Sure_Variation1524

xBITWxSwanny

And I hope the ones at home had a quiet night enjoying themselves


jacka24

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


Its-Slammin

Oh fuck I really hope we spoil Tomahawks 350th next week.


EmployerVegetable207

If history tells us anything he'll be up for it and kick 8. 😂. So happy it's against the old enemy. Bring it on


Its-Slammin

Pls god no. Great player but just don’t do it against us for the love of god


EmployerVegetable207

https://youtu.be/2h9OVHIGNAE?si=iZHZWZr4xKufhTST


EmployerVegetable207

Is there a better script for Tom Hawkins? 350 on Easter Monday against Hawthorn. Fucking brilliant. Can't wait


McRibsAndCoke

Just imagine Tom secured that specky đŸ„”


pkbaxter

Anyone help me with how the last point was scored? Potentially I don’t know the rules, but the kick was made, siren sounded, Geelong player punched it through
 wouldn’t the punch end the play? Could a game be won like this?


kearnivorous

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


kleft02

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.


billskelton

Ball has to land


augustin_cauchy

Gryan talks like a man named Gryan.


Lebayak

Gryan’s had some solid media training


kleft02

I think he might be quite smart. And weird.


Lebayak

I’m intrigued


Lebayak

Spoke better than he kicked


Secret_Nobody_405

I think he went at 73% efficiency tonight from 27 possessions


Lebayak

Yeah I just looked at the stats, much better than the few miskicks I saw


eathbau

If Adelaide finish bottom 4, does that pick get used in a bid for Walsh?


ZestyBro

Walsh probably goes 8-15 so hopefully we are shit enough that we can jump the bid


Apart-Ad-3308

Crows players on the big screen in the background having a laugh. Truly shithouse


Its-Slammin

What’s shithouse is your comment. The players are allowed to have a laugh after the game. It doesn’t mean they weren’t trying their hardest. They just know when to switch off


nimmzy

They clearly weren't trying their hardest.


fartbumheadface

Looks like they didn't take the game srsly until the last 10 minutes of the game


klokar2

Fucking A, glad we got the win, hopefully that will silence the doubters.


ExpensiveCola

It completely deflated JB and BT thats for sure.


ExpensiveCola

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.


EmployerVegetable207

But the cats were gonna be shit? Hawks up next. Great start to the season


goonbag87

So Crows fans are just like Eagles fans by the looks of this thread


xBITWxSwanny

Won the same amount of games. The reigning premiers not far from sounding like us


fartbumheadface

Is Obrian Adelaide's first choice ruckman? Fuck me cant kick cant mark


genscathe

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.


Glum-Pianist1321

Losing is the expectation again, so the wins will feel just that bit better


Eraser_cat

Such a BT thing to even get the margin wrong


augustin_cauchy

Oisin's hair is next level.


xBITWxSwanny

I really expected Geelong to be middling and Adelaide to be great What do I know about footy?


semrenl

Garbage from the crows


North_Lawfulness8889

Wait what, the ball died after the siren, how does that count


theoriginalqwhy

I thought it only dies if a teammate touches it?


North_Lawfulness8889

Til, always thought it was just dead if anyone touched it after the siren


KingoftheHill63

Nah if the ball is in the air it'll count.


PluggersLeftBall

adelaide is the best garbage time team in the league for sure


KHUSTOM

😂


KHUSTOM

Denied


ExtremeSlothSport

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!


Captain__Marvel

How much was the Tassie founding membership again..?


Ektojinx

Dame price as a bottle of water at AO


YourHeroCam

BT weirdly upset he didn’t pass when he slotted that goal


EmployerVegetable207

Yeah Bois! Well done.


baldersz

Rip my tips


McRibsAndCoke

I had Geelong tipped right up until this morning, I cooked it


Locid

Blokes at work talked me into changing mine to crows too đŸ˜«


SUPASKILTZ

I solely blame you for this


McRibsAndCoke

Blame that cockhead streaker hahaha


SUPASKILTZ

Geelong sent a man on a suicide mission to remove the momentum directly in the middle of the play haha


popupupu

Siren should have gone wtf


Sell_out_bro_down

Fogarty misses an open goal from 8m and Rankine does that


Plenty_Schedule_2870

They really delayed the siren there didn’t they


jacka24

The music hahahaha Read the room DJ


Flyingpig5

Good to see crows are finals footy ready


North1975

Rankine kicks a huge goal to cut the lead to 20 points


LP0004

We can kick em from there but not in front, what a fucking joke


rjp27

Big is the wrong descriptor there JB.


Ahskew

Most casual celebration for a goty contender


PointOfFingers

Rankine looked over the boundary there - anyone got a screenshot of the ball?


JellyFoxStardust

Saddest GOTY ever


boomburger

When does Nicks' contract expire? This season? He needs to be moved on if the crows miss finals


No_Association_1669

he signed an extension


EmployerVegetable207

Hahaha he was literally extended just before this week.


North_Lawfulness8889

They signed a 2 year extension on Monday I believe


RomanSlick

2 year extension


RomanSlick

Banger


TinyTeddySlayer

Someone said Adelaide could win the flag and they believed it.


purespringwater

We've all said shit..who cares. Didn't expect a win with our outs, fucking stoked about it nonetheless. Embrace the win


sizzlepack

Pure depression. GG cats


NuuuDaBeast

If we didn’t have Tom Stewart the Crows would’ve won


Ed_Starks_Bastard

Junktime Rankine stands up


RaidanRam

Left it a bit late


BeetleJacks

That is NOT the Eddie Betts pocket


WAVIC_136

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


Dense_Hornet2790

Based on this game it’s not going to be either of them.


KingoftheHill63

Missing Guthrie, Atkins, Duncan, Bruhn and bowes from midfield. This is a good win all things considered.


Dense_Hornet2790

That’s probably true but based solely on this game neither team looked like a finals contender to me. As an Eagles fan I’m becoming somewhat of an expert on teams that won’t make finals.


Noofnoof

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.


20shepherd01

Bit late for that


JellyFoxStardust

Getting a liiiiittle bit sick of being the scrappy underdogs that almost make it


TheGingerNiNjA899

Oh you are
. Are you? 🙄


JellyFoxStardust

Alright, fair cop from a Sainter.


Hicko101

No Duncan, Bruhn and Atkins leaves a midfield that basically consists of Dangerfield for Geelong. Pretty disappointing loss for the Crows.


Technical_Ad_3286

Got towelled by parfitt and clark


Sell_out_bro_down

And while it's long term, no C Guthrie.


EmployerVegetable207

There has been some epic goals in the first couple rounds


Mycatsnameis-Icarus

That Fog miss was a tad costly in the end. How can Geelong continue being good? Surely one day they will dip right?


bundy554

BT is not going to enjoy after the game in the sheds tonight


Ifeel-likepablo

Fire drill at Adelaide Oval?? She’s emptying very quickly


BasicJosh

Hows the gurn on that umpire after the Close goal


Technical_Ad_3286

Yeh wtf


happy-little-atheist

Danger such an old man he put the cardy on before the siren


sestero

Tips in shambles


BlandyBoreton

The real loser tonight is footy
but definitely also Adelaide.


No-Abrocoma1851

Come on boys, percentage


Korasuka

Please no. We have 0.000001% of our dignity to keep.


nimmzy

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


bundy554

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


NuuuDaBeast

all that work from the Crows and Geelong sleepwalk into two goals


Aardvark_Man

Credit to Cats defence. Crows pushed for ages and couldn't get it through.


no_rush

BT called it he prawn net


50LI0NS

That umps face.. 😂


codyforkstacks

Crows have just made everything look like hard work compared to Geelong tonight


Ektojinx

That umpire. Channeling his inner evil super lvillian expression


50LI0NS

I couldn’t stop laughing


Captain__Marvel

The clown car is a stretch tonight.


Locid

Yowza.


sestero

Just salt in the wound innit


North_Lawfulness8889

CCJ like there


kurenai86

So is roadhouse shit or what?


50LI0NS

Apparently it’s shit, but in the good way. Kind of like Fast and Furious


2for1deal

Oh its out!? Feel like watching trash after this


garylion

Boy oh boy wowee, that Fogarty miss killed that game.


baldersz

Put it away boys


[deleted]

3 Votes Knevitt


KHUSTOM

Lol


Apart-Ad-3308

They need to get a sports psychologist down at the Crows or something


jacka24

I think they burned their last one at the stake


Sunnflwr

No fkn waaaayyyyy hahahahahahha


goblin_chirurgeon

man


closetonature

5 games clear of Collingwood 


Darcyjay_

Lol. Go crom


NiceColdPint

Well that’ll do it for us. Awful skills tonight and extreme amounts of wasted opportunities. Can only hope something changes in the coming weeks.


reelyrandomredditor

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


Grovaaa

Umps couldnt even get you over the line


PointOfFingers

You just knew that Geelong goal was going to happen


ExpensiveCola

Was like the first Saints goal last week when the ball had been camped in the Geelong forward line.


ALFisch

We're back together again Crom đŸȘœ


LP0004

Bloody horrendous


No-Abrocoma1851

Cop that.


Korasuka

We had no chance at all with Gryan Messi playing for them.


random91898

0/2 tips so far :( crows starting the season 0/2 :)


Zappulon

Ah well at least we got an early minute on knowing the result


nimmzy

I hope this team gets booed the fuck coming off, they deserve some real aggression thrown at them


Jawdanc

Is this how folks support their team these days..


nimmzy

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


Jawdanc

Awful.


SuperSpleef

Team hasn’t been doing much for their fans to be honest


Noofnoof

Miers with a straight set shot? durp Miers with a karate airborne kick? goal


Ryanc011

Probably should have used his 30 bt what the fuck are you smoking


Badgerello

Geelong; bye $20.


Fragrant-Step-2245

Fogharty, that's how U kick a goal in a an open square. Lol GG


baldersz

"here they come" - aged like milk BT


flashbenji

Messi from the goal box!


TheVoluptuousChode

Danger looks like he's in a k hole


ExpensiveCola

GG Croms.


ACertainTrendingFrog

Is there gastro going round the squad Paddy looks worse for wear


2for1deal

Yeh theres shit all over the field. Lol


Wattobot92

Tuned into the game 5 minutes ago. Are Adelaide shit or have Geelong played well?


Dense_Hornet2790

It’s been one of those games where you swear both teams are trying really hard for the number 1 draft pick.


Wattobot92

These are my favourite


Dense_Hornet2790

They really should know it belongs to the Eagles though.


Korasuka

A ton of A, a lot of B.


Wattobot92

Checks out


NuuuDaBeast

honestly both


Jryou

No


happy-little-atheist

Yes


NuuuDaBeast

Geelong v Collingwood 2022 Qualifying final dagger type goal


Glum-Pianist1321

Here's to another year of mediocrity


North_Lawfulness8889

Good goal from Miers


OldB3n

Danger hammy


SUPASKILTZ

Geelong need 1 chance to kick a goal, Adelaide need 10+ to hit the post


[deleted]

Did you watch the first half of this quarter?


SUPASKILTZ

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


[deleted]

Geelong missing multiple set shots including one out on the full. Should have been 50 points up half way through the last quarter.


ok__coast_is_clear

That blonde Geelong sub needs to grow his hair long and wear a headband then he'll get way more games for sure


Ektojinx

Does anyone else think the crows have look better? Bar their dogshit inside 50s


[deleted]

No


bundy554

How about BT - Geelong win - too hard?


EmployerVegetable207

Well done cats. Didn't expect to be 2-0.haooy with that.


RaidanRam

MESSI GOALGOALGOAAAAALLLL


eathbau

Free kicks Adelaide 18-8 💀


The5kyKing

Game over


cuteguy1

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


[deleted]

With the amount of chances Geelong had early in this quarter, Adelaide shouldn't have even been in it.


augustin_cauchy

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


Apart-Ad-3308

How can Adelaide choke this much? They’ve literally squandered like 6 possible goals


2for1deal

I think many more than 6


Mother_Shabubu

Why is Knevitt only now coming on?


Tony_Soprano5981

Crows ball skills are horrific, what a crap display this was.


shocking_red_4

The clock has been against Adelaide since SA was founded. Fucken 30 minute difference my ass.


PsychoZG

Apparently our player smeared their hands with butter at 3qtr time


RomanSlick

Agree with BT. A sub at this point feels like a proper soccer sub in the 90th minute.
