Caller says the cows never have any early draft picks ? They were wooden spooners not that long ago!

They've won 26 of their last 81 games.

And they don't cop anywhere near the shit they deserve for winning the ultimate indignity the spoon. They're all 119 lol, but you won a ****in spoon you chumps. Our last spoon was in 1900.

 

[Rising Power]

I'm fully prepared to predict we wont make it. We will face Collingwood in a prelim at the G and get thumped.

Can feel it in my bones.

Yep Collingwood v Geelong GF for mine.

Well that takes the cake of selective memory right there

 

[gbear]

Finishing 9th would be nice. s**t draft pick and no finals.

They might be 13-14th next week if they lose again, don't want them getting a top 5 draft pick personally.

They play west coast again, so won’t finish lower than 14th.

I just threw up in my mouth thinking of that.

Why are we such softcocks here? We lost our first game since about march.

We swapped in a third of our team. It was basically a tank.

If butters can get back to some sort of form, and JHF comes back in, we are still in with a chance. You can bet we've circled next week in the fixture and took a bit of a Mulligan today. Wait til next week before writing us off totally.

Thank f$$k for GWS not making my weekend completely shizen.

Will the Adelaide media ever question Nicks and his tenure?

Please don’t, it is far more fun if they keep Nicks.

As much as the changes hurt us today, I’m not convinced having any combination of the 6 who went out would have altered the overall result.

We had too many players down.

Having said that, the guys who came in were a collective flop.

Lol Ryan you muppet

Very rare any team wins with that many changes, it can throw things off completely.

 

[Del165198]

I don't mind the giants. Best song in the comp and they play with a bit of spirit. Should move them to Tassie so they can have some real fans

Jonas completely threw our back 6 imo

Yes and McKenzie stabilises it.

The only 4 quarter effort game I can recall is the Melbourne game. The rest were frustrating squeak home wins against shit oppo and 1 quarter demolitions that got us home. Haven't had a settled side all season either but hopefully we right the ship on the injury/soreness/suspension/personal issues soon.

If I was new to Australia and looking for an AFL team to follow they'd be my pick.

Thats why the bookies moved us from about $1.65 to $1.96 within an hour of the teams being announced.

Must admit I've gone full El_Scorcho before and sung:

There's a big big sound in the Port of the town
It's the sound of the mighty Pirates

A one quarter demolition is enough. If you can hang in for 3 quarters and piss blast 8 goals in a quarter that's gonna win you 95% of games.

13 wins in a row is a ****ing good effort.

It's only a waste if we make it a waste. We're still in it.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Before 13 in a row, our best AFL effort was 8 in a row three different times.

We need to beat 8 in a row again and go 9 in a row, starting the streak next weekend.

 

[Palpatine_Power]

I gotta say the best part of Yonas being a complete crumpet was how he was trying to tell everyone where to be

Hilarious

Crows should have rested Sloan so he could play is 250th at the next home game against west coast.

 

[HugeJohnson]

If we wanted to rest Zak for a quarter we should have just gone all out and just rested him like the others and accepted a likely loss. What shits me off is Jackson Mead is running around like a headless chook in the forward line and wasn't even given a chance in the middle when the game was clearly out of reach. Hayes should have played again for Lycett, Jackson should have been given a chance and Wines a rest, Evans in for Rioli, Pasini over Jonas.
I could accept the loss much better if it was a blatant rest/experiment week. But it feels like we kind of just half assed it and couldn't decide what we wanted to do.
