I haven’t watched it again so I may be wrong, but I don’t buy we were very good in the first.

We were efficient in scoring but my memory was Richmond seemed to be on top around the ground.
I wouldnt watch it again.

We were super efficient yes, but our midfielders were running on top of the ground and our defence was on fire.

I am 100% convinced Tex and the boys had overdosed on Koolaid and bathwater leading up to that game and thought all they had to do was rock up and take the cup.

Also believe Pyke knows the mindset of the team is a bit like that and the Stance and Mindfulness training is about eradicating that attitude from our playing group.

I agree we didn't turn up, but mindfulness training is the new black

What the **** do his hand signals mean???
He screeched "zero, one" or the other way around, not sure, in answer to the Crows 5-0 win loss record of the last 5 showdowns.

So Ken's on a winning streak of one in a row. Ha ha ha the tosser.

What killed us was that we kicked 1.8 for the next two quarters. Had we kicked instead 6.3 we would have been still in the game at 3/4 time.

We were down by almost 6 goals at 3/4 time. All Tigers really needed to do was kick a couple of goals to win the game from that stage. Anyways the players were genuinely shot before the gf in any case. They simply didnt rock up.
Between the Geelong win and the GF they were shot?

They've invented a small marquee that can seat 5000 people
Closer to 7,000 if the attendance figures are to be believed.

Either that, or they were counting "per head", and the Chinese are even worse than the infamous two-headed Tasmanians.

IMO, we did turn up and were switched on at the start to get to a lead but then there was a momentum change and the Tigs started to work harder.

I get the feeling that when an opposition team increase their intensity and has a run on, Crows often had a habit of bunkering down and trying to weather the opposition's increased intensity (rather than matching the intensity) before changing the momentum later when and wait for the oppostion's intensity to drop back a little before coming back over the opposition. Except this time it is the GF and the Tigs didn't let their intensity drop (plus other factors like the Umps and maybe internal rumblings) and we just couldn't get back in.

I have no idea but seems to me someone in the crowd must have been giving him the 0-5 hand signal so after the game he gave them a 0-1

Childish reaction

1 Coke Zero in the first quarter, then switched to 5 red cans of Coke for the remaining 3 quarters
