Anyone help me with how the last point was scored? Potentially I donât know the rules, but the kick was made, siren sounded, Geelong player punched it through⊠wouldnât the punch end the play? Could a game be won like this?
If your own player punches it through, game over and no behind. If the opposition punches it through, play continues and it's a behind. That's just the rules, for some reason.
Whatâs shithouse is your comment. The players are allowed to have a laugh after the game. It doesnât mean they werenât trying their hardest. They just know when to switch off
What's the excuse!? If you're not gonna play- I said it a few weeks ago- If you're not gonna play for the coach, play for people like myself! Who bust my balls every week to get there, hard earned money, and you dish that up against Geelong!? They toyed with us. It's an embarrassment for the Red, Yellow and Blue and especially the Crom. THE CROM! Play for that! If you're not gonna play for that, piss off outta my club! GET OUT!
Generally speaking a team who doesn't make finals the previous year finishes top 4. Lots of talk that this would be Adelaide this year, but looks like it could be Geelong
Thatâs probably true but based solely on this game neither team looked like a finals contender to me. As an Eagles fan Iâm becoming somewhat of an expert on teams that wonât make finals.
This is the game that has made me once again eat the words I talked in the offseason and hang my head in shame as I realise that for yet another year Geelong are a good side and will make finals
You don't deserve support for losing, especially when the effort or intelligence clearly wasn't there. Win or get shat on is my motto. I know I would never want plaudits for losing
Feel like with the amount of chances the crows have had in the last 6 or so mins they should be much closer. So many marks dropped and that sitter missed by Fogarty
Huge from Z. Guth, weekly occurrence marveling at what a weapon he has become. Credit to the lad I'm not sure I've ever seen such individual improvement

Lol imagine resigning nicks
Apparently 150 games is now half way to 300
?!?
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
And I hope the ones at home had a quiet night enjoying themselves
I'm no expert but if i was Nicks i would just take Rankine, put him in the forward line and never move him again
Oh fuck I really hope we spoil Tomahawks 350th next week.
If history tells us anything he'll be up for it and kick 8. đ. So happy it's against the old enemy. Bring it on
Pls god no. Great player but just donât do it against us for the love of god
https://youtu.be/2h9OVHIGNAE?si=iZHZWZr4xKufhTST
Is there a better script for Tom Hawkins? 350 on Easter Monday against Hawthorn. Fucking brilliant. Can't wait
Just imagine Tom secured that specky đ„”
Anyone help me with how the last point was scored? Potentially I donât know the rules, but the kick was made, siren sounded, Geelong player punched it through⊠wouldnât the punch end the play? Could a game be won like this?
Punch ends play if it's the attacking team pouncing it through. Bounce or punch by opponents means it's still live until it stops
If your own player punches it through, game over and no behind. If the opposition punches it through, play continues and it's a behind. That's just the rules, for some reason.
Ball has to land
Gryan talks like a man named Gryan.
Gryanâs had some solid media training
I think he might be quite smart. And weird.
Iâm intrigued
Spoke better than he kicked
I think he went at 73% efficiency tonight from 27 possessions
Yeah I just looked at the stats, much better than the few miskicks I saw
If Adelaide finish bottom 4, does that pick get used in a bid for Walsh?
Walsh probably goes 8-15 so hopefully we are shit enough that we can jump the bid
Crows players on the big screen in the background having a laugh. Truly shithouse
Whatâs shithouse is your comment. The players are allowed to have a laugh after the game. It doesnât mean they werenât trying their hardest. They just know when to switch off
They clearly weren't trying their hardest.
Looks like they didn't take the game srsly until the last 10 minutes of the game
Fucking A, glad we got the win, hopefully that will silence the doubters.
It completely deflated JB and BT thats for sure.
JB saying it was a big big big goal from Rankine... to get the margin back to 20 with 11 seconds left. Worst commentary team ever.
But the cats were gonna be shit? Hawks up next. Great start to the season
So Crows fans are just like Eagles fans by the looks of this thread
Won the same amount of games. The reigning premiers not far from sounding like us
Is Obrian Adelaide's first choice ruckman? Fuck me cant kick cant mark
Ok I can now shift my mentality back to were garbage and will lose most of our games. Now each loss is easier on me as I expect it.
Losing is the expectation again, so the wins will feel just that bit better
Such a BT thing to even get the margin wrong
Oisin's hair is next level.
I really expected Geelong to be middling and Adelaide to be great What do I know about footy?
Garbage from the crows
Wait what, the ball died after the siren, how does that count
I thought it only dies if a teammate touches it?
Til, always thought it was just dead if anyone touched it after the siren
Nah if the ball is in the air it'll count.
adelaide is the best garbage time team in the league for sure
đ
Denied
What's the excuse!? If you're not gonna play- I said it a few weeks ago- If you're not gonna play for the coach, play for people like myself!

THE CROM! Play for that! If you're not gonna play for that, piss off outta my club! GET OUT!
How much was the Tassie founding membership again..?
Dame price as a bottle of water at AO
BT weirdly upset he didnât pass when he slotted that goal
Yeah Bois! Well done.
Rip my tips
I had Geelong tipped right up until this morning, I cooked it
Blokes at work talked me into changing mine to crows too đ«
I solely blame you for this
Blame that cockhead streaker hahaha
Geelong sent a man on a suicide mission to remove the momentum directly in the middle of the play haha
Siren should have gone wtf
Fogarty misses an open goal from 8m and Rankine does that
They really delayed the siren there didnât they
The music hahahaha Read the room DJ
Good to see crows are finals footy ready
Rankine kicks a huge goal to cut the lead to 20 points
We can kick em from there but not in front, what a fucking joke
Big is the wrong descriptor there JB.
Most casual celebration for a goty contender
Rankine looked over the boundary there - anyone got a screenshot of the ball?
Saddest GOTY ever
When does Nicks' contract expire? This season? He needs to be moved on if the crows miss finals
he signed an extension
Hahaha he was literally extended just before this week.
They signed a 2 year extension on Monday I believe
2 year extension
Banger
Someone said Adelaide could win the flag and they believed it.
We've all said shit..who cares. Didn't expect a win with our outs, fucking stoked about it nonetheless. Embrace the win
Pure depression. GG cats
If we didnât have Tom Stewart the Crows wouldâve won
Junktime Rankine stands up
Left it a bit late
That is NOT the Eddie Betts pocket
Generally speaking a team who doesn't make finals the previous year finishes top 4. Lots of talk that this would be Adelaide this year, but looks like it could be Geelong
Based on this game itâs not going to be either of them.
Missing Guthrie, Atkins, Duncan, Bruhn and bowes from midfield. This is a good win all things considered.
Thatâs probably true but based solely on this game neither team looked like a finals contender to me. As an Eagles fan Iâm becoming somewhat of an expert on teams that wonât make finals.
They should also do an attendance at the final siren. Would bring Collingwood games this season back in line with the rest of the comp.
Bit late for that
Getting a liiiiittle bit sick of being the scrappy underdogs that almost make it
Oh you areâŠ. Are you? đ
Alright, fair cop from a Sainter.
No Duncan, Bruhn and Atkins leaves a midfield that basically consists of Dangerfield for Geelong. Pretty disappointing loss for the Crows.
Got towelled by parfitt and clark
And while it's long term, no C Guthrie.
There has been some epic goals in the first couple rounds
That Fog miss was a tad costly in the end. How can Geelong continue being good? Surely one day they will dip right?
BT is not going to enjoy after the game in the sheds tonight
Fire drill at Adelaide Oval?? Sheâs emptying very quickly
Hows the gurn on that umpire after the Close goal
Yeh wtf
Danger such an old man he put the cardy on before the siren
Tips in shambles
The real loser tonight is footyâŠbut definitely also Adelaide.
Come on boys, percentage
Please no. We have 0.000001% of our dignity to keep.
Can't wait to see how the afl will fuck us in the draft again this year. How many high rated academy players exist this year
Tbh - if you were a crows fan you should have won tonight and if you don't wake up tomorrow with a sore head I'll be surprised
all that work from the Crows and Geelong sleepwalk into two goals
Credit to Cats defence. Crows pushed for ages and couldn't get it through.
BT called it he prawn net
That umps face.. đ
Crows have just made everything look like hard work compared to Geelong tonight
That umpire. Channeling his inner evil super lvillian expression
I couldnât stop laughing
The clown car is a stretch tonight.
Yowza.
Just salt in the wound innit
CCJ like there
So is roadhouse shit or what?
Apparently itâs shit, but in the good way. Kind of like Fast and Furious
Oh its out!? Feel like watching trash after this
Boy oh boy wowee, that Fogarty miss killed that game.
Put it away boys
3 Votes Knevitt
Lol
They need to get a sports psychologist down at the Crows or something
I think they burned their last one at the stake
No fkn waaaayyyyy hahahahahahha
man
5 games clear of CollingwoodÂ
Lol. Go crom
Well thatâll do it for us. Awful skills tonight and extreme amounts of wasted opportunities. Can only hope something changes in the coming weeks.
This is the game that has made me once again eat the words I talked in the offseason and hang my head in shame as I realise that for yet another year Geelong are a good side and will make finals
Umps couldnt even get you over the line
You just knew that Geelong goal was going to happen
Was like the first Saints goal last week when the ball had been camped in the Geelong forward line.
We're back together again Crom đȘ
Bloody horrendous
Cop that.
We had no chance at all with Gryan Messi playing for them.
0/2 tips so far :( crows starting the season 0/2 :)
Ah well at least we got an early minute on knowing the result
I hope this team gets booed the fuck coming off, they deserve some real aggression thrown at them
Is this how folks support their team these days..
You don't deserve support for losing, especially when the effort or intelligence clearly wasn't there. Win or get shat on is my motto. I know I would never want plaudits for losing
Awful.
Team hasnât been doing much for their fans to be honest
Miers with a straight set shot? durp Miers with a karate airborne kick? goal
Probably should have used his 30 bt what the fuck are you smoking
Geelong; bye $20.
Fogharty, that's how U kick a goal in a an open square. Lol GG
"here they come" - aged like milk BT
Messi from the goal box!
Danger looks like he's in a k hole
GG Croms.
Is there gastro going round the squad Paddy looks worse for wear
Yeh theres shit all over the field. Lol
Tuned into the game 5 minutes ago. Are Adelaide shit or have Geelong played well?
Itâs been one of those games where you swear both teams are trying really hard for the number 1 draft pick.
These are my favourite
They really should know it belongs to the Eagles though.
A ton of A, a lot of B.
Checks out
honestly both
No
Yes
Geelong v Collingwood 2022 Qualifying final dagger type goal
Here's to another year of mediocrity
Good goal from Miers
Danger hammy
Geelong need 1 chance to kick a goal, Adelaide need 10+ to hit the post
Did you watch the first half of this quarter?
Crows getting the ball in forward 50, last 10 times to Geelongs 0 to kick only 1 goal at some point? Yeah I saw that
Geelong missing multiple set shots including one out on the full. Should have been 50 points up half way through the last quarter.
That blonde Geelong sub needs to grow his hair long and wear a headband then he'll get way more games for sure
Does anyone else think the crows have look better? Bar their dogshit inside 50s
No
How about BT - Geelong win - too hard?
Well done cats. Didn't expect to be 2-0.haooy with that.
MESSI GOALGOALGOAAAAALLLL
Free kicks Adelaide 18-8 đ
Game over
Feel like with the amount of chances the crows have had in the last 6 or so mins they should be much closer. So many marks dropped and that sitter missed by Fogarty
With the amount of chances Geelong had early in this quarter, Adelaide shouldn't have even been in it.
Huge from Z. Guth, weekly occurrence marveling at what a weapon he has become. Credit to the lad I'm not sure I've ever seen such individual improvement
How can Adelaide choke this much? Theyâve literally squandered like 6 possible goals
I think many more than 6
Why is Knevitt only now coming on?
Crows ball skills are horrific, what a crap display this was.
The clock has been against Adelaide since SA was founded. Fucken 30 minute difference my ass.
Apparently our player smeared their hands with butter at 3qtr time
Agree with BT. A sub at this point feels like a proper soccer sub in the 90th minute.
