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

[santa claws]

the right team won it would have been a travesty if the hawks lost that game. if they finish their work of just a bit better its a blow out instead it stays tight on the scoreboard and a remains a tihght game only because they dont take the opportunities they created.

 

[Bardo State]

They played well but let's not get carried away

Adelaide played out of their skins and the Hawks mad many uncharacteristic mistakes

I probably under rated them but they are still a level below Sydney and Hawthorn

 

[Aucklander]

I thought Adelaide had a soft draw and it had helped them to their position on the ladder. With that said, they were great tonight and credit to them on their efforts for the year.

If your shell corporation played with a tenth of the passion and commitment we did today in 07 maybe your shell corporation wouldn't be the basket case it is now.

Pretty sure we won the Prelim in 07.


Crows deserved top 4 as they beat Sydney, thumped West Coast, thumped Geelong, beat Freo, beat St Kilda, thrashed Carlton when they were flag favourites.

Aside from Hawthorn and Collingwood they beat all their main competitiors.

 

[Coaster2012]

you do realize if hawks had just kicked a little straighter crows would of been annihilated, it was like 68% in hawks forward 50, so no apologies. shit thread

Thank god the hawks avoided the choke, would have been a shame to see the 6th best side for the year make the grand final.

How'd the GF go? Even you can admit you haven't been the same since.

No doubt.

Doughty spent his last game putting knees into Cyril's back ...

 

[SA HAWK]

Crows are a much better team than a lot of people outside of South Australia give them credit for.

Their time will come soon.

All and sundry here are saying that the Hawks' poor kicking and more inside-50s showed that they should have won by more. In the eyes of non-Hawthorn supporters, this clearly showed that Sando won the tactical battle. Sent numbers back into the Hawks' attack so that their inside-50s were less efficient, then we hurt them on the counter attack. Plus when they did get it forward, we pressured the s*** out of them and forced them out wide and continually made them kick for goal from tight angles.

So inside 50s and scoring shots are irrelevant here, the Crows put in a brilliant effort when everyone on BF, and the footy community, wrote them off. Bravo Crows, you did me proud and showed that heart and effort make up for the 'Hollywood' Hawks.

 

[Crowbling]

No doubt.

Why aren't you acting like a toss?

 

[QS]

This is more a Bay thread one would've thought....

 

[Macca19]

Why aren't you acting like a toss?

Sorry. Do you want me to act like a tool?

Good post.

Whatever happened to 'bad kicking is bad footy'?
Can't help but feel that even if we did win tonight we still wouldn't have had any respect from many on here.

Where are all the smartarses who said we'd get absolutely pantsed?

Because Macca is actually well rounded with some very good opinions on footy. One of the very few Port posters who dont feel the need to troll Adel every time they post in a Crows thread

 

[Blaz]

I was going to give Adelaide credit but this stupid "please apologise" shit has put me off.

 

[Roo Lives Again]

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

we smashed the crap out of your team and you didn't make it further than we did so your argument has no merit

 

[Roo Lives Again]

I didn't realise there are Port fans who actually had brains...repsect

 

[Roo Lives Again]

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

well I lost count of the hawthorn fans who were all saying that we shouldn't even bother show up....I bet you and the other Hawks fans had liquid poo running down your leg until about 3 seconds to go in the last quarter

 

[Roo Lives Again]

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

ha ha ha ha leave it to a Port supporter to come up with random shite.....plastic franchise that has delivered far more than your pathetic little team that once the new television rights agreement is made will cease to exist...bye bye

 

[Roo Lives Again]

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

below their best? that's because of how well we played...Sydney will smash you pretenders next week

 

[Roo Lives Again]

I was going to give Adelaide credit but this stupid "please apologise" shit has put me off.

you should thank us for giving you a quality ruckman for virtually nothing

 

[Roo Lives Again]

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

**** off

if you are going to attack someone about brains, maybe spell respect correctly
