AFLW 2018 - go you Crow girls!

[John Who]

we played 5 finals in 98??

It was a different Finals system back then. I'm pretty sure though we lost the first Finals game, and then winning 4 after.

It was..... but we still only played 4 finals

I just checked it up, and I stand corrected.
we played 4 consecutive interstate games, that was where I remember the number 4.
We lost first game to Melbourne, then won Sydney, Bulldogs, to then beat North in the GF.

It was funny cause Melbourne were all utensil a hoop after thrashing our arses only to be eliminated before our next match.

played 5 consecutive interstate games with rnd 23 being in Perth


We won four finals in 1997 - first team to do it (and only team until Western Bulldogs 2016)

No they played the prelim against North Melbourne

 

[WetCrow1991]

No they played the prelim against North Melbourne

Yeah, so eliminated before next match.

 

[Huntercrow]

No they played the prelim against North Melbourne

Haha. Yeah thanks for wrecking my story with facts.

 

[cmndstab]

Gee, it's turned into an exciting finish to the season. Hard to believe the Lions are still a reasonable chance to make it!

Anything other than a draw tomorrow, please. Then we just need a win against Collingwood in the last round to earn a spot in the GF... sounds familiar!

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Seems to me that we need to beat Collingwood by about 9 goals to finish in 2nd spot.

No, that would only be the case if the bulldogs and Melbourne draw.

 

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

Yeah, so eliminated before next match.

Nope, our next match was a semi against Sydney.

Your calculations are wrong.

We played 5 consecutive away games if you include the last round where we beat West Coast in Perth.

yes - I deleted my statement - I forgot we get 4 premiership points if we win

Lol. We played Melbourne in the first final and lost. Travelled to Sydney where we won an then the dogs in the prelim onto the kangas on the Gf. That’s 4 finals

I already corrected myself in the response near the top of this page.
The system was different because there was a second chance to the 5th and 6th position team, if they had lost. Then we won 3 consecutive games, just a slight memory glitch on my part.

 

[Dc9798]

You’re calling the draw hey.

It isn't that hard to understand. They were knocked out before their next opportunity to play us. Jesus Christ.

 

[GreyCrow]

I'm not sure if its a good thing or bad thing that I cant remember

 

[Roovolution]

I did the same. Pretty obvious who the posters are who don’t really follow the women’s game lol

 

[radiojake]

I'll be at Whitten Oval tonight barracking for a winner- if it looks like they are colluding for a draw I'll be on the boundry line letting them know that I'm onto them and they better stop it

Who would have thought that after our first two games & then that Draw ......everyone said that draw was the death knock to our season

The standard of the competition has jumped again this year .......just wish the season was longer ....maybe a 10 game season next year, with the introduction of more clubs ??

 

[boffo]

To all you cynics who think 2 Victorian teams would settle for a draw so they both make the final, remember the final round in 2008?

The Crows were in fourth position, only a 100 point win to st Kilda would deny us a home final. So what happened?

A 108-point win by St Kilda over Essendon the next day saw the Saints overtake Adelaide on percentage; the Crows fell to fifth, costing them a double-chance and sending them into a sudden death Elimination Final against eighth-placed Collingwood at AAMI Stadium.

We just better hope scores aren't level with 5 mins to go, then watch them settle for a draw.

Reckon it’s quite stupid how short the season is. Not even half the length of the men’s season.

 

[radiojake]

Melbourne wont want a draw cos we could still pass them in the unlikely event of a 40 pt win tomorrow -

You dont risk that stuff
