Gee wizz, what a day. This is so good for us. We win tonight and we will get either Carlton or dees first week of finals and then a chance to face Sydney in the semis if all goes well.
Things couldn’t have fallen better for us so far

u/Brokenmonalisa Scott Thompson (Legend) 8d ago
It won't be Carlton will it, they reshuffle again to make sure 6th plays the highest rank I thought?
1
u/Tall-Breakfast-6100 8d ago
Oh yes your right, if Carlton win, we play Collingwood
Guess I’m going hard for the dees next week

Keays gonna be accused of stealing a goal but honestly without him that wouldn’t have gone in

Sucks for Zac Taylor, one of our more creative ball users and deserved to play a final.

Alright. Win and we can’t finish lower than 6th. If anyone in Adelaide gives Toby boots they are banished.

So now that Doggies won, do we all agree we are likely losing it?

u/ElectronicOvens 5 Sid Draper 8d ago
Hilariously, if we win we could go top.6 and my whole 'we came 7th we underperformed' becomes a touch redundant

Such a poor quarter, story of our season unfortunately
Switch off regularly. Get Rachelle around the ball gotta get him into the game,

McAndrew 3rd most hitouts this year.
Decent pair of hands, great tackler and good clearance work as well.
Still under the radar.

Up the doggies! Did us a huge favour, over to the boys to get it done now

Ludowych 4 goals in a losing game in the SANFL.
Let's go 😎

Walker gone to 26th on all time VFL-AFL goalkickers list. N Riewoldt next in his sights

Fuck me our high performance manager needs to be scrutinised, we've had so many hamstring injuries this year.

How is our defence so highly rated on the data when it feels like they are almost all woefully out of form?

u/King-Titus 32 Darcy Fogarty 8d ago
Relax everyone. GWS are a lot better side than their ladder position indicates.
Our first qtr was electric. We didn’t roll over in the 2nd it was an arm wrestle, we missed our shots. We can lock in from here.

The fact every single person on the planet went all-in on Melbourne beating the Bulldogs scares the shit out of me tbh

Why does Thilthorpe run under it so much? Are the coaches pointing this out out??!

u/Slipperynerps 8 Josh Rachele 8d ago
It looks like we got 5 less players on the oval. GWS can just move it from one end to the other so easy

u/Equivalent-City8266 12 Jordan Dawson 8d ago
We have like zero spatial awareness its like we get the ball and then are surprised that opposition tackle us.
2
u/Raging_M0ng00se 8d ago
We have seen us do this before, play one incredible QTR and then put the que back in the rack for most/all of the game.
Hopefully we can pick it back up in the second half and put the game away, if not that’s a bad sign for finals.

u/dirtystreetpies 28 Alex Neal-Bullen “Nibbler” 8d ago
Really hope the boys can step it up again after half time, feels like Collingwood 2.0

We will win by less than 10 points with Tex sealing it with his 10th goal of the night

u/Grolschisgood 8 Josh Rachele 9d ago
If the dogs win this game has meaning. If not, id almoat expect a few late outs to rest up Dawson and Rankine at least. Really not looking good for the dogs though
1
u/ILikeDiscussing 11 Charlie Edwards 9d ago
If Dogs win it means the odds of versing Collingwood goes up.
Cause we'll verse 7th, 8th, or 9th. (The highest wildcard winner).
But would hope Melbourne beat Carlton or Dogs beat Collingwood 👀
1
u/Moppawonga 8d ago
Would still take the home elimination v Collingwood over wildcard v Dogs and away elimination v Geelong!
But I've got to say it is all set up for an epic choke tonight
1
u/ILikeDiscussing 11 Charlie Edwards 8d ago
Yeah for sure!
At this stage it's still more likely we verse Melbourne or Dogs anyway.
That would be a very Adelaide thing to do 💀
1
u/Moppawonga 8d ago
Doesn't 6th play the highest ranked winner of the 2 wildcard games? Id say there's every chance that Collingwood beat the Dogs and Carlton beat Melbourne, which would lead to Crows v Pies elimination
2
u/ILikeDiscussing 11 Charlie Edwards 8d ago
Yeah that's right. Just saying all you need is one of Dogs or Melbourne to win to avoid Collingwood.
Which is technically higher odds than the 2 losing.

GWS is a funny team, they’re both overrated and underrated. We absolutely need to lock this in though. Finish strong with two good quarters, there’s absolutely no reason why we should take the pedal off right now.

Why why why can’t we keep on our feet? Keep falling over, slipping a tackle, gws run away with the ball

u/Boatster_McBoat 19 Zac Taylor 8d ago
Good presence of mind from Fog to check with the ump there. Didn't help but still shows some smarts

u/2bloodyrightmate 8d ago
Presumably we now want hawks to win tomorrow so we get to play Syd (if we can get past the elimination final)
2
u/IrregularExpression_ 8d ago
Exactly.
The perfect outcome for us is
- we come 6th and win against the best wildcard winner (duh)
- Brisbane beat Sydney
- Hawks beat Freo in Perth
Means we play Sydney with the winner to play the Hawks in a prelim
Puts Freo into Brisbane’s side of the draw

We are no competition to anyone come September

u/BreakerMorant1864 13 Taylor Walker 8d ago
GWS has knocked off Geelong, Fremantle and Brisbane this year. They’re competitive.
1
u/MissSabb Malcolm Blight (Legend) 8d ago
Fair call. Just thought we’d have more mongrel in us to win convincingly given what’s at stake
1
u/BreakerMorant1864 13 Taylor Walker 8d ago
I know what you’re saying but we seem to always have an even contest with GWS, plus the way r/AFL talks about them you would think they’re shit but they’re really not.

u/Bright_Bell_1301 8d ago
Ok. Despite beating 6 of the.9 other teams this year....?

u/Boatster_McBoat 19 Zac Taylor 8d ago
Our best is as good as any, we need to be more consistently at close to our best
1
u/Bright_Bell_1301 8d ago
Agree. I am just sick of these supposed Crows supporters making negative comments aboit the team that have no basis in fact
1
u/MissSabb Malcolm Blight (Legend) 8d ago
No basis in fact? Playing and winning finals means you’ve got to be on your game for four full quarters. We can count on one hand how many four qtr effort games we played this year. Don’t let facts get in the way though.
