It's alright mate. Believe me, I may be blue sky and in control of my mood, but that effong hurt yesterday. You couldn't be a Melbourne supporter and not have felt kicked in the guts.

Don't despair though and definitely don't barrack for West Coast. The boys have a much better chance of redeeming themselves in our eyes if we actually make the finals, even if it is by default. I don't want this shitty feeling to be what I remember for the whole pre-season.

Carn the Crows!!

Mate, im despairing.

50 years and i have had nothing from my team. Nothing.

 

Carn the crows!!!!

Don't think i've ever barracked for another team as much as i will for the Crows today.

Carn Crows.

Same here DD, except for the Geelong v Hawthorn game at Kardinia in 87

Makes me sick that Essendrug will play finals.

 

I'm with you. 

I just cracked a bottle of spiced rum. It will ease the pain. 

how that wasn't 50 i'll never know. Umpires continue to screw us over, even when we aren't playing!

Just make sure you finish the whole bottle!

Made an oath I would not watch the Adelaide game, but I will be jumping on here every few minutes for better commentary.

You guys might make me feel that little bit better.

Season defining game...

 

And we aren't even playing... :/ 

Crows look a class above. Eagles are playing with effort but I cannot see them getting up

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...

Blow the siren 

The fact that West Coast are still a chance to make the 8 makes me sick. 

GO CROWS YOU BEAUTIFUL BERSTARDS !!!

(it shouldnt have come to this)

I've taken tomorrow off work so it's a very good chance.

Let alone by 4 goals.

What keeps me going for this game is that, even without Tex, the Crows have so many different avenues to goal.  They'll get on a roll at some stage.  Eagles will hang around but the Crows will probably score at least 80 points, meaning the Eagles need to put up 100 to make it.

Eagles tackles in the first 11 minutes: 12
Melbourne tackles in the first 11 minutes: 0

Effort and want.

Wow that was a crap kick into the forward 50. I thought we were the only team that did that?

Eagles hit the front. Time for a double shot. 

I'm getting nervous. Eagles look sharp

Of course they do. There's a finals spot on the line… 

Amazing what can happen if you try !!!!!

Idiotic after 10 seconds 

I'm not watching, I don't need the stress.

Starting to not care, if we don't make finals, we have ended the season with a loss to the pies. If we do, we get smoked in an elimination final - just delaying the inevitable really.
