Yeah this had nothing to do with the opposition pressure We got lucky and caught you in a bad week, otherwise it would have been 1000 points right?

What Adelaide did? Caught Collingwood playing poorly... Grats.
which is interesting because it was a box of self-admitted, card carrying Collingwood haters. didn't really hear it myself, but getting quartermain, walls or lane to praise anything Collingwood is usually like getting blood from a stone. they hate us.
It wasn't so much that they were barracking for Collingwood as much as it was that they were not giving any credit to the Crows for anything we did. Everything that went right for Collingwood was because Collingwood are great, and anything that went right for us was that Collingwood are not great at the moment. They routinely commented how "once Collingwood gets up and running", we were going to get run off the park.
They went into the game declaring the Crows were no chance whatsoever and they commented the entire match in that same frame of mind, attributing every Crows effort to a lack of effort from Collingwood.
Unfortunately, most commentary teams seem to do this for each match - decide pregame a theme or story for the game/night, and follow it through to the absolute end. It all starts with the intros to the coverage, and often spoils the game. If the game goes to that plan, it makes it easier for them to commentate.
I don't know if my mind was playing up but did Tim Lane really say at one stage "Port Adelaide are 11 points up". Is it just me or did he really say that? If he did, that that is pathetic.
