Moved Thread Post your apologies to the Crows here...

[Masto]

Yeah nah.

 

[final fight]

They did have a soft draw but tonights performance with the umps as pathetic as they were was quality. They are a quality team. Tex walker is a quality player. Good franchise.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Still didn't deserve to play in a Prelim after playing Port, GWS and Gold Coast twice, 6 easy wins, so sorry I'm not sorry

 

[Sprout]

I'll admit that was a mammoth effort from the Crowbots to keep coming all game. Fans should feel immensely proud of their efforts.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Irrespecitve of the loss tonight I reckon around 80% of Big Footy members should post their apologies to the Adelaide Crows in this thread. If they haven't gained your respect tonight then you have no right to call yourself a footy fan.

EDIT - for those too thick to realise what the apology is for, by my reckoning 80% of BF posters have claimed we did not deserve to be a top 4 side and only got there cause of the soft draw.

Way to make us dislike you even more.

 

[Heartnet]

Really no need for apologies. Its understandable considering our draw was piss easy in comparison to the other top 4 sides. Just gutted atm, but extremely proud.

 

[Chinners100]

Unlucky crows, you guys showed us why your a top 2 team.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

So because hawthorn couldn't kick straight the crows have to accept momentum losses and loss of possession due to umpiring?

Started with the 50 against McKay for a goal and got worse

And the free kick reverse against Shoenmakers was nothing right?

 

[Military_man]

people were saying the same thing in 07 when Collingwood almost won. Hawks clearly struggled with the week off, but they will be better of after an intense game

Swans had a intense game too just not as bruising. Injuries will hamper hawks next week.. Swans are really hot at the moment can't see the Hawks of today beating the Swans of last night

 

[muzzington]

You can stuff your sorries in a sack mister.

 

[Evelyn208]

My opinion hasn't changed. You got close to a side who kicked 19 behinds. You're lucky they made you look good.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Certainly don't want to see Hawk fans sooking about umpires for a while. They carried them over the line.

 

[ziad]

sorry you lost

suck it up

 

[Spoken4]

Nothing to apologise for. I rated Adelaide all year and still do. Fantastic 2012 performance.

 

[sidneyshaw]

Dear Adelaide FC & supporters,

On behalf of someone whom enjoys a fair contest and impartial umpiring I apologise for what occurred this evening.

Normally in a sporting environment we find ourselves governed by those that strive for equality - unfortunately for you the powers that be wanted a powerhouse vic club in the grand final.

I would like to tell you that this wont happen again. But I can't.


Keep strong Adelaide

 

[Lions_Fan]

The only reason I won't apologize is I never said anything about the soft draw. You can only beat who's put in front of you and Adelaide did that and more. They truly are a quality side and could have easily won tonight. But they didn't, and blaming the umpires is utter crap.
Cannot wait for the GF. Don't get to cocky anyone. The score starts at 0-0. The only certainties in life are death and taxes. Good job Hawthorn

 

[jko'neal]

Had a great year, surprised me. Best thing they did was got rid of Craig and his hold-save gameplan.

 

[Wood_Duck]

Close this thread, its stupid.

 

[Gongswan]

They'll have to settle for a moral victory

Is that you plugger

 

[bugalugs213]

Sorry you couldn't beat the Hawks when they were below they're best.
Better luck in 2013.

 

[Axle17]

Wtf.. Appologise for what?

 

[Father Jack]

How the bloody hell did the umpires help Adelaide? If Hawthorn hadn't forgotten which posts to kick between they'd have won by six goals

 

[sidneyshaw]

And the free kick reverse against Shoenmakers was nothing right?

Shoemakers is always in the wrong. Even when he is right he is wrong

 

[HugeJohnson]

Nup **** yas got no respect for that plastic franchise formed out of spite. Franchise ****ing plastic team get away from the real "clubs" arseholes.

 

[BLPC08]

Why the f*** should anyone bar Matthew f***ing Nicholls apologise? Horrible thread!
