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.

They'd want to get their skates on... 1 goal in 20 minutes...This low scoring is suiting WC to a tee

    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.

    Almost every team gets overawed in its first final. Do you want that to be this year or next year?

    This time last year I found myself having to support the Pies (I think) for a slim chance of us to make the eight. They lost and I recall saying "I hope I never have to cheer them on again". Today is the same for me. We had an opportunity to make our own luck, but instead, our finals birth rests upon that of Adelaide. So I'll be tuning out, getting on with my Sunday, and will view the final result later.

    Ok. We're up by about a goal on them and it's not even quarter time yet. Come on Crows. DO SOMETHING!!!

    Not looking good, Crows look off their game and Eagles desperate.

    Considering West Coke cost Adelaide the double chance last year you do have a point.

    Apart from that I dont sure what other motivation they would have.

    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 live online betting odds always fascinates me....Crows are now at $4.40 with Eagles at ( not sure because betting was suddenly suspended) ???

     

    Just came back and Crows at $3.50

    Someone must have put a lot of money on the Crows

    True, I'm just having a massive sook up here in Townsville.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
