Did they lose players to injury or just not good enough?

Really strange atmosphere at the game yesterday. Over 41k but I’ve never heard an Adelaide crowd so quiet.
After kicking 3 of the first 4 goals, it was as if word had filtered through that Melbourne had won in the West, snuffing out any faint finals chances we had. They looked disinterested, were second to the ball & at times looked lazy & disinterested.
I’m not sure what Brad said at 3QT but they were a different side the last half an hour and really should’ve won it in the end - turnovers killed us.
Disappointing not to play finals but they’re going to finish where I predicted at the start of the year, top half of the bottom 8.
If they happen to get Polec, his outside run will be welcomed (we’ll also hopefully get Tarryn Thomas via the Tassie academy).
On a side note, $10.20 for a f#cking beer yesterday!!!
How the hell do some of you do that every second week? Criminal.

It is, so, I suggest at least 3 before you get on the train/bus, two in the Game Day Village ( Coopers Sessions are $8 cans ) before the game, sit on one un-godly Draught through the first quarter, race out at the 20 minute mark of the 2nd quarter and get two more Sessions in at half time and if you so desire one more Draught for the last half.

Alternatively the hip flask holds 4 stiff* bourbons or CC's for the colder nights.

Yep except for the last quarter it seemed everyone was disinterested, both teams and crowd alike.

And yep $10.20 for a beer is criminal.

We used to wander in maybe half hour to an hour before the game, and have a beer or two there.

Now we go somewhere else and basically arrive right on game time

Don’t mind paying moderately expensive prices , but it really is ridiculous.

Have they gone up again?!?
Were $9.40 when I was last there in round 2.

I saw some of the game on tv, what were the Crows fans booing at?

Crows make a GF, 2018 expectations are just as high, Roos favorites for the spoon.

Who will finish higher?


likely Adelaide if you lose to St Kilda which is a possibility the way North are playing

$9.40 for ironjack (mid strength)
$9.80 for a super dry
$10.20 for their “craft” beers which are james squire pale or porter, little creatures Rogers or furphy.

James squire porter wins but it’s still daylight robbery

The AFL media again.....

Few weeks back lauding the Freo rebuild under Lyon and having a go at our rebuild. Now they're asking questions as to leadership after Freo's capituation to the Cats down there.

Everyone has a bad week, so why does the media have to jump on top of a team that's had a bad week? Clickbait?
