Despite the fact that Adelaide defeated Freo last week (albeit at home and off a longer break) - who'd you rather have as coach rock-hard Ross "Anyone, anytime, anywhere" or soft sausage Sando who says the Hawks will have to not be at their best for Adelaide to have any chance on Saturday? Hard to see the Crows having any chance against the hardened Hawks after that inspiring prognosis. A 10 goal margin will hardly be surprising.

And yet Freo are out of it, and the Crows play for a spot in a grand final this week?

I'm sure he would be saying something else behind closed doors.

its mind games, telling the hawk players they wont have to try hard to beat the crows and maybe catch them unawares. but he wold know they have overachieved this year as a team to make the prelim.

behind closed doors it would be all positive.

Probably a poor choice of words and not what supporters want to hear

Imagine the reaction on Demonland if Neeld said something like that.

What you call soft sausage, I call mind tricks. If Adelaide lose by anything under 76 points tomorrow, they will have performed majestically. Why not throw some mental trickery out there? It probably has about a 1% chance of having any impact, but that's the same chance the Crows have of actually winning anyway.

Some punter has place $20K on the crows at around $6....

I think the line is around 37.5 points. I'll be taking some of that.

Apparently Sando is a Jedi. Who knew?

Dean Bailey was interviewed on the news and I felt sick when I heard the shite spewing from his mouth.

The force is strong in him.

Bloody good game. Maybe the 4 quick early 3rd Q goals will be THE difference.

He certainly has put together a determined team - 2 gutsy strong power forwards sure helps.

Was fiercely critical on 'ology of Bailey when he made some not too dissimilar comments - talking about how difficult it is to win on the road before an interstate trip and was very much in the minority!

what did he say?

Something about...'all the pressure's on them'

'We can only concentrate on what we need to do...'

Just rubbish.

This man set this club back 10 years....what a disgrace he is.

I hope everyone got on. Easy money.

What was the dividend paying?

only palatable aspect of that game was that it kept scott thompson out of a grand final.

Dunno - you tell me.

Just got back from the game...its amazing what you can do with a team when they dont have to spend their time with Charlie Walsh or play like robots..

Crows just kept at it and nearly stole it.

How pleased they must be to be rid of Neil Craig and into the new decade.

Cheez between Neeld the absolute and Craig the metronome .... Good Luck

Talk about ill-informed. Following the same logic, Adelaide should have gone backwards because they signed up Dean Bailey.

"No one picked us; no one thought we would get this far, let alone to that point in the game. But we had strong belief within our group. We had strong belief we could win today, and to get so close — there is so much pain in that change room now.

"Everyone wrote us off. That is fine, because Hawthorn should be the favourites, but the underdog? Sometimes you never know.

"I did use that (as motivation). I would be lying if I said I didn’t. We were told a lot this year that we were not ready, not good enough.
