My Prediction
Adelaide Crows by 9Oh dearies, strap in, because you're in for a rare matchup today with Australia's pride, the Adelaide Crows, staring down their feathery counterparts, the Brisbane Lions. The AFL calendar, ladies and gents, could be likened to a early British drama, complete with round 13 now upon us, quite certainly the equivalent of the pivotal plot twist episode.
Given a quick trip down memory lane, Lions versus Crows painterly clashes are more reminiscent of two elderly men trading jabs over the last prune danish at the bakery, rather than fierce creatures locking talons and teeth. Which raises the question, how do these birds get so adversarial? It's a toss-up! Last four matches were played out like a dangerously equal chess game.
Peek into the season records and you'll find Brisbane Lions prowling at a very cozy 9-2-1, purrfectly casting shadows over the Crows and their slightly tarnished 8-4. Well yes, dear listeners, Crows do indeed cast shadows, even when facing resplendent Lions. This AFL world, I tell you, isn't always parallel with the real one.
Reflecting on recent happenings in the jungle, the Brisbane beasties played steady solitaire, only hiccup-ing on their face-off with the Demonic Melbourne. Meanwhile, our Crow buddies may have had a little whoops with Collingwood, but made quite the comeback, plastering the Eagles and the Swans all over their little AFL wall of fame.
In the fluffing feathers and fur battle (also known as AFL standings), Brisbane Lions stand at a lofty #2, peering down at the Adelaide Crows holding steady at #3.
Now, it'd be easier predicting tomorrow's weather on Mars than foretelling the outcome of this match, but we're all in this circus together, right pals?
