Didnt see one of these on your board, so i thought id start it.
Congratulations on a gutsy win tonight. Good teams win those games, and you guys did, its another tick on the checklist of qualities premiership teams have.
Im pretty shattered at losing it like that, but it was always a tense, close, quality game of football.
Well done on the win, and good luck until next time we meet

Too sporting, stop that now!
Your boys will be spitting chips after leading most of the night.
Bock was very smart with his play on Buddy, made sure every ball was a contest and given the average delivery last night never gave Buddy any space. Having said all that he could have easily kicked a couple more goals...Freak.
I didn't beleive we would win until the bell went.

Thank you, Southerntakeover, for your graciousness. It must be a gut wrenching result for you and your fellow Crows supporters after having the lead for much of the play.
You have a very good quality side which makes our win all that special, in particular, that it was played on your paddocak.
Good luck for the rest of the season.

Nicely said, Southern.
It was a game well worth watching, for mine.
A really brute of a result, from your perspective, but your boys are still well ahead on points with what they've done to us over the years...

Congratulations lads. Im devestated but you guys were the better side and deserved to win. I thought with the great players you had out and with Chance going down early if we were ever going to beat your club last night was the night. But, the cream rose to the top and you guys only needed a sniff where we werent good enough to take our chances. I have no doubt after seeing a depleted Hawks outfit and withoutBuddy being his usual dominant self defeat us that you are the best team in the league. All the best:thumbsu:

Adelaide supporters are a pretty classy bunch in general on this site.:thumbsu: Fair play to ya's.
Well played Crows, definitely unlucky to lose this one but we'll take it and make off like bandits.

I think its good that the majority of Hawks can enjoy a friendly rivalry with the opposition but be gracious in defeat and humble in winning. Good show IMO.
Each to their own I suppose!

Well after having the ascendancy all night in terms of the general flow of the game it was very hard to stomach a loss but bad kicking is bad football, and when it counted it was Hodge who stepped up and showed his class. You guys will certainly be around the mark so long as you can keep Hodge and Franklin healthy. :thumbsu:
It's a pity the crows players aren't as gracious in defeat as their supporters. I nearly choked on my milo this morning when I heard Bernie Vince on the radio say the Hawks were lucky to be in front when the siren went.
Luck my F#$king ass!

I wouldnt take too much from that.
The crows under Craig have held that there is an element of luck involved in all close games.
I doubt he was trying to denigrate your efforts.

As ST said I wouldn't take that the wrong way. I'm sure if you asked Vince why Adelaide didn't win, he would say it was because they weren't good enough to capitalise on their opportunities and your mob was.

Thanks for the kind words guys, however, I must say I am completely and utterly over the moon for the few Hawk supporters who live over your way whom enjoyed their first taste of victory in 14 years.
Would be great to be a Hawk in an Adelaide office today and finally have some bragging rights.

I am and they have all been very gracious in defeat.:thumbsu:
Went to the game and enjoyed it. As usual, they make it as unfriendly as possible for opposition supporters eg showing only Crow goals at the breaks, Crow crowd interviews etc. Does Hawthorn do that to them in Melbourne/ Tassie? I don't remember it if so.

not that i have noticed if games are here i am sure you see bits of both sides but will endeavor to take more notice in future out of interest there usually show a game between the two teams before the game [at the ground not sure on tv though]

I'd also like to thank Hodge for not killing Richard Douglas when he had the chance; could've quite easily smashed him, but had enough class not to.
Bloody good game from your mob; shattered we lost, but it was great footy to watch.
I rate your mob more than Geelong.

Too bad Buddy didn't have a bit more common sense.
Gained a lotta respect for Adelaide supporters on this board, not that it wan't there already.
Great game you guys were tough and would have been proud of our boys if the result was reversed.
