Get around the bulldogs boys!! Sadly we are no chance next week... just like we were no chance against West Coast in Perth then no chance against the Hawks on the MCG and some even though the Giants would run us ragged... so yep, no chance it is!!!

Not in a million years.

Speaking of Crows, there are now only three other AFL clubs who haven't played off in an AFL grand final since the Crows last appearance in 1998.
They are : Richmond, Gold Coast and GWS. Equalisation works or is all the Crows hype in SA a bit of yesterday's hero :-?


Hard to argue with :D

Just hoping the ol' ticker makes it through next Saturday. Last night, I think my heart raced harder during that last quarter than Phar Lap did not long before our last premiership! ;)

On the game it was all heart in the end. Dogs were tired but a team that plays for each other keeps on fighting as to not let there mates down.

Tom Boyd while not a star stood up in the ruck last night. Didnt win the ruck but managed to blanket Mumford and Lobb enough to stop that being a factor.

Had, went all in the past we are talking current day droughts
Facts remain Richmond and Adelaide are on the same page, both the only modern day basket cases.
But you Crows stooges keep believing your club is successful because thats what they tell you. Ignorance is bliss :D

Current day? How does it become a drought if you don't regard the past?

Ignorance is not recognising that Hawthorn has the worst record of all the clubs from their beginning to their first premiership or grand final appearance.

I do know a lot about crap records in football but nothing to do with the crows.

Are your ears painted on, youre not picking up what im putting down. You are the ignorant pricks who are changing the basis of the argument to suit your own agenda.
I'll type slow for the intellectually challenged, the Crows have the second longest current Grand Final appearance drought behind Richmond. That means clubs that you poke fun at like Carlton Essendon and Melbourne who are universally agreed as being basket cases have been run better since 99 than yours. Why isnt the Crows mentioned in the same breath as these? They should be, but that wouldnt sell papers. They are continually talked up in the Adelaide media and you fall for it hook line and sinker. The players also drink their own bath water because of this. Most arrogant club in the AFL

At least we have a reason to be arrogant.
Since the dogs last GF we have played in 18 for 13 flags or one every 3 years on average.
Since the Crows last GF we have played in 5 for 4 flags, only one every 3.5 years, we are clearly on the slide.
By the way how good was it to see Geelong with Patrick "me, me, me" Dangerfield go back the sort of game we expected of them in the late 80's and 90's? You would think they wouldve learnt that one superstar doesnt win you flags

Shaw and Johnson are up there being flogs. Its not hard to see why Toby Greene gets himself into trouble on and off the field. He seems to be that sort of guy that well you just want to punch. Cameron was pretty mouthy for a guy that hardly touched the ball all night.

But are there fans arrogant, don't know, haven't met one yet.....
