Whilst I realise that it means absolutely nothing to be top of the ladder after round 1, I nevertheless point out that it is very rare for the Crows to hold top spot. I can think of only one (1) other occasion in the entire 25-year history of the Crows where the team was top at the end of a...

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/138741/default.aspx Too right. It would be nice if the AFL could get their story straight on this one. I for one would like to know how it happens that the Crows can never seem to get a holding the ball decision called in their favour...

Is 9-2 the best-ever result for the first half of a season for the Crows? I can't remember any season where the Crows were in a better position on the ladder at the half-way point.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/81481/default.aspx This incident involved Jacob Surjan and Bernie Vince. Van Berlo had nothing to do with it. If the MRP had decided to charge Van Berlo, would his defence stating that "it wasn't me" be a first at a tribunal hearing...

Very interesting ladder at the moment, incredibly congested from positions 4 through to 9. http://finalsiren.com/AFLLadder.asp There is only percentage separating these sides right now, the spread is however over 20 percantage points. Still, currently 1 percentage point represents just 10...

Carlton vs St Kilda - looks a tough ask for the Blues. Hawthorn vs Brisbane - one of them has to lose. Western Bulldogs vs Port Adelaide - Bulldogs at home would be fancied. Sydney vs Collingwood - Sydney at home might be a chance. Adelaide V Kangaroos - If the Crows can win this...

http://sportal.com.au/afl-news-display/craig-crows-still-off-the-pace-48652 Craig: Pay no attention to the Crows. Not a chance at all this season ... on the slide, a "rebuilding" year. Also rans, at the very best. A lot of things to fix, we are working on it right now as a matter of fact...

Surely after catching the ball in a rucking duel it is a free against the ruckman if he gets tackled to the ground without disposing of it? It was whenever Hudson did it when playing for the Crows anyway. And why is a push in the back not a free if it was a Crows player pushed? Red...

Despite being widely tipped to slide in 2008 because of the list being too old, the average age of the Crows playing list at 1/1/2008 will apparently be 23.6 years, which would be I'd imagine in the lower half of the 16 clubs in 2008. Retire a few older players, and pick up 7 17-year-olds as...

If Sydney lose, the Crows will finish the minor round 7th. If Sydney win, the Crows will finish 8th. Somewhat paradoxically, all Crows fans who can look at a finals schedule and the current ladder positions will be barracking intently for Sydney to win tomorrow ... a Sydney win would put the...

One of these men won't be coaching finals ... Not the greatest of calls, that one.

http://www.afl.com.au/Season2007/News/NewsArticle/tabid/208/Default.aspx?newsId=50252 Adelaide finished fourth in 1997. Finishing fourth is not "outside the top 4". It was in 1998 that Adelaide finished 5th and from there went on to win the flag from outside the top four. In 1997, Adelaide...

Is anyone reminded of the last minor round game of 1993? Adelaide had to beat the Pies to make the finals. Played Hawthorn the following week and won against all expectation. ... the rest of that finals series was a total bummer, though.

http://finalsiren.com/TeamStatsSummary.asp?SeasonID=2007&Sort=FreesFor%20Desc Strangely enough, there are a few teams where this ladder deviates markedly from the teams actual form. I suppose then in the title by my use of the word "fair" I mean to imply "significant" and not so much "just"...

Arguably, from last year's performance, it is Adelaide. Highest score, highest margin: http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_season_records Best percentage, and 2nd best points for (only 14 points shy of 1st) http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_ladder This year, Adelaide will not...

OK, it appears that Gill is possibly drafted as a replacement for Hentschel. Tippet and Campbell might have a chance to play next year. The ruck will be interesting out of Hudson, Maric & Meesen. Kinghts and Douglas will be looking to get more games. Porplyzia has staked a claim, and Vince...

You all heard him, right? He CLEARLY tipped the Eagles to win next week.

Adelaide finished second and won in week 1, surely that now means Adelaide are again the highest ranked team now? No? Yet it would seem that on BigFooty most people are tipping Sydney now, despite the fact that Adelaide have beaten Sydney in seven of their last eight games between these sides.

As one of esteemed BigFooty members would have it ... in Neil we trust.

Good game tonight. :thumbsu: Much appreciated by this Crows follower, at least. Edit: there is a thread also on the Crows board. http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=249696

Amazing, but true. There are strong signs of a West Coast comeback. Do the Crows want to be the top side, or are they better off if West Coast pull off a great comeback win two weeks in succession?

Hopefully should be OK now up to round 11 (half way point). R7 Kangaroos vs. Adelaide R8 Richmond vs. Adelaide R9 Adelaide vs. Carlton R10 Adelaide vs. Essendon R11 Brisbane Lions vs. Adelaide

It seems McLeod got hit by a Carr, he was down for a while. Yet the only one to get reported from the game is Burton for retaliation. How does that work, umpires? :confused:

Eagles too good for the Crows in the third quarter. Not an unreasonable effort to come back a bit in the last by the Crows, and wasted some opportunities early in the last - but overall West Coast deserved the win. I am a bit disappointed in the end, but I am being unreasonable I suppose...

What is the score so far in those? 7-2 to the non-Vic sides or something, isn't it?

It is choke, people, CHOKE !! Like COKE but with an H. You add "rs" on the end and you get CHOKERS.

Looks like they might need to tonight. http://mirror.bom.gov.au/products/IDR462.loop.shtml It has been raining for most of the day in Adelaide.
