AFL 2017 First Qualifying Final, Adelaide v Greater Western Sydney, 19:20 ACST : Adelaide Oval

[The King!]

Crows resilience and team work tonight has been *en awesome

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

They have a good culture in the club and play for one another. They are playing for Walsh.

GWS are playing for their future trade prospects. Plastics.

Yeah, there's no synergy at all with the Giants - playing like a bunch of individuals tonight.

 

[Jars458]

Missing in action: Greene, Patton, Deledio, Mumford.

Cameron?

 

[Mattdougie]

Crows far too good

Look certainties to make the GF

Been the best team all year so fair play to them even if I can't stand most of their supporters

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Swans will flog Giants you'd think.

Swans play the loser of tomorrows match don't they?

 

[LordLucifer]

Jeremy Cameron done for the night, hamstring injury.

Done for the rest of the finals ???

If so, that will really hurt the Giants campaign ...... what's left of it.

 

[hippyhippy]

Definitely but the Crows midfield still isnt that great ON PAPER...however the whole team is playing with good spirit and synergy and everyone knows their role which makes up for a less talented midfield. GWS has a superstar midfield but they've gone missing tonight and look very individualistic.

Any crows midfielder is a walk up start in carltons...

 

[Sedat!]

GWS playing like what they are, a side with lots of great players, but they aren't a team, too many play for themselves not enough play for each other.

They have been imposters all season. A few very arsey wins masked the true extent of their problems but there's nowhere to hide in September.

 

[gordo2016]

Where are Bokonen Ichinoodle and general?

They are generally quite chirpy in these threads but missing tonight

I wonder why? I'd like to hear their opinions on how they are going

They are busy ringing up "rent a crowd," attempting to bring in a few fans for GWS next week in the game at Shitless Stadium.

Betts stopped following his man and spent 5 seconds or so in the protected zone before play on was called. In what way isn't that 50 meter penalty?

I watched the replay 3 times and dont hear play on until Betts has already started tackling.

I disagree. He switched which player he was following, Lobb took off and you can clearly see on the video the umpires arms in the air BEFORE Betts lays the tackle. Doesn't matter what you can hear, on one angle (think it was the one from behind the goals) the umpires arms are up.

Chill man. Calling out individual posters when every club except Essendon have certain types ain't cool.

Haha, I just posted this:

So yeah, agree entirely.

Season ending. Between him and Brodie Smith, there'll be some tears shed if their teams go all the way.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Nick Holland hasn't aged.

 

[Boxhead_31]

 

[Rod Stroker]

BT already writing Cameron off for the year.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Cameron?

He's injured.

 

[thebarry111]

But the ball is within 5m when he does it

So was the ball then. It was actually a terrible call umpire said he went front on but reality was he was the one running with the flight of the ball. Terrible call and umpire got it wrong.

 

[Ancient Tiger]

General Giant at the game too?

That makes me sooooooo happy!

 

[The Joker]

This will be smashing from here...

 

[aCunningPlan]

Swans play the loser of tomorrows match don't they?

Yep. Giants will play the winner of Port and West Coast. I honestly think Port firing on all cylinders can roll the Giants, particularly with these injuries GWS have.

 

[Mattdougie]

Sorry but they have trolled every dog thread from the start of the year from first siren to last

I'm only asking them what the think coz they are generally so chirpy so where are they tonight?

You give it you have to cop it do you not? And I in no way am insulting them I'm simply asking what they think

Bugger. Much as I hate him you want big players playing in September.

 

[HBF]

What a let down of a first final.
