Unique Crows Record

[D_One]

took me less than a minute to do that. how long u think this took?

It doesn’t take long at all if you are good at extracting and presenting data. However it took the Crows eight long years to achieve this unique record. The Crows can equal it with another failed finals campaign next year. But then there would 86 (or 87 if the Swans make the finals in 09) teams that have made the finals eight or more times in a nine year period and the Crows would be the only team never to have made a Grand Final. And we can do it again. Yee Har.

I hope this makes you feel better.

Carlton (1929 to 1936) 7 Finals Series, 1 Grand Final and 0 Flags

Not as much time as you've spent reading it all

And it looks like there are many other Crows fans who are reading it. It’s a bit of bad luck that Collingwood fans from 100 years ago cant read it … as I’m sure they would be laughing at the Crows effort too.

Collingwood (1901 to 1908) 8 Finals Series, 4 Grand Finals and 2 Flags

I only read the first 2 posts, I know that would have taken a port supporter a while...see dick run, dick has a dog

Dick has three Brownlow Medals, Dick’s surname is Reynolds, Dick was Captain-Coach of Essendon from 1939 until 1950

Essendon (1942 to 1949) 7 Finals Series, 6 Grand Finals and 3 Flags

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

You may want to check a few of those 'facts'.

This is singularly the most self indulgent and inept attempt at deflection of 119 yet D.

It is absolutely peurile and pathetic, not to mention inane.

Full of na na nana na and take that.
It's a joke...only thing good about it is that it makes you look like a complete tool.

One obvious error. We played Melbourne in 1998 not 1997 and if played under the current finals system, we would have played the 8th side at home not the 4th side away as we did in 1998 (we could afford to lose in the first week and especially so given the 8th side had lost the previous night).

In the end, we won, so suck on that.

I see you're rolling out the A grade material here

The Carlton team from 1908 to 1915 was also A grade. The Camry Crows team from 2001 to 2008 was something below A grade. In fact they were a complete failure.

Carlton (1908 to 1915) 7 Finals Series, 5 Grand Finals and 3 Flags
Camry Crows (2001 to 2008) 7 Finals Series, 0 Grand Finals and 0 Flags

I give threads the posts they deserve

That’s good because I give teams that have competed in seven or more finals series in an eight year period without making the Grand Final what they deserve.

I would have bagged the 1973 to 1980 Collingwood team but they made three Grand Finals. So I’ll bag the Camry Crows instead.

Collingwood (1973 to 1980) 7 Finals Series, 3 Grand Finals and 0 Flags

2 flags > 1 flag End of story.

No amount of threads crying about it will change it.

Adelaide win more flags than Port.

THis tells me one thing. You are so dumb, you cant think of anything constructive or destructive to say, so you attack my username.

But attacking your username is the quick option. Attacking you logic and argument would result in a thesis longer than “War and Peace”

Speaking of “War and Peace” the Carlton team from 1910 to 1917 had to play in Peacetime and during World War One.

If you had a clue I wouldn't have to tell you, they are as obvious as if I said that Port haven't won a flag since they joined the AFL in 1947.

If you can't see then then I suggest you find a new sport.

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

Speaking of domestic violence, Jeff Farmer has never played in seven finals series in an eight year period. However his uncle Graham “Polly” Farmer played in seven finals series when he played for Geelong from 1962 to 1968.

hahaha luv this thread, crows are a pathetic club

35>2

Speaking of 35, Richmond ended a great eight year period in 1935.

Is that what Mrs BWST is doing while you are lying on the couch in saggy jocks watching pr0n?

 

[relapse]

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 also wonder why West Coast and Adelaide could win 2 flags with their initial squads while Port could only manage one.

Was it that talent pool was as great or whether they just are satisfied with hypothetical achievements like their supporters are.

 

[D_One]

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.......

What? A flashy outside reciever like Andrew McLeod?? People used to call
Ronnie Wearmouth a flashy outside reciever too. But at least he played in three Grand Finals. Two of them were between 1972 and 1979.

Collingwood (1972 to 1979) 7 Finals Series, 2 Grand Finals and 0 Flags
Camry Crows (2001 to 2008) 7 Finals Series, 0 Grand Finals and 0 Flags

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

Yup

Yes Darren Glass started his career in 2000. He contributed to the following record.

West Coast (1993 to 2000) 7 Finals Series, 1 Grand Final and 1 Flag
Camry Crows (2001 to 2008) 7 Finals Series, 0 Grand Finals and 0 Flags

69 to go.

 

[D_One]

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"

Apparently Fred “Pompey” Elliott was a hard player. He played for Carlton from 1900 to 1911 (1902 excluded). In his first year as captain in 1908 he took the Blues to a flag.

Carlton (1904 to 1911) 8 Finals Series, 6 Grand Finals and 3 Flags
Camry Crows (2001 to 2008) 7 Finals Series, 0 Grand Finals and 0 Flags

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.

Sorry but this thread is about teams that have made the finals seven or more times in any eight year period. Unfortunately there is only one team that has made the finals seven or more times in an eight year period and not qualified for a Grand Final in that eight year period. That team is the Camry Crows.

The Collingwood team from 1965 to 1972 made the finals seven times in that eight year period and didn’t win a premiership. They did however qualify for two Grand Finals.

Collingwood (1965 to 1972) 7 Finals Series, 2 Grand Finals and 0 Flags
Camry Crows (2001 to 2008) 7 Finals Series, 0 Grand Finals and 0 Flags

67 to go.
