How are you celebrating the good times?

[Samcro24]

Draw is irrelevant if we are playing like this. It's more about us than the opposition.

Btw, why mention 0-10 as even though we are currently s**t, we won't get close to no wins in out 1st 10 games. Can turn quickly & we need it to!

3-7 would be close to 0-10.

 

[1970crow]

They thought they were hard done by and would automatically make the 8.

We recruited no one except for Burgess whilst losing McAdam and Doedee.

The club and players spoke like finals was just going to happen but add the Freo loss next week and then the Dees and reality has set in.

The AFL competition does not sit still.

The club are ****ed. Nicks is ****ed. Ogilvie and his lack of midfield drafting are ****ed. Our cheerleading supporters are ****ed. You get what you deserve when you are muppets.

Picks 5 and 6 on small forwards and yet we still need Murphy in the side. Explain that.

When he ran back with the flight of the ball and nearly KO'd himself in an ultimately ineffectual effort in Q4, our coaching box would have been in raptures

That moment will get replayed on loop to the whole squad all week. We may even cancel training to fit in more clip watching

I start with it with it won’t happen and say at best I believe we will be 3-7 at best. So I don’t expect us to be 0-10, but our draw is very challenging considering we aren’t playing well.

Our fixture was challenging even before we showed up playing like garbage.

After the no-goal-no-finals-for-you-ha-ha debacle we sure told the AFL what's what about this year's fixture.

We got some good money-maker time slots which is what the club would have been asking for, but the fixture sure is difficult. A nice cushy first round game at home against the wooden spooners would have been nice for instance. Playing as bad as we are, it still would have been a win to instil some confidence.

I'm enjoying the fact I'm no longer invested in the outcome of Crows games as losses are expected rather than disappointing, frees up a lot of emotional space.

 

[Slippery Pete]

Everyone at the club has been very clear: they did very well last year and this year is bringing in the bacon.

How are you celebrating the wonderful success of our club, which doesn't ever need to ever present itself in results. Extensions all-around!!!

Every unelected member of the board needs to extend themselves by another ten years. It’s the honourable thing to do.

2017 did that for me. Took me a while to get over the GF loss and I think it broke part of me, but in a good way.

Since then Crows losses don't affect my mood in a negative way. I have maybe a 5-10 minute decompress after the game then it's on to the next thing. If we have a good win, then yeah I'm up and about. But a loss doesn't change my weekend. We're basically at the stage now where I expect to be let down so when it inevitably happens, it's just par.

It might sound weird but it's like a disconnect. Of course I want us to win, but I'm not on the field. If they lose what should be a winnable game, why should I feel bad when they're the ones that suck?

One thing losing takes away from me is my reluctance to engage in any footy media or forum chat.

When we win I like to bask in the glory, but when we lose the toxic garbage comes out in force (and rightfully so) and doesn't entice engagement.

I was so optimistic two weeks ago, couldn't wait for the season to start, and now I couldn't give a shit about the next 20-odd rounds of footy.

Very depressing, but here we are again, for the 26th year in a row.

I am sure they will tease me back to think 'can we?' only to be let down once more.

Its no coincidence that the week we resign Nicks he puts in arguably his worst coaching performance of recent times said in the context of the squad available, where the game was and who the opponent was. He coached like a man that has no worries in his immediate future...lackadaisical and lacking in real effort

But he made sure to tell us Stewart is a very good player...a very very good player..that we had no plan B, C or D for.

I'm planning on taking out a full page advert in the Tiser to celebrate our website clicks which are up by 7%.
What an achievement. What a club.

Away Vs a team that has already played (only us an North hit with that)
Home to Geelong. Should win, but never an easy beat team.
Away to Fremantle. Not easy.
Then home for a Thursday night game against Melbourne.

The last two seem ok, except, we travel and play Friday night. Then travel back Saturday.
Melbourne play in Adelaide against Port and so will probably stay here for the week.
It means that in the 'extra' game we get at home, we somehow end up the team that travels...

Just when you think you've seen Adelaide do all the dumb Adelaide things, it looks like we're about to out Adelaide ourselves with this extension.

Already getting a bit of attention, can only imagine the media coverage at 0-5.

 

[WeeBlake]

If Nicks implodes this year, surely Roo can’t survive

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I'm just on the verge of hate watching. You know that point where you're kind of hoping it goes badly so everyone gets sacked? Just about there now.

Thats gold, you need to send that to the club

They couldn’t handle the public pressure with what Port copped with Hinkley so they re-signed him early. Now they’ll have to deal with public pressure anyway.

w***ers

I no longer criticise the club anymore because according to the clowns on Facebook anyone who dares to criticise the club needs go and support the mob down the road.

Melbourne have already said they're staying in Adelaide for the Gather Round week..

Bloody hell, locals who love nose beers better get in quick, could be a shortage

Yep. The emotion has gone out of watching them.

Used to rant and rave at the TV but watching them on Friday night, wasn't getting angry or upset 'cause I knew what was unfurling in front of me and ultimately, I knew what was going to happen.

I just seem to be resigned to the fact that it' s the 'same old same old' routine from the playing group.
