Elimination Final: W.Bulldogs v Adelaide, MCG, Sat, Sept 12th, 7.20m (AEST), 6.50pm (SA)

[Jobe Watson]

Two best games were the Port/Crows derby (high scoring) and Tiges/ Hawks (low scoring)

Bahahaha.

 

[Tyrone Time]

Incredible heart by the Crows, great attacking footy by the Dogs.
Enjoyable game as a neutral, extra time would've been fitting.
Unfortunate one of these sides finals is over, great to watch.

Maybe.

No.

Gee a dirty day for Bevs. Fancy not having a hard tag on Betts.

 

[FalcoX]

Note to Freo- That's how you put on a show.

There were two teams playing muppet and wow you put on a great show and lost would rather win tbh but to each his own

By losing?

 

[Mr Eagle]

Campo's job prospects get better and better.

Tigers Vs Hawks probably not even in the top 30 matches this year..

 

[Meow]

Crows still breaking Dog hearts. 1st established in 1997.

Have also broken Norf hearts on a few occasions too. (*cough* 98 *cough* Round 9 2013 *cough*)

Have to feel for the Dogs after the season they've had and after so many close losses in finals, but still an inspirational win from Adelaide. Eagles/Freo are favourites for a reason, but the Crows possess a steely determination and ability to dig deep unmatched by most other sides.

 

[E92_]

How big was the crowd?

Just over 60k, I think.

Oh and obligatory gosh darn umpires!! They lost us the game! It certainly wasn't our fault in any way.

I prefer our way of winning the game early and cruising to the finish

 

[rippersnipper]

Will adelaide stay in Melbourne or fly back to adelaide?

 

[burningdwarf]

Bad luck King Bont you've ended up winning as many finals as we have this year. Pity Bont couldn't nail those 3 sitters, the last one probably would have sealed it.

 

[tek87]

The Bont had the most clearances on the ground. 3 more than any Crows player.

We wouldn't be in the game if it wasn't for him.

he played well but choked directly in front of goal twice. i know that feeling having lost a gf to bad kicking. Bont was not alone - Grant and Crameri. should have won by 5 goals on balance of play.

 

[The Speaker]

good work with the mics seven

 

[Damon_3388]

Ok. Dosent matter the cows will get smashed next week.

I think they'll lose by 12-24 in a pretty nondescript game. But there's no sex appeal in that type of call, though.

note to Bulldogs. thats how you choke. all show and no substance

lololol.

He wasn't too good in front of goal tonight was he?

 

[Heaps of fun]

Reckon Beveridge lost the Dogs the game by not putting a defender on Betts for the first half of the game.

 

[Damon_3388]

Good thing that he's still a teenager in his second year of AFL footy, and potentially has a decade plus to make up for these "chokes" then, isn't it?

 

[Angus Young]

Huh?? u might want to thank the umpires for the worst decision of the year that too high in front of goal.

u lost the game urselves..shit kicking and crappy handballs

 

[E92_]

pls stay in Adelaide, Danger.

 

[sonnywalters]

Note to psychic: not your best work.

 

[Langa]

Gees Crows really excite when it comes to finals, especially in Melbourne.

1993 Prelim vs Bombers. Lose by 2 goals after being up 7 at half time.
1997 Prelim vs Dogs. Come back from 40 down to win by 2 points
97 and 98 Grand Finals
2002 semi vs Melbourne, blow a 7 point lead but kick away again to win.
2007 elimination vs Hawks - Franklin kicks the winner in the last minute
2009 - Same for Jack Anthony's Collingwood
2012 - Prelim loss to hawks by 5 points

And tonight. Also had close home wins vs Cats in 97 and dockers in 2012 and narrow losses to the saints in 2005 and eagles 2006. Jesus Crows you sure make for entertaining footy!

Great win tonight!
