Game Day QF1 Crows vs Pies 2025-09-04 - This time it's personal!

[TubbsFarquhar]

Adelaide to make the final the hard way. Rankine returns to kick the winner against Collingwood.

Nah, we're Brisbane 2019. Not ready for the finals and will go out in straight sets.

 

[BRL121]

Not good enough. End of story.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

What a shit post

You don't reply to it. Shit now I've replied to the reply.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Dude. That's on the players.

Uh huh.


So what does his money earn?

There's some silliness going on in this thread. I understand it's disappointing but we came from 15th to be here, and it was always going to be tough. Not getting there in our first final is not a disaster.

We came from 15th because we underachieved the last two seasons, we should've had a couple of finals games under our belt now we are challenging - instead they served up this shit tonight.

You can’t tell me Nicks game plan was keep bombing it long with no composure despite Collingwood having the most ever intercept marks in the first half.

 

[Mattrox]

Daicos should get a game for swearinf on TV

 

[MRB37]

I just don't understand why we set up the way we did. Pies clearly want the numbers back, so we allow them to dictate out entries all game.

 

[GrommoT]

F-bombed!

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I still don't think we win that game with Rankine. Too many empty jumpers.

 

[Billy Cart]

Not sure what was worse the way we played or the morons booing in the crowd.
Embarrassing on both front to be a crows fan after that.

I dont comment much but this post is moronic.

McRae owned Nicks.

It was probably not for the midfield to get absolutely fried. Our players made terrible decisions even when under no pressure.

 

[ams4crows]

Just disappointed, bemused at the fact we couldn't move the ball or score

 

[rocket18]

Dude. That's on the players.

Nicks was so out coached.

 

[Scorpus]

hahahahahahahahaha


So reactionary. Players shitting their oants and blames the coach.

He played 9 defenders and stuffed our structure for no reason.

Nicks is massively to blame.

 

[Cyclonus]

I'm surprised at how I feel, I'm not really upset. I think I knew the team wasn't ready. Hopefully this year will be a learning experience to propel a push for the next few years.

 

[Mattrox]

Uh huh.

15th to minor premiers.

Your Nicks hate is blinding you. Thilly shot the bed 3 times that cost us dearly. Nicks can't stop that.

Thilly wasn't Robinson Crusoe either.


It all smacks of finals inexperience. The boys will be hungry.

They played below par. But its not the end of the world.

 

[mcleod at 50 lines it up]

Crows played like a fiddle like usual. Quaynor not booed loud enough the pies knew exactly what they were doing with rankine

 

[BRL121]

It's more than one player, but gee, Dawson had an awful game tonight. I was expecting much more.

 

[bates121]

Prob should just stick to not commenting.
Supporting homophobia sure is a thing.

 

[crowker]

Hopefully , this was the game we needed to lose and a wake up call to the majority of the team
as to what level is required at the pointy end.
We were like rabbits in the spotlight all night.
Do we point the finger at the coach, or just a bunch of lads who were seeing their spot in the big dance as a given.
Hard not to think this was not on the coaching and staff and not having the boys menatally prepared or having a plan B.
Collingwood out played us ,out grunted us and basically wanted to win more.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Dude. That's on the players.

The players were definitely to blame but that was by far the shittest coaching display I have seen Nicks and Co produce. And yes Davis is just as much to blame. By far out coached and to not direct players to go through Moores opponent is just an example of the outright ineptness of Nicks as a strategist. An u12 coach can tell the best way to stop a player intercepting everything is to make them accountable. McRae got away with coaching 101 and thats embarressing for Nicks and Davis. ****ing deplorable.

Of course it was, we did it the first half and turned around and did the same in the second half.

 

[Mattrox]

Nicks is massively to blame.

On the ground players made massive mistakes they don't usually do. Minus those errors we are in it up to our eyeballs.

Picking Draper for midfield does nothing given all the mistakes we made.
