That's one of the lowest on record. Are we even trying? |

The Crows played hard all game. The umpires were abysmal but we got that hilarious call in our favour at the end.
Commentary all week will be “Absolutely the Crows were robbed RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME” | 100% and nothing will be said about the 1 they got a minute earlier In our forward 50. That crows guy was tackled fairly, dropped the ball and got the free, wtf was that for? The biased commentary furiously continues over the game without even mentioning that kick or what It was for, nearly cost us the game. **** em, some how we won, still don’t know how, thought we were cooked. No commentary on us being two down either In an already depleted forward line, they just hate us which makes this one so sweet. _________________ Rock’n’Roll,”I gave you the best years of my life”. |

It would have been an honorable loss. Turned into a phew win |
Spot on , No Elliott, checkers, McCreery, Reef off, yet we still guts it out, got the chocolates. Crows are a damn good side, for sure, same as last season, de ja vu. Take the victory an run with it, learn from the errors in this match, take the lessons, and onto next game. Yeh, pleasing win. _________________ Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.

Phew that was intense. Umpiring was deplorable nothing to us countless holding the ball not called, head high fend offs by cows players right in front of the boundary umpire. Hilarious that Rankine got called for the travel which won us the game, eat that right in front of meee ferals _________________ "Hey Ma get off the dang roof!" |

The crowd at the Central Hotel in Port Douglas went off when JDG kicked that last goal, never in doubt. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

It was a great win because we were generally poor.
Ordinary foot skills ( Pendlebury aside ) for the reigning premiers and a restricted bench doesn’t generally lend itself to winning games against decent opposition. Yet we still found a way to get it done.
Loved the move of DeGoey starting as a forward ( 26 touches, 10 score involvements ) dragging his defender up the ground and losing him in traffic around the middle and then burning Keane off on the way back. Key defenders hate being taken out of their goal square comfort zone.
As long as we have control of the centre square, I would hope we start DeGoey as a deep forward more often. Might preserve the groins too. |

Just to reiterate the Pies put Carlton out of the 8. And at this point now right in time we've jumped to 4th on the ladder. _________________ Premiership Pies made it legendary in 2023, don’t let them forget it. #Go PIES 2024…. |

To be fair we did very well to win but more importantly put ourselves into a position of 5 goals up so we were able to hang on. Adelaide were very smart in switching the ball to the far side and using the width of the MCG our players struggled to cover the area especially in the last, no wonder the pressure dropped away. It was remarkable we even found a way to get a goal to win after falling behind. Some of the new boys found it hard to run out the game which was understandable they will be better for getting the miles in their legs with the amount of pressure.
Cox is a major worry yet with our injuries to our talls he is under no threat of being dropped. _________________ Human behavioural studies suggest people who use a lot of swear words tend to be more honest & trustworthy. |

As opposed to most of our other games?!
As many of us noted in the pre-match, recent history showed this might very well go down the wire again; and sure enough:

Today we won by 4 points.
Ironically, we have doubled our winning margin against them each time in our past three encounters?
So that's 12 points we've collectively beaten them by over the last four encounters.
They just gotta be due to beat us next time!
Like the Carlton v. Melbourne games of 2022-2024: these are ones to watch for a cliffhanger!
Just happy to win today with another decimated interchange bench. _________________ M I L L A N E 4 2 forever |

That’s a story I’ve seen before. We are ranked #1 in AFL for knocking the scum out of the 8! _________________ Human behavioural studies suggest people who use a lot of swear words tend to be more honest & trustworthy. |
