39, Simon Black

39 and the next most in the game was Buckley with 24. The next best Brisbane player was Hart with 21!!
Black with 25 had more contested possessions than anyone else had total possessions

Pretty easy Norm Smith Decision.

[Jars458]

Sauce. Say no more.

 

[TheLeftFist8]

Reading all this is making me nervous. I think we are a 60% chance of winning but there are always factors such as mid game injuries, scoring inaccuracy, umpires shafting us to create momentum shifts, Martin playing the greatest individual GF of all time.

Richmond definitely have a huge chance if crucial moments go their way.

Having said all that...

- Crows by 36
- Norm: Brad Crouch
- Highlight: A 65m goal from Seedsman after 3 bounces down the wing.

 

[Captain Morgan]

Apparently there may be strong winds. We don't do windy games well at all.

Will mess with our game plan and totally suit the tigers.

Worried but hopefully we adjust as necessary.

I believe we can win this however.

Ps - there is a replay video on the AFL website - the 'resilience' opening from the PF. It's brilliant, check it out.

 

[PCORF]

Adelaide to come from 30 points behind at halftime and win by 10 points.

Well I can only hope.

You get the thread prize for humour

I think a lot of people are underestimating Sauce in this Norm Smith Medal voting. I just put $10 on Sauce to win the medal. He is made for big ocassions like this. 3x Showdown medalist just proves that. Showdowns are equal to our Grand Final. He's paying $21 too so a nice $210 payment on GF day would be nice too

I watched the Friday & Saturday matches very closely so I could asses the two finalists better,.....NO CONTEST...there is not a vestige of comparison in the quality of the players,RICHMOND will be annihilated and will be wondering what hit them on Saturday. Richmond are just a good side,nothing more but I feel sorry for them because of how they will be feeling long before the match ends.....my prediction.
CROWS BY 15 GOALS.

PS all this bunkum about Cotchin's tackle, THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.it was as good a tackle as you could wish to see in our great "MANS" game.please don't alter any of our rules otherwise it will end up a "girlies"game like soccer has.
