Flashbacks to Josh Bruce taking 5 steps and it not being called play on last weekend

[deanox 9,989]

that was a horrible 50 m penalty.  possibly the worst decision of the year. 

[Demon Jack 6,930]

Swans back in front!

 

[monoccular 17,573]

Two horrible turnovers will cost the Crows. 

[mrtwister 652]

Sydney in the bottom four of the finals just feels like a great white shore side of a sandbar. Would rather them in the top four. 

[leave it to deever 17,517]

Weve got the close one/

[monoccular 17,573]

Make that 3

[deelete my account 1,194]

At least the Crows won't rest against Wce now.

[brendan 3,437]

Big win for swans, the pressure is well and truly on tigers now if they drop a game will lose top 4

[monoccular 17,573]

That incorrect 50 has been the final difference.

But Crows' kicking at goal I guess was more of the problem

Even if the Toiges choke twice they won't, sadly, be able to come 9th.

The crows seemed to lose every contest in the last 5 mins. Even with the ball needing to get a goal to win, looked like they had zero chance with how unstructured and tired they were. I suspect Sydney could have won by 2 or 3 goals if they didn't switch to match saving mode.

Good result, Adelaide will now have to go hard at the Eagles next week or go into the finals on a losing streak.

What made it worse was the umpire in control was raising his hands to call play on as Pannel stuffed the call up and gave a 50mtr...

 

[Macca 17,032]

Swans just too professional ... from our point of view we'll almost certainly avoid them in the first week of the finals if we win out.

[pineapple dee 2,892]

Surely there'll be an inquiry into how the umps allowed Sydney to prevail. They did their darndest to get an Adelaide win yet they stuffed it up. Shame , shame , shame !!!!

[deeko 952]

I'm ok with the swans in the top 4 delaying us a Sept meeting for at least another week shall we make it. 

After tonight's game I honestly think only one of these two or the Giants can win this year.

Id love to see the cats fall from grace and miss the top 4. Would be gorgeous however it means supporting the filth tomorrow which hurts.

Gee, Tex must be thinking i really studied that throat massage of Redpaths and i still haven't got it right. It's up about three inches

Praise. I wonder if he knew he'd kick the goal when he was 100m out. 

The fact is he ran too far and should not have been awarded the goal. Having said that apart from that incident and the Mills 50 in the last quarter the umpiring was so in favour of the crows it wasn't funny. I would hate to play them there in a final.

[DistrACTION Jackson 9,212]

Very good result for us.

Win both our games and we will avoid the Swans week one of finals.

Richmond lose and we most likely play them..... that would be a dream.

Not necessarily.

If port beat the dogs tomorrow, then thump GC next week they could finish 5th and Sydney 6th.

You still have to wait for the ump to call play on. You can't just tackle the guy because you think he has played on. Ump got it right but it looked awful.

But what if Port also win their next 2 games while absolutely thumping a rabble in GC. They'll end up with a better percentage than Sydney with the final ladder as follows:

5) Port

6) Sydney

7) Melbourne
