What about our H&A record against the Eagles ??? Oooops there goes that one, try againcaptain ebert said:reads like a choke to me:
"We have to play better in finals. Our record in the home and away series has been great but we haven't been able to win the couple of games we've needed to get into a Grand Final.
who said that?

Then why wasn't it a choke in 2005 considering you finished top last year. Using your logic both Finals losses last year were chokes.

oh well, 4 goals up at half time.....of course, history said you were going to lose

This seriously isn't going to solve anything, because us Crows and Port supporters are always going to have a difference of opinion. Whether or not we did choke it quite frankly doesn't bother me, because i couldn't care less about comparing our previous finals records with the Power anymore.
Of course, we're always going to have competition with each other, that's a result of sharing the same state. But this worrying about the simple "chokers" tag IS getting ridiculous now.
Adelaide DO still have a chance next year, simple as that, the list is still very strong.
Now seriously.. this thread is just a repeat of the same fights over and over again, while some good points are being made it's not going anywhere useful at all.
So in other words.. can't we all just get along

the season is the stepping stone to getting there, idiot - you're form throughout showed you were clearly the league leaders - & when it did count, everyone backed you, they thought you would atone, they didnt expect you to choke, again.
The thing no1 seems to understand is there are 3 superior teams in the AFL right now and obviously only 2 make the grand final. If the crows had faced sydney either year i think they wouldve won.
The difference between this and port is that in those years there were only 2 superior teams in the league at that time - brisbane and port - yet port still failed to make the grand final for a few years.

Holy crap I've already said that last years FIRST ROUND was a choke. The match at subi had nothing to do with choking. Adelaide losing last years prelim is about as much of a choke as Port losing in last years semi. Yeah that's right. It wasn't.The Floodbuster said:
The choking tag is thrown around WAAAAAAAAAY too much. And usually only by Port fans desparate to get rid of the tag, especially if its to their cross town rivals.
Geez guys, my father is a sensible port supporter and even he doesn't think it was a choke and is embarassed by the notion that other Port fans are trying to claim it was.

nah, but lets be honest. West Coast have a better midfield and without Biglands. Cox got into the game a lot more in the second half and their midfield got more ball and we got beaten. We werent playing some pathetic side, this was a side that has come back from being 10 goals down just before 3 quarter time to win.
It sucks and I am so disappointed about it and our "premiership window" has closed IMO.
We could play what ifs and maybe if West Coast had of beaten Sydney in the first week things might have been totally different. West Coast seem to have our number and we just cant crack it.

That's a cop out, of coarse no Crows supporter will want to compare their recent finals record with ours because it is simply worse.
relapse said:
well, being honest, i didnt expect to see what happened after 1/2 time unfold before me.
you had their measure, & being honest your effort in the 3rd term, the premiership quarter, when it all counted the most, exposed you as chokers.
you didnt expect to let them back in did you? i mean, you always thought you were capable - dont tell me you thought you were going to lose this game from the very outset.

Well obviously we werent and as many of your fellow port supporters pointed out, the middle of our season we had a very easy run against bottom 8 sides and in the last part of the year we came up against many top 8 sides and did poorly, our form was crap going into the finals.
Many didnt even expect us to beat Freo.

As I said, I thought we could have won it, but the injury to Biglands was a telling blow and Cox's dominance in the second half displayed that. Eagles began to get the first use of the ball and we were getting chopped up.
You cant tell me that you expected Adelaide to win when everyone else int he football world said that West Caost would win easy.
Find me any football expert that picked us to win ??? Did your mate Rucci ??? No did anyone in victoria ??? No. In the end we werent good enough against the side that finished top.

Cox was dominating before Biglands was hurt.
West Coast came back against bottom 8 sides who couldn't handle the pressure. It has been stated by many in the past 2 years that the current Crows team was playing above itself and come finals time when the other teams go up a gear the Crows had no more gears left.
You are West Coast's bitches, bit like you are Port's.
If If If If, you never wasted your draft picks back in 02 for Carey............
Stop blaming stupid ****ing other teams for losing and face up to reality that you CHOKED BIGTIME and lost a HOME Prelim final.
