Chook

We didn't choke remember. Goody assures us Finals weren't spoken about.

Betts to Jenkins to goal! Yass. We're in the 8 again... This is going to be a long day.

Make that 3 and I'm in the turps.

West Coast get 2 in the blink of an eye and I'm depressed again.

Crows get another. Down by just 2. Adelaide's delivery into forward 50 is so much cleaner than Melbourne's. I hope the players are watching that.

Cameron smoked Jetta there. Love it. Crows are coming.

Crows breaking it open a bit now.

And we're in the 8 again. Weight of numbers is starting to show in Adelaide's favour, though their forward line isn't functioning all that well without Walker in the side.

Jacobs is reminding me of 2016 Gawn. Max is so far off that right now though.

Crows dominating time inside 50 but just can't score.

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.

I'd take a prelim. Anyone else?

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

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

Wow the umpiring is so ridiculously pro-Eagles.

Ok. We're up by about a goal on them and it's not even quarter time yet. Come on Crows. DO SOMETHING!!!

Almost every team gets overawed in its first final. Do you want that to be this year or next year?

Of course they do. There's a finals spot on the line…

Eagles tackles in the first 11 minutes: 12 Melbourne tackles in the first 11 minutes: 0 Effort and want.

Let alone by 4 goals.

Eddie gets the 1st. It might be fun to barrack for a really good side for once!

If Sydney started the year on fire but lost their last six games instead of starting 0-6, would you say they don't deserve to make it?

And then next year we make the finals and get embarrassed because we have no finals experience and it overawes us? This is a massive opportunity to taste what it's like. We are better off having that experience, no matter how we get there. And Melbourne vs Port at Adelaide Oval after a rest for our young players isn't exactly an unwinnable game.

I can't believe how many people think the same club that lost to us on their home deck is a lay-down misere to beat the ladder leaders. Of course it could happen, but my word. Oh wait, they BOTH lost to us on their home deck, so we're obviously the better side, and therefore deserve to make finals... Not only do WCE have to win, they have to do it by 4 goals.

Over to you crows...
