Recommended Posts

When was the last time we beat the Crows twice in the same season?

Also we have beaten them at Adelaide Oval the last two seasons.  And rolled them there in 2015 too. 

We own those punks.

Dees mate from work sent myself and the boss (mad Crows fan) a text after the game “we’re going to petition the AFL to play at the Adelaide Oval every week”.

Shockingly no response...

1998 I believe.  Or 1999.  I can't remember.  Either way it's been a while!

I want to go to the pub... but there is a typhoon in the neck of my woods.

Fair dinkum. She was a tough slog those last 7 minutes. But clearly tactics came into play this week. Fritsch was put behind the ball. We didn't try to go coast to coast after it started raining. Instead of 'pretty' footy, winning was our prerogative.

 She will be a tough slog going forward. But with Jack and Hibbo back soon (fingers crossed), I don't write us off against anyone.

Shag it. Time for another can. YOU LITTLE ANZAC!

I haven't been able to see the game yet, but I was checking on my phone and when we went from 30 points up to 14 points up with 10 minutes left, I completely lost all confidence.

I'm sure there were parts of the fourth which stank and we probably made similar errors to last week, but to hold on and actually get it done, on the road, with the extreme pressure that this game put on us just to stay in the finals hunt, is immense.

Adelaide is a good team.

Their last two home games were wins against GWS and Geelong, and they had most of their best players back.

They did play in the GF last year......

I really like the way Petracca is settling into his midfield role.  He seems to have realised that he doesn’t need to tear the game apart single-handed and do the ‘highlight reel’ things to have an impact.  Keep it simple and do it well.

Nup, this is the first time we've ever beaten them twice in the same season.

It's only the third time we've won consecutive games against them, too (first time since 1999).

A typhoon never killed anyone. 

Of course not. It's why so many people around here go fishing before it makes ground.

I was golf clapping in the 3rd, by the end of the game i was smacking myself in the face. 

Considering what happen last week it's shocking how close we let it get. Adelaide butchered so many chances and Eddy, McGovern missed  certain goals. We even had the weather on our side.

I literally broke my hand celebrating. 

I am enjoying it! But this is not a done deal. We are not safe in finals and we have 3 very hard games left. 

Why is Gold Coast a very hard game?

Kevin Bartlett gave us no chance to beat Adelaide on SEN. I hope he thinks we are a better team now and gives us a little respect. 

Frankly, who actually cares what Bartlett thinks? I certainly do not.

    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
