Unique Crows Record

[xamol]

well australia says no to domestic violence, he was left with little option

we could say that your opinions don't count but well I suspect you may already have known that

Stones!!! Houses!!! Glass!!!

Yup

 

[drcollossimo]

I have to say that I am impressed with your diligence and determination. I however doubt your employer would be as impressed.

That type of determination would go very well in Ports midfield..... oh thats right, you're not a flashy outside receiver that your coaching panel seems to love, waiting for someone else to do the hard work.......

Yeah thats true the Crows are a poster child for hard edged physical intimidation, Scott Thompson aside name one player who could intimidate even one of the Grannies from the sea of grey hair that graces your outer?

VB ?
Bernie Vince ?
Goody ?
McKay ? (provided you can actually see him he has a 2 dimensional quality Westy would admire)
Macca ? haha speaking of flashy outside receiver's here is history's greatest one, despite his undeniable brilliance winning a hard footy is not one of Macca's strength's....

Nothing was as sad as the 05 semi where you beat us after Pickett bumped into Biglands to see S.Goodwin run up to Byron and 'try' to push him around i wonder what he was saying? I think it would be along the lines of:

"I am as tough as Roo, Really i am, stop it, stop saying I'm soft! I am tough and one day i will grow up to be be big and strong and be Captain, Neil says i will"

Unlike Disturbed One I dont have the time to waste my time researching, so I will ask 3 questions that count:

1) Who has won more premierships, the Crows or Power
2) Who holds the record for the greatest GF defeat in VFL/AFL history?
3) Who has the winning record in finals between the two teams?

If the answer is Crows, Port, Crows. Then Deluded One anything else you write is your attempt to deflect your teams poor record compared to ours.

 

[kirky]

This thread has a lot of double counting.

Still its good to see a Power supporter off the streets and not getting into trouble.

 

[kirky]

hahaha luv this thread, crows are a pathetic club

35>2

Huh, 35??? AFL Premiers = Once

1) What your describing here is exactly what D-one is referring to, you won those flags over 10 years ago so well done for that but when do you think it will be time to move on? the greater Adelaide metro area can't go for more than a week or two without someone bringing it up MOVE ON PLEASE! If you can?

2) We actually made a GF with our opportunity in 07 which is much more than you could achieve in four years since 05, sure luck played it's part but can u sit there hand on heart and really say luck hasn't played a part in ANY GF appearence? Geelong for all their dominance in 07 were lucky to squeak past Collingwood in the prelim....

3) We've played each other once in a final and as I've stated before how many Minor Premier's would start slapping each other on the ass for beating the team which just made 8th spot as your ONLY finals victory of that year?! You played us in that final against a team who had been playing finals footy for 5 straight years and were tired and jaded, so well done! Considering how long the glow of victory after 97 and 98 has lasted i fully expect to be hearing about that win for the next 70 years...

You do wonder what is the difference between the Crows and the 114 other teams that have achieved the feat of 7 finals series in 8 years.

Perhaps they are just actually not very talented, and they are overachieving by making the finals each year. It would probably make the most sense, but then it doesn't explain 05 and 06. Maybe it's the perfect storm of overachieving in the regular season and crippling finals mental issues.

Actually, the whole destination disease theory probably sums it up the best. They focus so heavily on making the finals, it's their sole desire all season. They don't think about what comes after it.

I subscribe to the theory that they are happy to maintain their 2-1 lead over Port. If there is no pressure to win Grand Finals and their supporter base is happy to wander the streets of Adelaide and say 2-1, 2-1, 2-1 like the Daleks from Dr Who. After all they only exist to be spoilers for Port. There is no other reason for them to exist.

Carlton (1916 to 1923) 7 Finals Series, 2 Grand Finals and 0 Flags
Camry Crows (2001 to 2008) 7 Finals Series, 0 Grand Finals and 0 Flags

81 to go.

 

[D_One]

Centrelink isn't that great..

You don’t need Centrelink if you have drive and ambition. Speaking of drive and ambition. The Melbourne team from 57 to 64 had plenty of drive and ambition.

Melbourne (1957 to 1964) 8 Finals Series, 5 Grand Finals and 4 Flags
Camry Crows (2001 to 2008) 7 Finals Series, 0 Grand Finals and 0 Flags

80 to go.

 

[D_One]

Centrelink isn't that great..

He also has the number 14 in his signature. Which reminds me of Carlton’s 8 year stint starting in 1914.


Carlton (1914 to 1921) 8 Finals Series, 4 Grand Finals and 2 Flags
Camry Crows (2001 to 2008) 7 Finals Series, 0 Grand Finals and 0 Flags

79 to go.

It is not as good as the Power's unique record...

 

[Loyal2Port]

yes it is, giving a shout out of support to d1

edit - just started my fantasy team, team name - kick_it_to_tippett (not sure how successful my season will be and am looking to head to the gold coast at the end of the year)

but I guess most of you already knew that

1) Carltons last flag was in 1995, yes they have gone through hard times but are you trying to say they are not a successful cliub?
2) Big deal you made a Grand Final, you didnt win it and that is all that counts. Unless you create a record along the way,119.
3) When you refer to our finals record it is only fair you discuss the final we played. Tired and jaded?! Ive now heard it all. I can imagine when your players were mouthing off all week and when they were getting ready in the changeroom they must have all been thinking "gees I feel tired and jaded, lets capitulate in the second half".

Now no Crows suppporter would be happy we havent won a flag in 10 years. But I would put money on it that we wouldnt be content with just making a GF. And until you win your second flag, and that might not be for another 50 years, its best you dont have a go at a club that has achieved more than you, no matter how long ago it was.

Carlton are a successful club but the point i am trying to make was that just becuase they won a flag in '95 doesn't mean that what happened next was anything short of an embarassment. Just like winning in 97 and 98 doesn't cover for the fact your team has lost big finals games it should have won and wasn't good enough to make a GF. A home prelim after a week off and the Eagles over ran you, i mean 119 is really, really bad but that effort is not much better.

Records don't mean much, do you think anyone plays port and thinks whoa they lost by 119 points 2 years ago this is going to be easy! The only people who give a stuff are Crows fans like you with nothing else more constructive to say. Constant bleeting of 119 from Crows fans is made all the more wearing by the fact Geelong fans whose team ACTUALLY made the record aren't anywhere near as obnoxious..

Are you seriously that naive to think that 5 years of final appearances doesn't wear a team/club down? i mean even the lions and bombers before them found it hard to constantly perform at such a standard consistently over 4-5 years... Taking the tired/jaded statement out (which you can't but for the sake of argument) you still only beat the team who finished the minor round in 8th and you were 1st, with a club record number of wins at the time blah blah blah...

Is winning a premiership the only marker of success? Because if that's the case the Crows are actually one of the least successful clubs in the AFL... Oh and i think you'll find it DOES matter how long ago it was I wonder if Cartlon fans rub it in Swans supporters noses that in 1907 they beat South Melbourne for the flag? Do you know anyone who watched that game or even cares?!

I am sure that Port have lost some finals which they were expected to win - let see - 2001 semifinal and 2002 and 2003 qualifying finals. I think we have an own goal. 1-0 By the way, I'm pretty sure that only Crows fans and obviously Port fans will ever remember that game but to lose a GF by a record VFL/AFL margin is a record that will take some beating and everyone remembers it. You compare a PF to a GF - amazing mindset!

Given records don't mean much (your own words) then who gives a continental about our recent finals records but you see a GF loss of the highest order does count coz it will be forever etched in the record books for a long time - looks like another own goal. 2-0 By the way, how are those sessions with your shrink going?

Well, given the Crows have made finals 7 of the past 8 sessions must also make them jaded by your reasoning. Thats a copout and you know it. I bet the 2001 playing group was significantly different to the 2005 playing group. Own goal no 3. 3-0.

If are we one of the least successful clubs in the AFL and we have averaged a premiership once every 9 years, what does that make Port, given one premiership every 12 years? Oops another own goal. 4-0 - thats nearly as many goals as you scored in the "dream final".

 

[tribey]

..but you see a GF loss of the highest order does count coz it will be forever etched in the record books for a long time - looks like another own goal..

It sure does.

Central District 6.1 11.5 18.11 23.15 (153)
Woodville-West Torrens 2.2 3.3 4.3 4.4 (28).

Or does being a WWT supporter momentarily not count when you're gloating about record GF losses?

Realistically it's all about finals entered, and then end results.

97/98 we can conclude were definitely Bradburys. First off in 97, getting thumped by Melbourne, then fluking the flag. Now days in a fairer finals setup, the Crows would have been arseholed after getting thrashed.

98....coming across the best team in the comp, and finding them on a very bad day, yea good luck to you, Wayne Carey never missed so many shots like that in his career.........stinks of Bradbury

Then you had your real chances. Home Prelims in 05-06. Best team in the comp in both occasions. Blew your chances right out of the water, as a mediocre team do

Where'as Port have played in one home prelim, for a flag......and played in another GF, where the opposition was streets ahead of any other team. Port took the spanking for the rest of the league.

Adelaide Camwy Cows = Mediocrity

Who was gloating? I certainly know what it is like to be on the receiving end and it is that what drove the club to challenge again for the 2005GF (yes they ultimately lost) and then to get off the canvas once more amnd ultimately take the prize from the same club in 2006. But what did your club do in 2008, capitulate thats what. Gave up, 13 games in - what a creed!

Hello, how many Preliminary Finals have you won away from home?

1998 and 1998 - in both year they were the best defensive side in the league and had the best % in the league.

1997 - first team ever to win 4 finals in a row to win the flag.

1998 - played 5 games in a row (probably a record methinks) on the road to win the flag.

Yep, both flukes.

PS : Don't forget your shrink.
