Laird was such a set and forget lock in my team I had to triple check he was even there haha. Thankfully he is.

Bloody great win by the bombers.

Worrying signs for the Crows, can't handle pressure.

good game - wouldn't read too much into it for Crows with their late pre-season start after a GF ...

I actually thought it was BT and Bruce??! ;)

Was always going to be extremely tough without Tex, Lynch, BCrouch, Knight, and obviously no Smith so I expected a loss away against an improving Bombers outfit; bringing in an underdone Greenwood for the injured Gibson severely hampered our outside run as well, really need Tex and Lynch back next week against the Tigers, but well done to the Bombers tonight.

Yeah certainly was a factor last night with the Tiges... <.<

Must say, i thought the Crows done really well in the circumstances. Still believe a full strength Adelaide, is a big threat this year. The Bombers look very exciting, and lost Zerrett early. Good Friday night game to watch. Now the umpires, well, getting pissed of with these 50's, for getting in the zone. Seems to harsh for me

GoLions · March 24, 2018, 12:18:58 AM

So at this stage it looks like Bombers > Crows >>> Tigs > Blues

Gonna be an interesting year!

Don't even want to look at my AF. Believe I had Byrne and Weits (who was a placeholder that I forgot about) in that one. Also have Kreuz and Merrett in RDT so I feel the pain. At least it's R1. If a guy is to get concussed it's this week. If he kills it the rest of the season people won't be able to afford him since he will only have 1 price drop potentially.

We've got a few injuries it looks like. Gleeson, Ambrose, Myers, Colyer, Fantasia out. Parish doubtful.

Even with Tex and Crouch out I am more hopeful than optimistic of our chances.

I was wrong. 5 of our best 22 out and down to 3 on the bench for 3 quarters. Good win.

Have Zerrett and Kreuz in AF.....
