haha, My wife who is portuguese had an argument with someone in the US who swore black and blue that Portugal was in Africa one time. Called my wife a liar and everything.

[crows dude]

May we please finally win a home QF and go straight to a prelim!

So glad to have Max back

Did you forget 2017

 

[CrowToon]

4 goal win. Collingwood exposed.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Raining down south.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Raining down south.

In which country?

I've lost track

 

[moogerfooger]

Another 2.40am start. Totally worth it if we win.

I've seen Collingwood over perform in too many away finals to be confident but unless we get overawed I think we have the weapons to put them away. Selecting Cox feels like a Hail Mary, like an admission they need to do something different. It's a big risk considering his form this year.

Big games incoming from Dawson, the Thilseeker and Tex. The crowd to be the loudest ever. Crows in a close one.

The lid to be well and truly off.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Is anyone in Adelaide?

 

[Apsaalooke]

Where are you? must be in same timezone? UK?

Yep travelling around

Did not have to worry about the Pies in 2017. They are a different story. Collingwood in a final, near impossible to beat when they travel here as they nearly always lift. Good luck tonight Adelaide, if we can somehow snatch it I think we can go all the way. If we can win it, it will be pretty much our biggest win since the 1998 flag. Gold Coast were unlucky not to be here, a few dodgy calls vs Port.

If it does not work out we will get another chance in the semi, win that and play in away preliminary final as huge underdogs. Anything can happen in the finals.

On reflection AFL did NOT want both QLD teams in the top 4. The fix was on

Morning shower possible, sunny afternoon.

And especially so if they were on opposite sides of the draw. If they both lost in the first week then two matches - one at Gabba and one at People First - both capacities under 40k.

This is all about $$$ - in Perth and Adelaide they get full houses of 50k+ with every single patron paying.

At the MCG only half are paying as the MCC and AFL members get the first 3 week of finals free (they pay a fee to reserve a seat).

That plus the heat they are already getting about the Nth Acadmies, esp QLD ones.

 

[Cromulant]

Its been 8 years..... 8 long, tough, frustrating years.

Foot to the throat from the first bounce and no letting up.

Crows by 25.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

I’m hoping work goes quick and it’s game time.

We need to have a good start in the first quarter and not let teams get a head start.

 

[Pilchard_Adams]

If the Crows stuff this up, I fear for my black and white cats safety...

 

[chazwazza]

Going to be a long day

One of my all time favourite songs

 

[Alwaysacrow]

We need to come out breathing fire. Take a 3-4 goal lead in at Q time then stave off any Collingwood attempt to snatch the lead. If we can manage this I'll be very happy and I won't suffer another heart attack. PLEASE.

 

[Zzzuuuppp]

How on earth am I meant to concentrate at work today!?

 

[Milo Cyrus]

Get it done.
Go Crows.

Technically he may have been correct when Gondwana land was a supercontinent millions of years ago.

'Work' is just to fill in and pass time today mate....

 

[chazwazza]

Viana do Castelo down ol' South America way I see

Viana do Castelo was the first Portuguese port I sailed into, good memories

 

[chazwazza]

Can’t pick this game, sort of quietly confident based on Adelaide proving they can overcome the challenges laid before them.
If they don’t get overwhelmed and shit the bed I think they can win, need a good start to settle the nerves and instil confidence.
Adelaide 21

 

[Milo Cyrus]

Hope we are on the spoil and mop up tonight.
If ROB can dominate the airways tonight we'll get the chocolates.
2hrs of grunt, grind, method and execution.
Pole position is on the line. G/L.
Drown the "Collingwood" chanters out with "Adelaide" as this is our house and it's time.
