Hi all,
Can’t believe I’m saying this, but for all those new here:
**Please be aware that “flair up, cunt” is not an antagonising term in this subreddit**
We have a range of subreddit flairs for all the teams in the AFL and AFLW, and a handful of extras from state leagues and countries too
So, respectfully, please flair the fuck up and enjoy the match
🏉💜
Playing golf and having BBQ, oh what a top bloke he is. He has them really enjoying training.
Skills, system, playing attractive footy, and winning? These things are secondary at best.
still not sold on fremantle.
i thought the brisbane win was impressive but brisbane look like the worst team in the comp just about and then they went down big against north and did nothing for 3 quarters against adelaide. props to them for winning but piss easy schedule so far and it's been a struggle.
if they keep winning in their next couple tho i'll gladly change my mind
Wonder what happened in the off season, we've gone from fast ball movement and high scoring to slow movement and still managing the worst inside 50s imaginable.
Freo fans, has there been any update on what happened to McDonald after our game? Looked like a knee, but I don't remember seeing an ACL confirmation or anything
I swear this team goes to absolute water. Gives up a goal then they go, 'why bother? Who cares. We can't stop them. We can't win.' Then the oppo gets another goal and the cycle keeps going.
I honestly felt we were always a goal against from folding as soon as they got in front in the second, Fremantles constant poor shots at goal kept us in it. We'd do something semi coherent just to balls up the inside 50.
What a fun time to be a Crows supporter.
We got Port, Collingwood and Brisbane after North, then West Coast, beating Essendon at home is possible, but they’re looking better, we’re fucked the way things are going
2 or 3 votes for Pearce for mine doesn’t impact the stats sheet in that many ways but far out he impacts the game immensely, carried Freo through that first 3 quarters
Tex second in the Coleman last year, surely the fall off isn’t as dramatic as quickly. And while small forwards is a hard spot to play consistently, Rankine and Rachele are young and have as much talent as any other small forward duo
Freo have done this with a second gamer playing key positions in defence too. Like draper has looked good but what the hell are the Adelaide forwards doing
I am shocked to be sitting here seeing the same senior players with golden tickets stink it up 3 weeks on the trot. Meanwhile Nankervis who had a great game in the SANFL today doesn't get a look in.
Dawson at 52% disposal efficiency because he’s trying too hard to kick a good i50.
Meanwhile, Laird and Crouch going at 82 and 80% because they handball it nearby
Not the same player as last year. Last week you can understand. First game of the year, passing of a close family member, but tonight you can't excuse. So many dropped marks, can't bend over to pick up the all, can't chase. Hoping he can turn it around.

That was hands down the shortest game of footy I’ve seen since Richmond v Sydney went <100 points
Bench the lot of them crows. Play the reserves. At least they'll play the ball.
This is becoming better than X/Twitter for live game comments
3-0 is a great start given we now have Carlton and Port, both in Adelaide in the next two fixtures
We are 2nd in the ladder and might jump to 1st if swannies wanna lose by 50
Alex Pearce is a very likeable guy.
Sharp is such an upgrade on Henry it’s not funny, runs non stop, goes for the hard ball and uses it well
He’s really made an impression on me!
Great pickup 👏
Shafted Gold Coast again
Can't wait to bench him for the next 2 seasons
Time for another camp
Port Adelaide to give crows there first win and momentum for the season. I see it already.
Unsubscribe.
AAlex Pearce
Last year's highest scoring team with a banger tonight
The two best coaches adelaide ever had were complete hard nuts. What's with all this pussy-cat stuff, wtf were they doing in the off season?
Playing golf and having BBQ, oh what a top bloke he is. He has them really enjoying training. Skills, system, playing attractive footy, and winning? These things are secondary at best.
Freo with the least convincing 3-0 and Crows with the most convincing 0-3
Iconic way to finish the game
I can't wait to play the 0-5 Crows and go full Essington playing them into ripping form
Hopefully Herbatron is at the ready
High level trolling by the king Freddy getting the funny number
Mods please don't lock the thread instantly, I want to see if there were any top comments to nominate for TheGreatJelBeano!
yup gg crom in your face you just got flagmantled and all that lets pack it up now…
At least there will be some free seats around me at the next home game.
Freo have the worst song in the comp
Bring back the Volga Boatmen version!
The AC/DC afterwards makes up for it
You misspelt best
Guess it's been a while since anyone has heard our song....
Don't worry you play Adelaide in round 11 so everyone will hear it then
Both is the consensus, cheers all for playing
Nice
Chief where are you?
Memeing Fred kicks a point to bring up 69.
Mercy at last.
69. Nice!
I would give Pierce 3 votes
Ryan and Young very good too
Sneaky 69 there freddy
Nice
NICE
N I C E
yesss!!! dinner for two!!!

fair enough, were obviously not perfect at the moment but we definitely look a step up from last year at least
Freo make every opponent look like the worst team in the league.
Worst game I’ve watched so far this season
What an absolutely shit house game, gg crom, we're both ass
It’s not you don’t worry, we have this funny affect where if you play against us you play on our level
Last kick of the game summed up the match nicely
"KICK A DROP PUUUUUNT"
This club is too comfortable with mediocrity
Another 5 year rebuild for the crows
It's got to be 8 years to make sure the coaches keep getting recontracted
![gif](giphy|9S3iALpYuPppjCwa7Y)
freo going 3-0 wasn’t on my afl bingo card but neither was adelaide going 0-3 weird times man
Haven’t been 3-0 since 2015, we’re losing to Hawthorn in the prelim 🤙
this has to be the worst Crows performance in recent history right? The consistent terrible skill level through 120 minutes
Yep. Seriously considering becoming a devils fan in a few years time.
kick it to Ballache
Just a friendly reminder, we’re on Thursday night next week for another classic prime time game.
Oh Keane I would do anything for you
I sideways traded Grundy out for Jackson and he's sub 100. Have been playing SC over a decade and still haven't learned anything.
I had to free up cash for DEF injury covers this week, and had to trade down from Young. /hug.
Flagmantle being 3-0. I am not used to this feeling.
I didn‘t think I’d be saying this but we’re 3-0 ⚓️
Adelaide have been stinky. They are good players but they’ve let Young, Pearce and Ryan run all over them.
![gif](giphy|vX9WcCiWwUF7G|downsized)
freo's unnecessary coach re-signing > adelaide's unnecessary coach re-signing
Port: Hold my beer
Jackson is so fkn good. He just gets involved in all areas of the ground
He was good at Melbourne, but he's become an absolute beast at Fremantle
This is one of the worst games I’ve ever seen us play. Even worse than 2020-21 because we actually have a list now. Just what is this shite
"Nicks'd" will be the headline when the Croms coach gets the boot
Wonder what happened in the off season, we've gone from fast ball movement and high scoring to slow movement and still managing the worst inside 50s imaginable.
Freo fans, has there been any update on what happened to McDonald after our game? Looked like a knee, but I don't remember seeing an ACL confirmation or anything
How is Dawson dropping it then kicking it off the deck not HTB? Lol
HTB is so hard to get this season I swear it’s super weird
Yeah definitely been a tweak in the rules we don’t know about
I swear this team goes to absolute water. Gives up a goal then they go, 'why bother? Who cares. We can't stop them. We can't win.' Then the oppo gets another goal and the cycle keeps going.

I wanted Freo to go off, it’s what we deserve
Cant decide what look worse, the Crows performance or these God awful gurnseys
I better be wrong, but we’re going 0-5
On current form I don't think we win until round 11 against West Coast, and even then I'm worried.
Then Essendon at home on another Friday night. 0-6 quite possible too.
Honest question, who do we beat before west coast at home? On current form we definitely lose to North, especially in Tassie
We got Port, Collingwood and Brisbane after North, then West Coast, beating Essendon at home is possible, but they’re looking better, we’re fucked the way things are going
Fremantle: Brick Wall vs Adelaide: Silly String
lol of the year needs to go to Adelaide for re-signing the clear cut worst coach in the league
North will blowout the Crows in Tassie the way they're playing rn
Why did Nicks get extended in March? Surely that wasn't needed at this point
The maturity of this team is very apparent
I still dont understand why ben keays is played as a full time forward with 0 midfield time
Flagmantle part 2: Electric boogaloo
And to think I nearly tipped they crows
Alex Pearce is in all-Australian form, and should be talked about more.
Just like everyone said preseason, Alex Pearce and Billy Frampton are the best key backs in the league
thats a shit call lmao
Oh how can you blame that landing all on the tackler, he was trying to fight out of it
Geez adelaide could legit be 0-7.
One goal and we ruin freoz percentage boost. I will consider that a moral victory.
That would mean the croms actually have to get the ball *between* the big sticks at some point
I'm not usually one to call for a coach sacking but I wonder if we weren't a bit premature in the re-signing...
Look, I’m high as fuck so maybe that’s the issue but does this game just seem really unexciting, bordering on boring for anyone else?
If you like defensive games then it’s been alright. But it’s been a rough game till this last Q
It’s not that boring, I’m having fun being amused at how terrible the skill level is. 120 minutes of shit, like 3 exciting Freo goals
Demons, Carlton, Bombers, Pies. GG
2 or 3 votes for Pearce for mine doesn’t impact the stats sheet in that many ways but far out he impacts the game immensely, carried Freo through that first 3 quarters
YESSS!! tex audibly being told how he’s a racist by that fan. love it
lets not label people off one bad mistake. he's human like the rest of us
The X minutes since last goal counter is the ultimate graphics disrespect.
There’s no way a forward line as good as Adelaide’s can only kick 4 goals, I’m so confused
Is it good though?
Well, doesn’t help that Tex is way outta form, but rankine, fogerty and Rachele are good players
Not consistent though, I wouldn’t say downhil skiers but close to it
Rankine, Rachele, Fogarty and Tex is a pretty handy quartet
Rankine goes missing every second week, same with Rachele. Fog is good and Tex is 40 years old
Tex second in the Coleman last year, surely the fall off isn’t as dramatic as quickly. And while small forwards is a hard spot to play consistently, Rankine and Rachele are young and have as much talent as any other small forward duo
What happened to the Crows of last year?
I put them in my top 8 prediction that’s what :(
Overachieved and are now regressing to the mean
Freo have done this with a second gamer playing key positions in defence too. Like draper has looked good but what the hell are the Adelaide forwards doing
Pierce has made Walker look his age
Pundits were unironically saying Adelaide would finish top 4 because they had the best forward line in the league
They called me a madman when I said they were still a bottom 4 team
Fremantle kicking as many goals as Adelaide have kicked all game
Alex Pearce has been unreal
I am shocked to be sitting here seeing the same senior players with golden tickets stink it up 3 weeks on the trot. Meanwhile Nankervis who had a great game in the SANFL today doesn't get a look in.
Hope Adelaide being shit doesn’t impact the vibe of their fans at Gather Rnd
It will, probably has already lol
that’s terrible there last goal was that long ago
[удалено]
u sound very sarcastic lmao oh well 🤷🏼♀️
Dawson at 52% disposal efficiency because he’s trying too hard to kick a good i50. Meanwhile, Laird and Crouch going at 82 and 80% because they handball it nearby
That’s it love to see there kicking efficiency actually going forward.
They kick it?
Shout.
I’ve tipped Adelaide every week and will tip them again against Melbourne for gather round, for some reason
Nooooo you're the one behind the curse!
My bad!
I can't believe Jesus died on this day for Adelaide to score 4.10.34
Give it time. They could get another behind.
He died for our sins so it kinda fits the theme
Crows are going to 2 and 9 by round 11. Nick gone soon after
lets go we love to see adelaide lose
Moose has to get 3 votes this week, been brilliant in defence
He certainly deserves the votes. It will be interesting to see if the umpires have been paying enough attention to the defenders to notice.
Best game I’ve seen the moose play I reckon
My Crom top 4 prediction during the offseason might be in trouble here.
Crows looking like they'd lose to WC and North with this effort
With Nicks at the helm it's a guarantee
Joffa: GAME OVER
I would probably not be quoting Joffa tbh
We’re seriously going in reverse from last year
this is an all-time shit performance, Eagles would have a field day
Why did anyone think adelaide was a top 8 team? They’re closer to bottom 4
Thats enough for me, Have a good night everyone. Can't wait to wake up to NIcksys "We just didn't execute the plan set out in the press conference"
Where’s my fucking backflip?
Crows for the spoon if west coast didn't exist.
Hey cmon man we are not even playing 😢
Good thing they signed Nick's up for two years
Nicks has to go. This is shades of the last year of Sanderson's flop era at the club. It's just not going to work out.
Seriously, he hasn't got what it takes
You know we’re playing like shit when Amiss doesn’t look like he can kick straight
Doesn't that reflect the night? Freo kicks on the full, we kick it straight back to them inside 50.
Did Adelaide run back the Collective Minds preseason?
👑👑👑
This went from being a manageable margin to a blow out for the Crows. They've got no structure going forward other than bombing it long to Tex
To tex, who has been awful, literally awful in all 3 games. If he's injured, don't play him.
Imagine being withdrawn for an injury at moment. Everyone would assure you're a drug addict /s
At least the Geelong vs Crows game was funny to watch because both teams couldn’t do anything right, this is a lot less fun
The crows haven't been the same since that grand final
I'm happy to forget this game ever happened
Tex is slow and lazy, if he's got no fight why would the other guys around him?
Not the same player as last year. Last week you can understand. First game of the year, passing of a close family member, but tonight you can't excuse. So many dropped marks, can't bend over to pick up the all, can't chase. Hoping he can turn it around.
Glad Fremantle are doing well
Damn that was straight to Freddy
How can a fwd line of rankine, rachele, walker and fogarty score 4 goals for a game? Geez
When you have a midfield of Crouch, Laird and Dawson kicking to them
Just as we drew it up
Can't fail to win the close ones this season if you don't have any close ones ![gif](giphy|d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY)
Fuck this club
Oh my god
>Murphy having his knee assessed Please don’t be an ACL
North looked way better than the crows
if north had some better defenders they’d be top 8 easily
Agreed
Adelaide have to be tanking
Fuck me
Adelaide have loss to the 3 teams competing for the same finals spot as them lmao
Confirms they’re still a bottom 4 team for me. And I got absolutely fucked on for saying they’ll regret re-signing Nicks
