Otten and Lynch to miss opening game for the Crows

[DT Gun]

Crows are very undermanned going in i think

Cats by 45

Stevie J 36 touches and 2 goal 3

[tbagrocks]

All I will say is, the Cats better be switched on!

Crows should win this even with a few out, still have Crouch, Danger, Talia, Smith, Sloane, Grigg, Porps, Betts ect. All the guys that can win matches bar Tex

Expext McKernen to play over JJ this week, McK ready to fire now  ....... ...........  ..  Finally :o

Thompson and Porps fit should not be underrated

Oh and just for DTspud, 45 points ::)

I think Crows will be a little undermanned so think the Cats will pip them, although it seems Adelaide has a good record against Geelong.

[Ziplock]

Crows are missing Douglas, Henderson, Lynch, van Berlo, Walker

Cats are missing basically Christensen, Motlop

Round 1s always so hard to call. I'd back geelong at this point though.

[kilbluff1985]

also missing Vince from last year

being at the Cattery very hard to see them losing

[kilbluff1985]

And it's Jimmy's 250th the boys will lift

[RaisyDaisy]

And it's Jimmy's 250th the boys will lift

Good guys like Jimmy don't lose milestone games like this, especially at the Cattery. Cats to win, but close game I reckon

[WizzFizz]

[kilbluff1985]
