Cant wait footy starts next month who will win in Dubai?

Question

magpies and crows in Dubai who will win give a good reason

Answer 1

I cant wait either - It will be interesting to see the Magpies play in Dubai.

With the heatwave we have had in both Melbourne and Adelaide, the weather/conditions in Dubai will favor both teams equally.

It will come down to skill and team play and I think Collingwood is much stronger and will win (I predict a close one!)

Answer 2

I honestly think the pies will win this one. I think they really need to show everyone that they wont be a team to mess with. Also to show everyone that they can be competitive without Bucks. Im sure it will be an interesting match.

Answer 3

Crows.

As someone else said, the magpies are not used to playing games outside Melbourne. They will not be able to handle the travel part of the game.

Answer 4

i think the adelaide crows will. they are just in better form last ime i saw them

Answer 5

I am tipping Adelaide, simply because I have doubts on Collingwood to do well without their 3 biggest game players, plus they are travelling away from Melbourne.

Answer 6

I think the Magpies will win it. The Crows really went off the boil this year, and are still trying to find a real key forward. Scott Welsh is now gone, and Ken McGregor will take some time to get used to playing in the forward line regularly again, as he only made occasional appearances there, spending most of his time in the backline.

Answer 7

Depends on which team takes it seriously.

Answer 8

oh...i have forgotten that the Crows and Pies are playing in Dubai...it will be very interesting and I wonder how many people will be at the game.

as a pies fan, I will have to go for them. I disagree with another persons answer above saying that the pies are not used to leaving melbourne. Both teams are in a country that they are not used to with conditions that will most likely be different to anywhere in Australia....in a coastal desert sort of thing.

So it is a very level playing field...both teams do have a decent rivalry....I think I have to say the pies by less than 2 goals...but like I said, I feel obliged to say that as a collingwood fan...but it will be very close!

Answer 9

I will just be happy that the footy starts. My mate that is an AFL timekeeper is the emergency timekeeper if the two the league sends, if one of them can't go to Dubai.

I bet I will not be able to watch the game, the rest of the NAB, the regular season, the finals or the grand final on television here in America, third year in a row.

Anybody want to help make me wrong?

G'day down there in Oz. We finally may get to melt the snow here in Kansas this weekend. Thursday is our first day of daytime temperatures over 0C for almost two weeks.

Answer 10

I tip the Crows. They will be trying to gain some momentum after last year. The Pies will be more focused on the home and away season.

Answer 11

Crows, because the Magpies are not used to leaving Melbourne to play football.
