Score line reflects effort.

Adelaide are on top of the ladder for a reason and they should still win comfortably. I cannot see the Eagles maintaining that effort for the next 3 quarters.

Thank goodness for this forum.  I don't feel so alone in my bloody disappointment

The joke is we were 32 points ahead of the Lions late in the game and like the Saints game, frittered away a good lead and had we not, we would be ahead of the Bombers on percentage. We have abso

What a great idea dressing the umps in blue to blend in with Footscray's jumper - lets face it it's the same team after all

Not looking good for us. Eagles are smashing the Crows. Crows just jogging round with nothing to play for.

Absolutely pathetic end to the season. Even if we miraculously make finals from here, unless we fluke a premiership then this season can only be deamed a failure. What a disappointment this club is.

Personal pride

A pre-finals 'kill'

Knocking a rival out of proceedings

Exerting superiority

Practising the game plan

Being professional

Winning form

I used to think & play that way and I was just a suburban hack

 

The Crows have had enough "kills" this year hence why they are the best team in the league.

Today is circle work training for them. Many teams have done this in the past and still won premierships.

Adelaide fell well behind Sydney early last week but turned it around.

They're a strong second quarter team.

If they're still 3 goals behind at HT I'll be worried.

If you were Adelaide who would you prefer to play in the first final:  GWS or Richmond?

If answer is GWS they are indifferent to whether they win or lose today as GWS will shortly be 4th.

If answer is Richmond they won't mind losing as Richmond will shortly be 3rd.

The equation for us is still the same:  If Crows were to lose let it be by less than 4 goals...:rolleyes:

Adelaide can't move from 1st even if they lose.

Don't blame them. They've got top spot win or lose and are just trying to get through unscathed to prepare for their finals series.

We did this to ourselves by repeatedly losing games against bottom placed teams. It's pathetic.

Who cares if we make finals we get smoked by 60 by the Swans week 1 

I'd like to know how we can possibly play the swans from here. It's a weekend of Port or a summer of beer. Those are the options.

Yeah, you're probably right J.

I'm trying to rationalise it all and find a way (clutching at straws by the looks of it)

The only way that is possible is if tigers loose and wce don't knock us out. If wce don't knock us out, we will play port.

 

edit: beat me to it chook

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
