You know 12 Crows players were not born when we lost in 2002 right?

Probably ok to let the trauma of that one go.

Plus it was playing for the right to be destroyed by Brisbane the next week (Collingwood actually made a go of it).

 

[WheresGroomgone]

Is anyone in Adelaide?

desperately trying to get there my flights been delayed twice.....agghhhhhh!

 

[crows dude]

Is it Game time yet??

 

[WetCrow1991]

The team needs to focus on the football. The Crowd can focus on the hostility.

I'm giving back the hostility the city of Melbourne gave for the 2017 Grand Final.

Are the Collingwood players in your waiting lounge?

 

[Crow_Magnon]

Its in Portugal lol. Europe. haha.

Terrible about the funicular in Lisbon....we were contemplating going on that around this time last year, but too many folks were lined up, so we decided to hike our way up instead....sheesh!

 

[FR0GGY]

Really weird selection call from them. It would be like if we still had Jake Kelly on the list and we decided to play him instead of Michalanney

Hardly, has Jake kelly ever won a final for a team?
They’ve obviously brought him in to nullify filthy in the ruck and to try and stop our lads intercepting down back.
Neither of which mcstay was going to do.

 

[Betts are off]

I hope we actively bring Curtin into the game. Feel like clubs are already avoiding his wing lately. Including the Pies in round 23.

Its imperative that we use that unicorn throughout the finals as much as possible.

No doubt he would have benefited from the freshen up and should be flying tonight.

Should I point out the Browns have played 3 playoff games since our last Finals?

mate they got to Adelaide well before me!!
I need to deliver some KG whiting then high tail it the oval no pre drinks!!

 

[Crouch]

I just hope the umpires don't dictate the result. I can't deal with another 'Right in front of me!' moment.

 

[Zzzuuuppp]

Possibly the worst take of the year??

I mentioned this yesterday, I feel like the Tex Walker 300th is a real godsend for our players this week. Takes the edge off the nervous energy, and redirects the focus from 90% of the teams first final game, and onto playing in Tex's milestone.

In contrast the nervous energy on the Pies is probably way higher than people anticipate. They were 10 points clear the top of the ladder at round 17, and barely held onto 4th. In that run they've lost home, they've lost away, they've lost close margins and big. The seed of doubt in their minds is already firmly planted, regardless of their massive advantage in finals experience.

The 1st 5 mins is going to be very telling in terms of who's feeling the pressure the most. But something tells me, it wont be us.

If we can get a mid other than Dawson with 25+ and we break even in clearances we win by 30+. If not, we risk getting caned by inside 50's again and the Wobbles won't perform as badly as last time. Go the Crows!

 

[Jetwa5h]

Can we just Win, I don't care how just please have more points than them when the final siren goes.


Would be really nice if they were enough In front with 10 minutes to go that I won't feel like I'm having a heart attack

This .......So much this

Got a feeling it could be a Peatling game (as well as a Dawson game). In and under, 25+, multiple to high free's. Couple goals.

Soligo a vital cog, maybe more than we’ve realized.

How good

 

[ceebsaf]

this year, ive been nervous before watching all the games. for some reason im coming into this game relaxed. whatever happens, ive been proud of the crows in 2025. up the flipping crommmmmmmm

 

[ams4crows]

One of Soligo or Berry or Peatling needs a big game can't rely solely on Dawson, desperately need some one to come to the party and step up
