He said weakest top side for a while.
Which is true, worst win loss record of a minor premier in 20 years.

From what I can see we play Thursday night and all the other games are Saturday day matches.

I think Crers requested thurs night so it will be theirs if so.

Have fun getting beaten against the Eagles because your team can't beat a top 8 side

Ah here we go with another ignorant comment.

Well again just to help you with your newly identified issues with mathematics.

Port have won 2 and lost 7 against the top 8. Having beaten the West Coast Eagles in Perth and Sydney in Sydney, both coincidentally sides the Crows lost to.

Now just to further help in case you're confused about what '2' means, it is a number and it comes when you add 1 and 1 together. It's a complex number to grasp so I understand the difficulty you must've faced adding them up.

Was only going by Sportsbet odds and they have the times up for us on Thursday night and the rest Saturday arvo unless they have it wrong?

 

[LFC2010]

Ade v GWS Thursday Night.
Syd v Ess Friday Night
Port v WCE Saturday Night
Gee v Richmond Sunday Arvo.

Check out Sportsbet and see what you can make of the times they have for the first week. The odds are up on there site now.

Happy with a sunny sat Arvo. Will have 2014 elim vibes.

Shirley there weren't too many permutations left before today's matches - they should have been able to press the button within minutes of the Subi match ending (as they have every previous year) - what's the hold-up? They've even missed the Perth news bulletins

There isn't much point in responding to this Aaron bloke, he is so illiterate there just has to be more than one hallett missing from his pallet, and everyone knows it's yous, not `use!'

Tab has crows gws and cats tigers Thursday night with the other two games Friday night ?????

 

[Garibaldi Red]

Think this will be the finals programming

Ade v GWS Thursday Night.
Syd v Ess Friday Night
Port v WCE Saturday Night
Gee v Richmond Sunday Arvo.

No Sunday games scheduled. Saturday avo and Saturday night. The AFL announced this during the week.

It's ridiculous. They would have known all the possible permutations prior to today so surely they had it worked out already.

 

[Ian Jackson]

Do you remember back in 1997 when you lost the first Showdown but came back to win the premiership?
I don't blame you if you don't it was a very, very, very long time ago.

You could almost say its been a generation since then.
Yeh a really long time.

It was last century!!

We'll probably get Saturday arvo then!!!

Seeing you're lost I'll help you out.

1. Given reading comprehension is obviously an issue for you:

"Crows are one of the weakest top sides in a while."​

Notice the word TOP. It has nothing to do with top 8, it refers to you being one of the weakest minor premiers in recent memory.


2. Additionally here's a bit of history for you, that'll give you a bit of an idea of how your side looks relative to past years:

In 2016 6 teams finished with a better W/L record than your 2017, including yourselves.
In 2015 4 teams finished with a better W/L record than your 2017.
In 2014 4 teams finished with a better W/L record than your 2017.
In 2013 3 teams finished with a better W/L record than your 2017.
In 2012 4 teams finished with a better W/L record than your 2017.
In 2011 4 teams finished with a better W/L record than your 2017.​

3. Also in finishing with such an poor record for a top placed side, in a weak season, you've lost 6 games total, but importantly 3 of the 6 were to non-top 8 sides, by a whopping average of 38 points.


4. Importantly because you apparently didn't notice that I criticized Port Adelaide as well I'll point out that line for you again as it was obviously hard for you to see with only one eye.

Port have struggled all year to stand up when tested and are the worst skilled top 8 side.​

5. And so for you again, i will repeat from the original post.

Is there a side that isn't flaky?
.

We're all flaky, it should be a good finals series.

​

Hopefully that helps you gather an understanding of some basic english, and maybe you might take some humility back to your own board. Now GAGF.

Youse are the week top sied you ferals

I'm a little surprised (if it's the case) that Adelaide would request a Thursday night game. This would give them a long time off between games assuming they go straight through to the Prelim.
11 days off til their next game.
Potentially 16 days off prior to the Prelim. Historically this can be a poor prep route for a Premiership.

Feel sorry for Geelong.. have to host a home final at the G vs Richmond coz of $$$
