If the mighty blues can beat the Swans then we might loss the wooden spoon which would be great because the past 2 games against Melbourne and Adelaide should have been wins. So this one could be ours for the taking, then another for the taking against Brisbane :) :)

disagree. We only played one quarter against the Demons when the game was over and the first 3 quarters where we were belted was a true indication of where we are at present. Against Adelaide we were competitive but in the end outclassed by a better team. Just look at the number of scoring shots the Crows had! :(
 
i have to agree but the umpires in the adelaide game had some crazy decisions in the last 10 minutes of the last quater :) :)

The Ricciotto decision cost us. Definitely not a mark which resulted in a goal. Probably stopped our momentum after we dominated the first part of the last quarter. Really that was the only really bad decision. We must remember Fev got one from a free kick as well as Lance. If we were good enough we would have responded after that goal but it just opened the floodgates.
 
Whatever happens we badly need that priority pick even if that means finishing on the bottom more than 5 1/2 wins this year could hurt us in the long term.
 
Not winning more than 5 1/2 games is the first piece of the puzzle... Then we have to survive a team of AFL auditors, elbow length rubber gloves and an intense audit of every receipt from player payments down to hotdog receipts. This will go from the last day of the season until about 3 hours before the draft.. If they cant find anything, then the next three hours will be explaining why we didnt select Russell and Norman all year to avoid being penalised draft picks due to 'tanking'... paranoid rant off....
 
we need to win than 5 1/2 games because last year we won 10 games and need to win more than that this year because we r picked to win more than 10 games :cool: :eek:

An Livo getting dragged down as the goal went through.
And Biglands playing on and not getting pinned after a tackle and incorrect disposal, instead the crows kicking it inside 50 (mark and goal)
And McLeod's throw just outside 50, which resulted in a goal.

Not excuses, just annoying.
 
Adelaide were clearly the better side, we were pretty lucky to get that close. You could sit down and disect every single game of footy and say if only the ump didn't pay this or that.... the crows would say exactly the same thing as to why they didn't win by more.
