Ok, I have set myself up for some colourful answers here, seeing as Adelaidians are a minority on here:)))
Put all of your bias aside and let me know where you think we might finish?
I personally don't think we will make it anywhere near the top 8 and I am a passionate crows girl :(((
Imawunda, give me your best shot buddy!!!!

Why thankyou guys :)
Deedubya, I'll never give up on us, just being realistic:)
Also just heard on the radio that Craigy may be getting the axe!!!
Apparently his stubbornness is causing big trouble! He is such a stickler for the guys to do EXACTLY as he says and he hasn't bent not noce like he said he was going to try and do.
Looks like we'll be looking for a new coach soon .
Very Interesting.
COME BACK BLIGHTY, PLEASE ♥

Labsci.
That is Craigy's problem, he is so freaking stubborn about wanting the guys to play where he wants, and not where they are naturally suited. This I think will be his undoing!!

I think they have the WRONG coach and the wrong attitude. Hell they've got talent and SA has always put forward great players but it seemed last year they relied on Roo and the rest were lazy.
Perhaps his departure will prompt them to find a new era, but I think they'll need to rebuild. You also lost the best young defender in the league (what the hell was his name? damn).
11th this year. Craig will be sacked mid year after 8 straight losses and the following year they will be in the top four.

Yeah i reckon they are. Sitting 2nd on the ladder after round 20, only 1 loss at home this year (against Collingwood), we beat the team sitting on top atm, at the SCG. We beat Carlton while they were one of the favourites to win the flag, at Etihad (their season went down hill after facing the Crows), and all this after finishing 14th last year. Couldn't be happier, just personally. funny thing is, we haven't even played Brisbane OR Melbourne this year yet! Weird how the draw works, but oh well. If people are upset about the draw, they should look at how many times Collingwood play in Melbourne every single year lol.

5th or 6th.
They have lost a few players that have just been stupid off the field, and been disruptive at training.
Neil Craig will, no doubt, make sure all the young players coming in will be very fit. I expect that he will be making better use of his interchange bench, and stop putting players in positions where they are just not suited, particularly in important games. I expect that early in the season, they may lose more than they win, but when positions are settled, they will pick up in the second half of the season.

Hey young lady , never give up on ya team! When I coached U18 footy, we lost up to 13 players each year because of the age thing but we remained competitive finished 2nd twice and 3rd twice, then the club pres sacked me, because we hadn't won a flag, he had no idea of what it took to build a team. In each year we basically had a new team, but we remained "competitive". Don't be put off by the crows losing a couple of "names" . The Club is strong , Neil Craig is an astute coach , and ya never know, when one door closes it creates opportunity for another to open . The next Mark Riscuitto could be waiting his opportunity. I expect the Crows to be as competitive as ever in 08, so good luck !

Adelaide proved last season they are still good enough to play finals, even with the injuries they had.
I can't see them finishing in the top 5, but judging by last years performance i do think they will finish in the top 8.
My tip, Adelaide to finish 7th after the home and away games.

Hey there, in contrast to what said, I think they are capable and have the team to be in the top 8, they will struggle to get there though.
Adelaide will surprise alot of people and the so called experts in the media (they are full of sh*t, especially Robert Walls.) Adelaide will lose games that they should of won, but I predict they will finish 5th to 8th.

I also think you would be lucky to make the 8. I think the forward line is going to be the main concern. While your backline should be OK to stand up, despite being a bit old, the forward line is going to struggle.
Without your regulars that you have gotten rid of up forward, waaaaay too much pressure will be on hentchel in his return season. I can't see enough goals coming from your forward line to really contend.

All depends on how fit Andrew McLeod is, I would think. If he can't go 80-100 percent, then the Crows will have their problems.
I would think 7th or 8th and then one game and out in an elimination final.
