I didn’t see the whole game but 24-7 should raise questions.

 

[Schulzenfest]

They won close games unlike us. However the assistance they get would be lovely

Not a coincidence. If we got that assistance we'd win a lot more of the close games than we do.

 

[Pappagallo]

Crows stood up when it counted. I wish we did that more regularly.

Power stood up tonight.

 

[AwwThatsApples]

Hard to tell if GWS are really top four material after this match, GWS should've eaten up Adelaide's missed opportunities.
I bet they're just savouring all their good football for us again.

 

[Cuzz09]

So probably down to Port v Freo
For 8th spot Id say.

I hope Adelaide go to Geelong in a few weeks, and cop a 38-15 (why does that sound familiar) count against them.

The assistance they get would add 3 wins to their ledger per season.

 

[LFC2010]

Gill want em playing finals.

yep, it would be bad for the ratings if we got in over them. This is how fixed the comp is with Gillon running it. He's there for his boys and Foxtel his ex employee.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

JB still pumping up Tex

 

[TeeKray]

Galoot-cci

 

[Capital Power]

Whitfield, Greene and fair umpiring and GWS win that game.

I'm assuming that both will be back in time for us

 

[Janus]

Power is a new AFL field umpire that was promoted from the WAFL at the start of the year. So the maximum AFL matches he could have possibly umpired is 12.

He's not corrupt, he's just shit.

 

[philreich]

Both Walker and Betts (and Sloane for that matter) have actually done **** all but Will get all the plaudits. Razor Ray and his 2 mates have easily been better for the Crows.

Are umpires allowed to get votes at a team's B&F???

I never understand the free kick issue. What if there was legit 24 to 7 free kicks ?

It felt just as lopsided with ones that were missed too.

Walker caught cold spun 360 HTB = play on.

Kelly in a similar situation up the other end = immediate whistle

If it were a one off, no worries.

When it happens literally every time Adelaide or West Coast take the field in front of their home fans, it's much more dubious.

 

[PowerBaz]

I think people are pissed here cause they just did what we constantly fail to do.....

No doubt they want higher drawing teams up there.

They couldnt care less if NM, sTk, bulkdogs, port or Gold Coast stayed bottom 4 for decades.

Unless they are raking in the coin they wont help.

Its a joke of a comp

That felt eerily like a showdown script. I reckon Matthew Nicks is slowly creeping a bit of Hinkley ball into the Giants.

 

[Marmozet]

I'm assuming that both will be back in time for us

Yep...and the umpires will make up for reaming GWS in Adelaide the last time they were there.

Because people watched the game and aren’t merely reading off a sheet? It was a dishy dual rulebook special.

There really wasn’t

From the WAFL eh? Shocking he’s susceptible to a bit of crowd noise.
