How Crow Can You Go? An Adelaide Football Club Saga

[BigFrizz36]

To be honest the Crows have been pretty good. Hopefully brave in defeat.

And........
Thank you very much Eagles....

Oh yes

.They were brave but just that little bit not good enough..

Let’s hope with DeGoey back next week pies can go interstate and finish them off for us...

The results we need, and the results we want for this to happen.

Needs:
West Coast defeat Adelaide
North defeat Geelong

Want (would be preferable but not necessary):
Port beat Sydney
Freo beat St Kilda
Bulldogs defeat Essendon

However at least 1 of Port and Freo need to win.

Freo and North, you suck. Now Freo needs to win both remaining games, including beating Port in Adelaide.

North are eliminated. Now Adelaide lowest possible position is 12th.

Now to next week. Here's what we need and want for Adelaide to finish in the lowest possible position.

Round 22

Need:
Collingwood defeats Adelaide
Fremantle defeats Essendon
Port defeats North

Want:
Hawthorn defeats Gold Coast
Bulldogs defeats GWS

Crows clearly still waiting for their soft fixture to kick in.

If it wasn’t for them smashing Gold Coast twice they’d currently be 11th

 

[Opine]

I suspect this week was the last time we’ll be seeing the Crows in the 8 for some years to come.

 

[DIG]

Who?
Last year everyone knew Tom Lynch was leaving.
This year I haven't heard of any prime movers from either.

Sam Day.

He’s not worth a first round compensation but it’s the AFL and Gold Coast we’re talking here so anything’s possible...

Wait
..wut...

The thought brings tears to one's eyes.

The thought brings tears of joy to one's eyes.

All extremely likely

I must begrudgingly concede that Adelaide played very well against West Coast on the weekend, it was their best performance in a long time and I think they'll regain a bit of confidence (things like a highly-touted youngster in Fogarty having such a dominant breakout game will also give the club a bit of a boost overall).

I think if they play like that again this week they'll knock off Collingwood, who have been just going of late. We really need the Pies to step up here. COME ON COLLINGWOOD YOU CAMPAIGNERS.

Collingwood. Letting people down since their inception.

If Adelaide plays well as they did against West Coast they will win their last two games and finish in seventh unfortunately.

And with the way the 5-8 sides are travelling Crows could easily win a final.

This storyline could be a late addition.

Only their own supporters really, who will remember if they beat Adelaide this week or not?

Adelaide don’t tag, so I expect their midfield to go ballistic and win easily.

I'm just not confident.

Anyway, here is the text I just sent my Collingwood associate at work:

"It would be awesome if your completely useless football team could do the right thing this weekend but sadly that is probably beyond you."

He had no idea what I was talking about lol.

Interesting development. Draft pick for sale.

Crows open to trading earliest-ever draft pick

Adelaide holds pick No.3 in the NAB AFL Draft, but is willing to consider offers from rival clubs
