I read on Bigfooty Crows board that we’ve gone backwards because we beat them by 15 goals last time. 

Keyword Crows fans: LOST 

[Nasher 33,607]

Always funny to see how overboard fans go when they lose. Heaps of them are bagging Cheney, when I thought he was frustratingly difficult for us to get past and played a significant role in repelling our scoring opportunities. Would have been in the top 6 if I was voting in Crowland Player of the Year.

Then there’s the “it’s all the leaders fault” posts. Funny how leadership is always shining in wins and disastrous in losses.

It’s no different to here after a loss. People can’t see through their own disappointment, and look at the players through that lense.

I reckon I could program a forum posting bot where I just feed it the footy scores, and it writes post that mimick the average mug’s posts, and nobody would be able to tell the difference.

I've read a couple of posts now saying Cheney was good. I thought he was very ordinary and had a hand in at least a few of our goals.

My favourite from last night was the new advantage rule - Even though the crows played on they still decided to bring it back when it didn't work out.

 

Home crowd umpiring. Happens there, WA & Geelong.

A cunning way of hiding the fact that you already have done it.  But tell us which login names are bots.

And I'll be an honourary Crows fan next week hoping they smack Port good and hard.

For the MFC and finals, that will be very important. Now the Crows are next to no chance, a win for them against Port will be very helpful for the MFC. Go Demons, 'cause of a Crows win against Port.

It wasn't a tactic of the Crows, they brought the ball back as there was nowhere else to go - the Dees were circling ahead ready for a rebound re-entry into the 50m zone and the Crows defenders were by then, well out of position to stop it. All this swap 'n change of directions actually wore the Crows down, they lost speed, momentum and energy to continue with an assault. In that regard, we were clever ...

Alright. It’s @Wiseblood (only sees the good), @Clint Bizkit (ultra pessimist), @A F (sees good and bad but can’t see past his own bias once it creeps in), and @Petraccattack (goes flying off the handle in either direction over whatever happened in the last moment). Between these four autobots, I think I have the whole spectrum of footy supporters covered. 

[deespicable me 1,472]

The worst decision of the evening (among many) was the push in the back free to Hoges in the 3rd quarter. A lovely easy goal. It's great as we become a serious side that we can have periods and occasions where the umpires see things our way and give us that "good old push along".

I hate the umpires more than Essendon but the last two weeks at hostile home grounds where you expect decisions to go against you they have been fairly good. (or equally awful to both teams)

Missed Saty...

"I was chatting to [insert big name here] at training the other day, and what they told me proves you wrong."

And Prodee:

"You are wrong, and yes, I am very comfortable in my arrogance."

Not to forget WYL

"I've given this club $80 million dollars and they need to get harder! No more excuses! I blame Schwab!'

Maybe those last 3 can be add on apps for the dedicated.

I hate only one team and it is this mob, to beat them twice in the one season just about makes my year and when one of the wins is at there dung heap all the better.

May they rot at the wrong end of the ladder for the next decade.

 

That is South Australia you're talking bout, they love their footy and got SANFL stolen from them. Winners need to respect their opponents. All the same, suck it up Champs!

Nah [censored] em.

[brendan 3,433]

I wonder if other teams supporters post similar threads when they beat us, they would see some fair melts from us

”Lever has chosen money over success” - oh, hang on, are we still successful if we don’t make the finals the year after a disappointing loss in the grannie?
