See this is what i don't get, Victorian media aren't allowed to talk up the victorian team, but south australian media is allowed to talk up the south australian team.

Trust me, vic media think adelaide will win but they want us to win. We're also allowed to be parochial you know!
But, but, but VFL #vicbias

Sh**ing me a bit people saying the crows have clearly been the best team all year , yes they finished on top but were even on pts with the cats & only 2 pts ahead of us. Not exactly miles ahead of everyone

If it wasn't for the Bolton goal review we would have finished on top

Listening to SEN today and according to Luffy we have been the best performed team over the last 8 weeks of the home and away season.. Went something like
Best defensive team in the comp averaging 63 points against
Highest percentage of all 18 teams -153% compared to the Crows 137%
Highest rated team for defensive pressure/acts

All the best for Saturday. I am completely biased but in a 2 horse race anyone can win. If it happens I will be shattered for my club. But some part of me will be ok with it as your team and you supporters will also break the drought.

To be frank, I never expected for us to get this far and thought that next year would be the year. I thought we still needed a plan that could work and I reckon we let ourselves down for a couple of seasons trying to emulate successful teams, rather than develop our own plan- which we've ended up doing this year. And by good luck or by good design we've managed to put together a plan that other teams are struggling to combat. Teams (meaning: Adelaide) trying to hold our forwards have to do more than just that- now they also have to break away from our forwards cleanly, and for the second half of the season we've made that very hard for the opposition.
The plan has gradually locked together.
If we can do that, the Crows might find themselves in unfamiliar territory so as long as we can stop them getting out clean, or try not to give them too many behinds to kick in from, I think we can wear them down. and if they cant shake us free, I think they'll run out of ideas.
So what did the Pies do so well to get 50 points up at half time in Round 19?
Or were Adelaide just in cruise control (i.e. poor, lazy, then pulled their fingers out) ?

I broke a tv remote went mental lucky the dog wasn’t in the house at the time. Then I saw the replay and felt like a total campaigner the way I carried on

The freo game I was at the pub because I couldn’t get to the game and there was only such much I could carry on given I was in a public place. Was ******* seething though took me a week to get over it
