How many times can one team choke?

[Salopek31]

In all honesty it is beginning to get beyond a joke (or is that choke?) at the Adelaide Football Corporation.

Since Neil Craig took over the reigns in somewhat controversial circumstances the Crows have a record in big games which has to be seen to be believed.

2005 finals series - lose first final to St Kilda after finishing minor premiers, manage to miss the GF completely by the time September was done and dusted.

2006 NAB GF - a home final to a club which hadn't won silverwear of any sort for 43 years and somehow they manage to fall over at the last hurdle here.

2006 finals series - that West Coast game. 4 goals up in a home prelim final and guess what happenes? :eek:

2007 finals series - the experienced Crows are 6 goals up against a hugely inexperienced Hawthorn outfit and look headed for victory. 1 minute remains in the final term and they lead by just 3 points but Scott Thompson has the footy in the back pocket, surely they could hold on from here? No, not this team. :cool:

2008 NAB GF - another embarrassing last hurdle trip up, again at their home ground and again against a joke club. I bet Triggy is wishing he took that $500k now. :o

Is this current Crows team the biggest bunch of chokers that the game has ever seen???

[boncer34]

Dunno you guys were pretty bad for awhile there.

[LJ Garner]

against a joke club?? at least they werent 114 points down to us as u guys were to geeelong.

About the same amount of times as Power it would seem. 01, 02, 03 seem familiar?

Except we don't lose GF's by 119 points

Bit rich coming from a Power supporter, i mean really, i was certain there wouldn't be anything here from a Power supporter, i thought you would still be licking your wounds after losing a real GF by that margin

Its funny how no one says pre season is important (until you lose) and then everyone lets rip

Peri Peri Sauce, i'd quote your post but i can't be bothered...

yes, port deserved to be bagged for losing the gf by the record margin... but when will you learn that that game has absolutely f**k all to do with you losing to St Kilda, in a game where you dominated the 1st quarter and kicked 10 pts to 4pts?

[pavilion103]

Although the power has proven to choke in the past. You could hardly call the GF loss last year a choke! As 1. they were not expected to win 2. played clearly the best side in the league.

At least in 2004, they were able to redeem the past chokes of 2001,2002,2003..... what have the Crows redeemed??? nothing

the only premierships you have won are when u finished 4th and 5th and in a final series where St Kilda and the Bulldogs (what absolute powerhouses) were the best teams.... Go figure.....

[jazz]

2008 NAB GF - another embarrassing last hurdle trip up, again at their home ground and again against a joke club.

Saints with all their best players in are no joke club. They'll be well about Port if they keep their players on the park.

And how can Port supporter even mention an "embarrassing last hurdle trip up"?

I also see more people leave earlier when the team is losing. Mind you when Port lose the game is over at half time and you guys get thrashed, due to the peas sized hearts of 90% of the players. re GF.

Actually you do

P Burgoyne and C Cornes float in the backlines and rarely have a direct apponent. They are your loose guys in defence quite often. But you dont see that on the telly.


Port crowds are louder than Crows, but there is also an echo in a half filled stadium. The two NAB games with only 10K people there was quite louder than I expected, due to the echo and the acoustics of the ground.

Don't kid yourself Porps. Granted the NAB cup is not as prestigious these days compared to the last time Port won, but still, have a read of this:-

http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/3001/crowscryingbh9.jpg
"ADELAIDE is using the "devastation" of a shock loss to Geelong two years ago as motivation to win Saturday's NAB Cup grand final.

Midfielder Brent Reilly said the Crows were rocked by losing the 2006 pre-season grand final to the underdog Cats at AAMI Stadium and wanted redemption.

And he said anyone who thinks the pre-season competition counts for nothing should have witnessed the despair in the Crows changerooms when they were beaten by a late Cam Mooney goal".

You may claim they are crying, I'd say they are a little dejected, was bloody hot and they lost by a goal. Now I don't think that is reason to have a cry.


Nor do I beleive the Power had ANY right to have a cry after the GF. Why didn't they show a little heart during the game, what the hell is the use in crying AFTER a game where you got smashed. Why are you upset, you got smashed, there is no 'what if...' when you lose by that much.

When my petrol got milked out of the Commodore the other night I realized that the Crows were playing at Footy Park again. No theft at all during the off season, but come the football season and the Crows home games, I lock everything up, they steal almost anything and the mess they leave in the streets is disgusting.

hmmm just ask the the shop owners in West Lakes how many things get stollen from their shops when port are playing accross the road. I know a girl who works there and she told me that the shop owners have to be absolutely on their guard when your mob are playing at Aami

Oh well if your sisters, boyfriends dog cleaner told you then it must be true!

[relapse]

So lets get this straight a side (adelaide) who are going to finish between 9-12 in the opinion of most footy experts getting beaten by St Kilda who are rated higher and will most probably finishin the top 4 and in the preseason a choke ??

So does Port losing against Carlton in the first round at home constitute a choke as well ???

Oh well if your sisters, boyfriends dog cleaner told you then it must be true!

and if it comes from a Port supporter then it must be true :D

yeah righto....considering all the "so called" port people I know dont even attend h&a games but seem to on chorus come finals time....real passionate supporters your minnow club has:rolleyes:

as it has been said a couple of times on the AFL main board,
30,000 port adelaide supporters make 3 times as much noise as 50, 000 adelaide fans.


''so called'' huh, well if we go on bigfooty to talk about our club then i am sure that we are not so called. So called are people who are as tight as a fishes arse hole to buy tickets for the games and are to lazy to get off their arses. The point being, us pafc supporters on bigfooty are not ''so called port people''.

I love how port fans create these so called myths and the supporters continue to perpetuate them supposedly as fact.

This is just like when Port supporters claim that they wouldnt ever turn on their team when they are losing and even worse leave when they are losing :D

It all comes down to perception and because Port have a smaller crowd the number of people that dont cheer is obviously smaller than Adelaide because the crowd is far smaller whereas the percentages of who cheers and who doesnt is most probably fairly close. They then throw out comments like, but when Port have 40k it is louder when the Crows do, but this is because 40k at a Port game is usually only for a marquee match that is high stakes (finals etc) of course a prelim or something for Port the crowd would be louder than Crows V Sydney during the middle of the season.

Many people have commented that the crowd for the Adelaide prelim final against West Coast in 06 was about the loudest ever at AAMI stadium. Its the old thing of Port supporters trying to create a cop out to justify lack of success (ie you have more supporters, but our supporters are better or louder), that wont ever change with Port I have seen them try and claim that somehow their 2004 flag was a bigger achievement than the 97 and 98 flags for Adelaide. They try and tell themselves that rubbish to sleep easier at night.

who are "many people"? crows supporters? independent sound engineers with hi tech sound analysing equipment? created your own myth here buddy.

I've never claimed 97/98 are linked in any way to 04... & i certainly don't need to tell myself anything to help myself sleep easier at night, certainly not about the crows, pretty much irrelevant to my sleep.

Edited. Sounds much better now.
