
Reply:no way in hell will adelaide win hawks are to strong with buddy.roughie,willow,boyle and rest of our goal kicking we will win easily
Reply:none whatsiever
Reply:its gonna be close.
