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.

This is bad 

WEst Coast look really on. I'm worried 

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.

Wow the umpiring is so ridiculously pro-Eagles.

And with that goal we are 9th

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

 

Players gonna hit the town tonight?

Commentary is pro-eagles too.

 

Er...

game over guys. west coast we're always going to win because they are playing for a spot in the final. adelaide are finishing top no matter what. we are just losers

Plane taking off. Much like Melbourne's final chances. 

We are gone. Crows don't give a stuff. Missing tackles no defence

Adelaide's forward structure is almost non-existent right now.

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.

Crows looking [censored] which looks extremely [censored] for us 

I completely forgot that posts can't be deleted now.

C'mon Crows, lift your game!

 

WCE a single point ahead of where they need to be...
