The Crow Bot Stance Is All About Intimidation... Here's How You Beat It

[Always Ballin]

Stand there longer than them.

That's all there is to it. They don't move until the other team breaks their line. That's it. It's a bro staunch. A fight or flight instinct.

Animals are primitive. The rational mind can easily counter the beast.

Just stand there until they feel uncomfortable and awkward. My God I would psychologically dismantle the Crow Bot stance. I took a few psychology classes way back when. I'm up to date with Pavlov and the salivating dogs.

I see the pre-drinking has started early for some.

Better would be to poke faces while they state.

How to beat it?
Don’t be so weak that you let a bunch of grown men standing in front of you intimidate you

 

[BrewSmackerVeiny]

I'd love to see both teams stand there and stare at each other for 25 minutes.

I reckon when you break away from our link go towards them for a few steps or maybe then go into a huddle circle in front of them. They will get a little shocked and just awkwardly stand there?

I'd be very surprised if what happens during the anthem has any bearing on the result of the match.

Take a swing bro! C'mon bro!

Just laugh at them, make stupid clown faces and other gestures. I have always found it wrong that Australia, in most sports against NZ, have to stand there while NZ players do the Haka right in our face. I get that it is of rich cultural and historical signifiance to NZ, but it's not for Australia. So why should we have to just stand there? You don't see us doing Aboriginal dances in front of them. We just stand there out of respect, if anything. But unlike NZ, the crow stance has no significance whatsoever, it's a lame idea to try and get any psychological advantage you can get, so I say disrespect the crap out of it. If they are trying to get an advantage before a ball has even been bounced, you get an advantage too. Who are they to be offended if an opposition team does laugh at them? Just don't do it and you won't get laughed at.

And the award for the stupid thread of the week goes to this guy...

I would hang a single testicle out the bottom of my shorts and slowly trail my fingers along my body starting from my lips all the way down to my exposed scrotum where I would then invitingly trace circles around it.

 

[BTs Nana]

BT would be all over that standoff.

BOY OH BOY WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?!?!? HAVE A LOOK AT THIS LINGY! LOOK AT JAKEY LEVER STANDING SO STIFF! SO ERECT! BOY OH BOY WOWEE.

You could always try the bold move of out scoring them in the 2 hour football game that follows.

 

[Milanista28]

Pretend to move and let Crows walk away then stop and watch them run away lol.

 

[Emissary]

Take a knee.

Anyone thought that the crows are just that good, that they will win regardless of the stance or otherwise

but it has turned out to be a great promotion of the crows though

 

[nerRADIAN]

If the opposition even think about it once they've already lost.

It can't be that easy.

Meh I'd do something different, when they try and stand still to look intimidating. I'd have Dusty lead the rest of the Tigers in doing the THRILLER dance

Wow, and here I thought Tiger Fans could be reasonable humans, thats just plains savage!

 

[Bunk Moreland]

All 22 Tigers should just take it out.

Stare at this, boys.
