Autopsy AFL 2025 Semi Final - Crows v Hawks Fri Sept 12th 7:40pm EST/7:10pm CST (AO)

[Handsuper47]

they just said Crows didn't win a quarter in the finals

Apparently the last team to go out in straight sets as a minor premier was North in 1983, and I just checked they even won two quarters. Crows not only didn't win any they were also goalless in two of them.

. Six finals losses in a row, three straight sets exits in a row. Poor guy

 

[Dewyyyyy]

It will get lost.

Sensational season from Adelaide despite their finals exit.

 

[aCunningPlan]

The Crows just lost all composure. The sad thing is they had their chances but at crucial times just sprayed them. Second to the ball far too often and just overawed.

Just shows that the season is about banking wins and priming yourself to be at full strength come September.

 

[Humblebob]

I’m going to lie in the dark and listen to 5AA like a true degenerate.

- awarded to the player that best embodies the spirit of emulating a ghost during finals

I will have permanent trauma if Hawthorn beat us next week.

And since I'll happily admit that, I'll also point that I reckon we have them covered quite comfortably.

But it's going to be excruciating.

 

[smeggaz]

Dear remaining finals teams.

Please turn up, ready to play finals quality footy.

Regards, all neutrals.

 

[Mr Meow]

Wardy was unreal tonight
31 disp 14 contested possessions 7 intercepts
7 score inv 5 clearances
4 tackles 6 inside 50s

Hopefully 90% of Hawks supporters stop banging on about their weak midfield now. Newcombe back to career best form, Ward starring and Nash + Worpel as hard nuts who work both ways. Even without Day it's not a bad midfield at all.

 

[Xtreme]

Better hope you don't play Collingwood if you win against Geelong as you are due for a loss in your WLWLW pattern

Maybe so but we also have an advantage - being Collingwood having their Collywobbles especially during grand finals!

 

[Rod Stroker]

Every single game has been decent.

Just because you don't like the result doesn't make them non decent

only 1 game got me off my seat. the other 3, the result was evident well before the final siren

 

[MasterSamurai]

Hello Geelong, my old friend.

just installed the app lols

 

[Veer Right]

Walker is 35 and playing like that, come on now. Hang up the boots. It's over.

1.7 goals and 1.0 goal assist per game.

Shit delivery didn't help his cause. Yes i know he turns like the titanic.

 

[joe444]

Hello Geelong, my old friend.

Yeah, here we bloody go again.

Kane was right 3 talls in the finals doesn’t work.

 

[Elixuh]

People calling in and trolling Rowey and he doesn’t realise. This is going well.

I’d still say it’s a weak point, needs another piece to lock in premiership favouritism.

Day being unfit for a lot of recent time hurts.

 

[JasRulz63]

Shades of Brisbane 2019. Came from nowhere to make the top 4 then bombed out in straight sets.

 

[SA HAWK]

It will get lost.

Sensational season from Adelaide despite their finals exit.

They will be thereabouts for a while just need to improve the midfield.

Colliwobbles are long gone stremy

 

[Elixuh]

Rowey is fighting callers now. YES!

Sensational season from Adelaide despite their finals exit.

There are a lot of people going into meltdown getting carried away with this meaningless record.

We also had the best single season rise in a long time too.

Positive progress this season. Plenty to work on but this isn't the apocalypse.
