2017 Non Crows AFL Discussion Thread - Part IV A New Hope

[32Crow]

They wouldn't be missing a final.

Resting means players with niggles miss.

what? no one said they're out for any finals
players missing vs West Coast are not being "rested", would've played if fit to play, end of story

 

[Thommo#21]

No one really cares who we get in the first week do we?

Nope

 

[hey shorty]

what? no one said they're out for any finals
players missing vs West Coast are not being "rested", would've played if fit to play, end of story

They ARE being rested. If tomorrow was a final they'd play

 

[GreyCrow]

Imagine if we choked and lost to Port, one of the worst ever top 4 teams, in the qualifier

We're the only team to have never made the Grand Final after finishing in the top 2 at least 3 times (0-3). Port 2-2.

We've got to make history this year.

You know, deep down, that no matter how much better we are than Port, we're still a chance to choke the living daylights out of a final in the most embarrassing display of all time

 

[The Karma Bus]

I don't think Richmond will lose anyway.
They're a different team now.
Been surprised and impressed with them this year.

 

[Paladin]

Marshall already much better forward than Trengove.

"Oh no, our finals opponents will be good teams"

Jesus H Christ. Toughen up you lot.

My biggest fear is not good teams, but those who have fluked their way there

Yep, just a coincidence that now it's a dead rubber and top two was guaranteed that three players are suddenly out with 'one week' injuries

 

[32Crow]

They ARE being rested. If tomorrow was a final they'd play

except tomorrow is NOT a final

 

[Scorpus]

Then it's our fault and we have to own being shit.

Ridiculous thought process.

Of course. We'll have to own it being our fault. Just like with any other loss considering we can beat anyone this season

 

[32Crow]

Yep, just a coincidence that now it's a dead rubber and top two was guaranteed that three players are suddenly out with 'one week' injuries

both players movement was limited vs Sydney

 

[Squiba]

Marshall already much better forward than Trengove.

Looks like a Tom Lynch (Adelaide) type. Not going to be a hulking key fwd, but a good cog if he develops alright.

 

[hey shorty]

except tomorrow is NOT a final

So they are being rested for them.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

both players movement was limited vs Sydney

That's why they're being rested

Agree. Also St Kilda are 0 from 1 at the G this year. Has to count for something that they never play there.

 

[footy4ever]

Minor premiers biatches!

Because we're the best team in the AFL.

I don't give a flying anything about the result tomorrow as long as we win the following three!

Bring on any team.

 

[robboaustralia]

I thought some posters were saying Wingard was injured with an ankle?

Seems to have made a miraculous recovery.

Dangerfieldesque recovery

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Can the Saints sneak in?

 

[Paladin]

what? no one said they're out for any finals

Bzzz wrong. If it was a final tomorrow all would play.

 

[Doctor B]

While I want to play Port in the first final I don't want to compete with their 15 paying members for my seats at the Adelaide Oval!

 

[Scorpus]

Can the Saints sneak in?

Only if Essendon and West Coast lose

 

[Huntercrow]

Well Done Crows. You lead most of the season. No question the best team during the minor round. The Vic media probably will show little respect but really looking at the opposition including Sydney we are fully deserving of going all the way. Still much to do but the club has positioned itself beautifully. just got to finish it off.

 

[Geoffa32]

Am I correct in saying that if Richmond lose we most likely won't meet Sydney till GF day?

 

[hey shorty]

Can the Saints sneak in?

They'd need to win by more than Port.

 

[GameofSloanes]

"Oh no, our finals opponents will be good teams"
