AFL 2017 - Prelim - Adelaide v Geelong, Adelaide Oval, Fri 22/9, 7.20pm ACST

[Strapping Young Lad]

At the end of the day, 14 other clubs haven't achieved what Geelong has this year. So best to keep that in mind when mouthing off.

Do they get a special cup for being bundled out in the Prelim?

No, but the posters full of TPS should just remind themselves of where they finished, including Hawthorn fans.

Yeah, good one mate. They didn't achieve anything more than 16 other sides will have from 2017.

If topping up to finish top 4, but never really be a threat to winning a flag is an achievement in your eyes then you're easily pleased.

 

[Johnny_Dogg4]

congrats to the crows, and good luck for next week

cats are the arsenal of AFL

You're underestimating Adelaide. You've also been sucked into the PD hype that he can do anything anywhere.

No, I'm talking about a side who don't have a thick enough spread of talent across their 22.

And I haven't been sucked into any hype around Dangerfield, believe me.

 

[snakebite01]

My logic and argument would have applied to any player.

Just hate seeing inconsistencies in application of the rules. The afl is the worst officiated league in the world

So I'm guessing you must've thought Ollie Wines should have got 3-4 weeks for his deliberate, late, head high hit against Collingwood this year. Thought not.

Get a grip, it was a footy collision, which Sloane also went flying backwards in.

But few will. The Vultures are always out.

But few will. The Vultures are always out.

Some are even Moderators

 

[lethalselbow]

Insipid by the Cats. 8 losses out of 11 points at a problem with players and coach. Good year, though, but we all know what they generally serve up in finals now.

 

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

Crows are not winning a GF at the G anyway.

False hope only.

Is it hard walking around with that massive chip on your shoulder?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Some are even Moderators

Moderators with opinions are the worst.

 

[Mego Red]

Crows far too good but i'll be supporting Richmond if they get though. Adelaide culture of being total ****heads towards opposition fans needs to change.

Didn't Geelong supporters complain to the league about how rude the Richmond supporters were to them two weeks ago?

 

[Gavin Excell]

Moderators with opinions are the worst.

I do acknowledge your consistency though

You know.where you stand with Abasi

Fair points.

At start of the year thought team was a 5th -8th sort of side. Next year see in same boat. Not sure where lies the improvement to take the big next step

 

[The Gong]

Congrats Crows. Very deserving of a spot in the big dance. Playing a great brand of footy.

Didn't Gil come out yesterday and say it was investigated but there was nothing to it?

A few more games at your home ground the MCG might help.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

I always find Victorian fans complaining about treatment at Adelaide Oval amusing, it's like you are all angels towards us at games over there.

 

[Roobs321]

Much respect to Rory Sloane last night. He really puts his body through carnage, week after week.

 

[Satan]

Moderators with dog in the fight are the worst.

Efa
can I say that

Was a good season and you guys finished higher than you'd probably expect.

To be honest, it's one of those seasons where there aren't too many stand out sides.

Maybe topping up with players from other sides isn't the way to go in 2018.

 

[demondavey]

Some are even Moderators

Which makes it worse. You think they'd have the maturity to set a minimum social standard.

 

[Glenno23]

I really enjoyed that contest. well done crows and good luck next week!

Contest? What Prelim did you watch?

Cats were never in it after our ferocious start

Was joyous to be there

No, they don't, but I can tell you right now without PD they aren't making a PF two years in a row. And if you haven't been sucked in because you've got your Hawthorn blinkers then you probably should, he is an outright gun.
