Just curious

Apparently the noise of affirmation only happens at interstate venues??

What about when, for example a Collingwood vs Adelaide game at the MCG with 60,000 there. Maybe 5,000 (10,000 Crows supporters attending at best) yet apparently the is noise of affirmation doesn't occur there?

Strange
Of course it happens at other venues, when the G is rocking with a packed Collingwood crowd, there is nothing better.

How does this help my team?

What I stated that I hope the umpires are not overawed by the occasion in this situation, purely because it will be of benefit to my team.
If we get a home final against an interstate team, I hope the noise of affirmation is alive and well.

Just not in this case :)

Crows by 22

Win Win scenario for Adelaide though, they win and go through to a prelim. They lose and Rankine will be available for the Gf if they go through.
No, it's a lose-lose. They lose at home without Rank but somehow will beat Brisbane or Geelong away without Rank? Aint gunna happen bud.
 
Biggest issue for the crows is their midfield. Can they get the job done. Inexperience across the board is also an issue. I think they can win and most likely will but they will need a few midfielders to step up. Collingwood will show up and have a crack but I don't know if they have the talent or cattle to get it done. The aging list is looking weary.

Our midfield is the worry for me. We look to be back to our old 4 man rotation system with Berry, Soligo, Dawson and Peatling. Neale-Bullen may run through, but that then leaves our small forwards being young Taylor and Pedlar, both have serious tank issues and struggle to get their hands on the ball. I don't see either being viable in the midfield rotations. Curtin is an option, with maybe Hinge moving to a wing, but overall, it's an area that not losing by too much is probably about as hopeful as we can realistically be.
 
Watch the Umps give the self-righteous Pies a dream ride tonight. Going to be a cracker, just hope the ups don't gift the Pies to many freebies again!

But don't let facts get in the way of your rant.
 
I'm just looking forward to seeing half the crows team appealing to the umpires at every ball up or congested possession.

Should be a great spectacle.

Another case of Melbourne Myopia…it’s an epidemic!
 
Got banned last time for having a massive go at rankine. Feeling a bit more justified now.

Pies should win and win big. Crows not a great top of the table team and Collingwood travel well.

Rankine has done a lot of damage to the club in such an important time. Doubt it will have helped them much.

Differential is the better stat than raw numbers. Maybe our games just have more free kicks on average. Of course we're +0.5 for the season against your (0.2), still, it's the more meaningful stat.
