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

[Port 2004]

You might be right, but I also could see port fans doing the same thing (booing) if rozee got rubbed out for the same reason

Doubt it. We actually know something about the game. Probably best you don’t bring us into through speculation.

 

[Coasters7]

It's a cultural thing. They didn't like it on here when I pointed out how bad the Crows supporter behaviour generally is (even on the road they can be offensively obnoxious), and tonight they showed just how low they will stoop to try to get an edge on an opposing team.

Not sure if you’re aware or have had experience with any Pies supporters but there’s a reason 17 other supporter bases hate them

 

[DangerSloane]

Tells you everything you need to know.

Crows have shown their horrible true colours to the nation, they made neutrals barrack for Collingwood of all teams.

Isnt your club currently supporting a r*pist?
Spare me.

They're annoying flogs, no doubt. They just don't generally cross a line into personal abuse against other fans, bigotry against players, expecting non-existent frees for every tackle and cracking it when they don't get it.

 

[thisismyname]

I think Adelaide were too busy celebrating finishing top of the ladder, and showed no respect to Collingwood for the game. Too busy worrying about Quaynor. I wonder why they were booing him. At least Rankine is happy they lost.

 

[Maddo11]

Thoughts on the Worrell and Keane incidents ?

Worrell the contact was lesser because it was bicep not shoulder, and Keane was lucky he missed

I wouldn’t say those things are solely associated with the Crows. All clubs have bad supporters. Just so happens that 95% of Collingwood’s fit the stereotype

 

[Trenchies Park]

What can we say? Beaten by the better team

 

[Munich]

Spare me.

What a shock of a response from yet another homophobic crows supporter.

 

[pjcrows]

Comprehensively smashed by a super midfield and a fantastic coach.

Nicks trying to play mind games using a 20 year old kid coming back from injury was about as dumb as it gets.

All supporter bases have idiots but the widespread booing of Quaynor was cringeworthy and not okay. Booing Houston? I'm not a booer but on that one, eh, there's history there, play on.

Lick our wounds and see if we can respond next week. I have my doubts, as I did tonight.

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

Ha ha Moore is shit.

Post of the night.
As clueless as your club

 

[Soggy2112]

Booing Quaynor was disgusting and I’m ashamed of it.

Acting like this is an Adelaide specific problem is counterproductive. The only way to make progress is to admit this could, and does happen anywhere.

If you cast your mind back 10 years ago to the end of Adam Goodes career and think what your club’s fans did. I remember at the time, and since then, a lot of Crows fans bragged that we were supportive of him. I always said that we were lucky that it was an away game, and our cheer squad were a bit more considerate than how things likely would have gone had it been played at home.

Again, I’m deeply ashamed of how a lot of our supporters acted. But if we’re going to be real about making change here, drop the tribalism and the holier than thou attitude that this is somehow only an issue with the “Feral South Australians”.

No that's not the reason pies are hated. Pies were hated as they were the poor slum working class team who dominated the vfl for first 50 years like no other which earned them being hated by all in victoria. That mythology spread to interstate sides as they joined. If you think wet toast booing peons aren't as obnoxious as any other sides fans then you are kidding yourself. Insufferable watching a wet toast home game on tv, the morons dead set boo every passage of play for four quarters.

Now you know how every Collingwood fan has felt for their entire lives putting up with the moron view that "pies fans are just all racist trolls who boo and have no teeth" stereotyping junk.

Non vic clubs hating Collingwood is desperate and embarrassing. Bandwagon losers who only get to be in the AFL because pies fans fill the purse.

 

[Cyclops]

Room for improvement. Defence had one ten minute lapse. Forwards had 2 great 4 less so. Mjds have to improve.

The tactics seemed sound, first they quarters you scored despite losing the midfield.

First finals jitters had some key Crows down, really thats what cost you.

We had several blokes play their best game for the season. Hard to beat experience, but you have the double chance, so you're you've earned the opportunity to get experience.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Briefly barracked for Freo. Causes massive brain damage apparently.

He did? Why on earth?

I disliked the Pies before, but no more than some other big Vic clubs.

The umpiring stuff was what made me really hate them, but that seems to have settled down of late.

The idea of Geelong or Collingwood winning it all just depresses me. With Sydney, Hawthorn etc, they're just always there, and get a lot of advantages.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Yes - my point is that it's a symptom of broader cultural issues. Pies fans are indeed obnoxious, but I've never seen them go close to what home fans in Adelaide do, e.g. going ape shit whenever they don't get a free (even when e.g. there was no prior opportunity for a HTB - far beyond howls of discontent in Melbourne), mockingly clapping opposition fans out of the ground after the Crows won, abusing opposition fans on the streets, jeering clearly injured players, and now booing victims of homophobic abuse by their own players. It's a rotten culture, whatever the admin is trying to do to rectify it (though, when you look at how they handled the Rankine case, rectifying the culture is clearly not their number one priority).

I don't know how broad it is though. Port fans aren't really like that. I think the crows just drew in all casual fans by starting first and it had given them a sub set of fans that just want tribalism. The ones that jumped onto port did so because because they were fans of Port in the SANFL and you doing really see the same thing.

Wow, you are referencing a 13 year old girls comments 12 years ago?

Society has come a long way since then.

Be better buddy

South Australians have a reputation, and tonight did them no favours.

 

[Soggy2112]

I get it, and I’m genuinely not one of those people.

I’ve always thought with the Pies that the bad rep comes partly from a bit of historical classism, but also from the fact that they have the biggest supporter base. More fans in total means you naturally have more ****heads.

There’s a reason the clubs that have supposedly “feral” supporter bases are the likes of West Coast, Adelaide, Collingwood, Essendon etc. The more fans the more likely people are to have bad experiences with that fan base.

You don’t hear much about Gold Coast or GWS having feral supporters.

I have been abused by both for having the temerity to wear a Hawthorn scarf on the streets after a loss.
But I do agree Port fans do seem to know more about footy, and aren't a quarter as annoying when you're at the ground.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Had to turn on 5aa at the end to listen to Rowe melt... He basically said Quaynor deserved the boos because he dobbed Rankine in. What a flog!

Unfortunately, Rowey has the tendency to speak with emotion rather than thought. Just on Quaynor, I thought his game tonight was superb. IMHO easily one of Collingwood's best.
