Opinion 2018 Non-Crows Discussion - Part 3: Everybody Hurts by R.E.M is our new club theme song

[Bearded Clam]

Flicking through the channels... come across the suns singing their song.. How the *?.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

I think suns were paying $126 when they were down by 6 goals in the first

 

[Scorpus]

It's amazing how many games complete nobody players Sheridan and Sutcliffe have played

 

[Iron]

That's probably the worst loss by anyone this year. Worse than port last week. Does no one want top 4?

 

[Scorpus]

And wow, Tommy Sheridan was a first round pick! You'd have to be pretty disappointed with that

 

[GROTTO]

Pendlebury bounced the ball on a pigeon

High contact, medium impact.

2 weeks min.

 

[Thegibbsgamble]

I just did the ladder predictor and we would be lucky to make the top 8 let alone the top 4

Baring the issues that screwed up our first half of the season. I expect only trouble from gws

That's five wins maybe six

We are three games from fourth.


Believe...

 

[kirky]

We control are own destiny - we play Melbourne, Port and Roos at home - we win them plus Brisbane and Carlton, we will make it. Yes, we have no margin for error, but we are a chance.

It isn’t an impossibility if we play like we did against Geelong.

We have the ability but do we have the belief.

Or more importantly, do you believe?

 

[I Lost My Keays]

If we were to make finals, we need to belt Brisbane and Carlton

 

[mistylake]

Go the Sunnies!

Why the **** are the Swans so much better away than at home? Baffling.

Maybe they’ve been training on an oval that mimics MCG dimensions. Now they can’t play their home ground.

 

[Thegibbsgamble]

This loss could well cost the Swans a top 4 spot at the end of the year.

Playing into our hands

We Finnish seventh.
Beat geelong at the g
Then play port whom lost to West coast in Perth.

Before meeting Richmond in a prelim where we get more crow supporters than the granny

 

[Bay62]

Richmond wins a flag
McKernan takes marks and kicks goals

What is happening in the world??

Now I’ve cursed the poor bugger. He’s limping off in the hands of the trainers. Torn hammy they think

Sorry Smack

I like it but....We wouldn't play Geelong at the G. We aren't Richmond.

[Crowked]

Exactly. We’d get to play at potato park instead.

 

[Brenton Davy]

Oh the irony.

All tge sponsorship in the Essendon coaches box from "Alliance Pharmacy"...

 

[NikkiNoo]

I like it but....We wouldn't play Geelong at the G. We aren't Richmond.

They would put it at the G as we have a lot of traveling fans and the afl are after maximizing their coffers. Just like they moved our final against the bulldogs from Etihad.

 

[Rotayjay]

I like it but....We wouldn't play Geelong at the G. We aren't Richmond.

Yes we would. Remember the controversy surrounding the fact that the AFL put our EF against the Bulldogs at the G instead of Docklands. The crowd turned out to be about 5,000 over Docklands' capacity, so there is no way they'd put a Crows final at Kardinia, even the renovated one.

 

[Klug]

Exactly. We’d get to play at potato park instead.

If we ever play Geel in a final in Melb, there is no chance it will ever be at Kardinia Park.

Crows v Dogs got ~55k at the G for the first week of the finals in 2015. There would be 55-60k at a Crows v Geel final, and there's no way the AFL would put that game where capacity is under 40k.

GWS are the only team that they would get a home final against in the top 8

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Looking at their run home, they might miss finals. Essendon, Collingwood, Melbourne, GWS and Hawthorn to come.

Indeed, if Cats & Hawks win they will only be a game away from dropping out of the top 8.

Probably need to win 3 of their last 5 games to guarantee making it & none of their games are a gimme. Only win 2 & they may miss on percentage.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Ross Lyon specialises in playing spuds for years.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

If we were to make finals, we need to belt Brisbane and Carlton

Belting Port would be handy too.

 

[Scorpus]

Yes we would. Remember the controversy surrounding the fact that the AFL put our EF against the Bulldogs at the G instead of Docklands. The crowd turned out to be about 5,000 over Docklands' capacity, so there is no way they'd put a Crows final at Kardinia, even the renovated one.

Wouldn't put it past the AFL to screw us and send us to Kardinia regardless

 

[Thegibbsgamble]

Exactly. We’d get to play at potato park instead.

They'd get 20 thousand of us at the g as well as at least ten thousand more geelong fans.

It won't be played anywhere else
