NON MFC: Round 16

[Sir Why You Little 35,318]

FFS we are still alive...!

[titan_uranus 23,127]

For those still playing at home, a GWS loss is a big thing for any sliver of a finals chance we still have.

If we beat them next week we'll be near-guaranteed to finish above them (subject to percentage).

If they then beat St Kilda in the final round, and St Kilda lose to West Coast, all three of us (i.e. St Kilda, GWS and us) will finish on 9 wins.

If our percentage catches St Kilda's and stays in front of GWS', we then play finals (doesn't matter what Collingwood and the Dogs do from there).

Yes that's all far-fetched. About as far-fetched as GWS losing to Adelaide.

wtf go Crows

[whatwhat say what 20,278]

carn the camry's!

[Gawndy the Great 7,953]

Geez wouldn’t it be a laugh if we stumble through to finals and Goodwin keeps his job? This is a bigger result than last night. There are a lot of similarities between us and GWS.

[Diamond_Jim 12,096]

why are they doing this to us.

I was well into my annual grief management process !!!

[TeamPlayedFine39 8,212]

Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in!

[dazzledavey36 49,735]

My god what a win by the crows!!

[Wiseblood 24,636]

Incredible result.

[Diamond_Jim 12,096]

WOW

[GCDee 3,111]

[censored] crows.... Why make the season interesting again. We don't deserve to be in with a chance. Yet here we are.

[Winners at last 4,932]

GWS .... nearly as flaky as you know who ....

[John Crow Batty 8,352]

2017 the crows stuffed our finals chances losing to WC. This year they come to our aid.

Unfortunately that is the worst thing that could happen to this club, who wants another two years of ups and downs. Well done to Crows, playing with spirit and not much skill lately, second win, well done.

This is where I am at too, I think.

Now I am just going to get hopes built up again, for no logical reason 

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,588]

GC beating Collingwood tomorrow night would open our finals campaign right back up.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Mathematical !!

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,588]

Not that an also rans finalist would be much of an achievement, but would represent a better result than last season in the circumstances.

I've always felt our season was gone from about round 5 or 6 when we had nowhere near the runs or form on the board for a top 4 finish.

[Pickett2Jackson 3,904]

So we only needed to win 1 game in Cairns to be in the 8 right now.

This club is beyond infuriating.

[Rab D Nesbitt 7,450]

What odds the crows overtaking us in a 22 game season. 

[PaulRB 6,078]

[Call Me What You Will 719]

So, I guess Goody gets one more game......

Now @titan_uranus I may be a cynical man, and I may believe in 'scripted' finishes, but if these things happen and its a' extravagahhhhhnnnnnnza for the final round... well - I'd almost believe that the AFL have ordered results to fall a particular way...
