Autopsy AFL 2025 First Qualifying Final - Crows v Pies Thursday Sept 4th 7:40pm AEST/7:10pm CST (AO)

[YeoShuey]

Even Melbourne broke them open late last Friday, and it was only due to their incompetence/an inability to put them to the sword that cost them the game.

I'll be surprised if the Crows allow anywhere near 71 inside 50s again. Keep that stat even I don't even think it'll be close. If they haven't learnt maybe they deserve to lose though.

You conveniently forgot to mention that Melbourne are another team who mostly come closs with them. It is not that they "broke them open", it's that they are a real competitive matchup.

Going to be a very hostile atmosphere for Collingwood, Adelaide expected to come out firing.

Crows on form, by 18 points

Does either team score 10 goals next week? It's going to be a defensive slugfest that'll make Ross Lyon weep tears of joy.

you say on form yet they barely beat the Eagles and North Melbourne

Adelaide hasnt lost a game since round 14, I'd suggest that shows very good form when statistically you would expect to drop a game here or there. Collingood in comparison has won 5 since their bye.

How Adelaide responds on the field in light of recent events and Rankine's suspension, we will have to wait and see.

Karma will strike the crows this time.

Yep Adelaide oval full of the type of Crow fans that love going to away showdowns. Going to be awesome.

Hope the Crows don’t shit the bed…

i hope so too. lol

 

[Cyclonus]

I had a dream last night that the Crows lost 68 to 163. Woke up feeling kinda sad haha

 

[EagleMan87]

Where did I say it was relevant to this game?

Don't get yourself so worked up about it.

Pretty sure he's the "Roight in front of ME" guy.

Collingwood by 13. Adelaide raw on finals experience and Collingwood have the finals ready players. Crows will bounce back in the SF you’d think but won’t be winning this one.

The finals experience thing is interesting. Our Collingwood game 2 weeks ago was most definitely finals-like pressure. Hawthorn 2 weeks before was, also. We came back from being 5 goals down at 3/4 time in both of them. We’re hardened more than many understand. We’ll be fine from that perspective. Our crowd will be feral, whether that’s a good or bad thing, who knows. But the home crowd advantage this time will absolutely have an impact.

Pretty sure he isn’t!

I wonder if much will change with Rankine out and a potential Bobby Hill return.

I reckon

Read the Collingwood board. Hill will not play again this year for many reasons.

No thanks. I'll stick to verified reporters.

Reports today suggest he may return for finals. Unlikely but possible

Karma would mean a Crows win as we are well behind...

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

I think people are worried the Crows might tank it for Rankine, even though they probably won't & that would be stupid if they tried to do that imo... but with that fact the Pies have a pretty good record at AO.

No chance Crows would tank a final.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

The only acting was from Rankine and he was fined for it.
He needs to get that out of his game, I doubt we will see him do it this game

Lol, Rankine has nothing on Daicos in the acting stakes...

 

[PCORF]

No chance Crows would tank a final.

Both teams want to win it so no tanking here.

 

[GETSOMENUTS]

Will be a good game, not sure if my heart is up for it
If the stats are anything like last time with the discrepancy in the amount of inside 50s going Collingwoods way, pies will win by 4 or 5 goals. Lightning isnt striking twice for the crows there.
