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

    Two horrible turnovers will cost the Crows.

    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.

    Make that 3

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

    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...

    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.

  • Quote

    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 !!!!

  • Quote

    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.

    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.

  • Quote

    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

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
