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.

    Maybe its us? Maybe any team we support just goes to water… I propose we shut demonland down and never watch another game.

    5 tackles for the quarter. Crows are just showing up. No point in putting their body on the line

    WC double in the free kick count

     

    worst.

    weekend.

    ever.

    Still 3 quarters to go kids.

    No use in throwing toys just yet.

    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.

    WC are playing like Collingwood and Adelaide like us.

    FIVE TACKLES for the Crows that quarter.

    They literally arent trying.    Sickening.

    West Coast have won their 16th first quarter of the season, the equal-best record in this category. However from their first 15 first quarter wins, they have managed a win-loss record of 8-7.

    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.

    The irony.

    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.

    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.

    Free kick count 6-3 for WC, maggots will do everything they can to give the Eagles a winning send off at Subi

    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

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • 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?
