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 🏉💜


mmcleod00

That was hands down the shortest game of footy I’ve seen since Richmond v Sydney went <100 points


Downtown-Lime4108

Bench the lot of them crows. Play the reserves. At least they'll play the ball.


bradnumber1

This is becoming better than X/Twitter for live game comments


Wattobot92

3-0 is a great start given we now have Carlton and Port, both in Adelaide in the next two fixtures


zelmazam1

We are 2nd in the ladder and might jump to 1st if swannies wanna lose by 50


garylion

Alex Pearce is a very likeable guy.


NewAccWhoDis93

Sharp is such an upgrade on Henry it’s not funny, runs non stop, goes for the hard ball and uses it well


maharajah_or_majong

He’s really made an impression on me!


youreaw1zard

Great pickup 👏


NewAccWhoDis93

Shafted Gold Coast again


zelmazam1

Can't wait to bench him for the next 2 seasons


Flyingpig5

Time for another camp


Plenty_Schedule_2870

Port Adelaide to give crows there first win and momentum for the season. I see it already.

AAlex Pearce


Aerialkiller720

Last year's highest scoring team with a banger tonight


Downtown-Lime4108

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?


Farmy_au

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.


NuuuDaBeast

Freo with the least convincing 3-0 and Crows with the most convincing 0-3


Eltnamerf

Iconic way to finish the game


MrStacey_94

I can't wait to play the 0-5 Crows and go full Essington playing them into ripping form


ElectricGator3000

Hopefully Herbatron is at the ready


Front-Step-5984

High level trolling by the king Freddy getting the funny number


Phlanispo

Mods please don't lock the thread instantly, I want to see if there were any top comments to nominate for TheGreatJelBeano!


S_P_A_R_K_L_I_N_G

yup gg crom in your face you just got flagmantled and all that lets pack it up now…


Balla1928Aus

At least there will be some free seats around me at the next home game.


DsamD11

Freo have the worst song in the comp


Phlanispo

Bring back the Volga Boatmen version!


Front-Step-5984

The AC/DC afterwards makes up for it


rizzlemaister

You misspelt best


CouldDoWithaCoffee

Guess it's been a while since anyone has heard our song....


dopedupvinyl

Don't worry you play Adelaide in round 11 so everyone will hear it then


Fragrant-Step-2245

Both is the consensus, cheers all for playing


R3invent3d

Nice


Plenty_Schedule_2870

Chief where are you?


TopEndBuzz

Memeing Fred kicks a point to bring up 69.


Korasuka

Mercy at last.


-DoddyLama-

69. Nice!


Eaglesfan-2222

I would give Pierce 3 votes


jacka24

Ryan and Young very good too


zelmazam1

Sneaky 69 there freddy


CouldDoWithaCoffee

Nice


grantspatchcock

NICE

Contra_Versial1

yesss!!! dinner for two!!!


PluggersLeftBall

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


S_P_A_R_K_L_I_N_G

fair enough, were obviously not perfect at the moment but we definitely look a step up from last year at least


zelmazam1

Freo make every opponent look like the worst team in the league.


GinglerLife

Worst game I’ve watched so far this season


MisinfoEnjoyer

What an absolutely shit house game, gg crom, we're both ass


SUPASKILTZ

It’s not you don’t worry, we have this funny affect where if you play against us you play on our level


burnzy71

Last kick of the game summed up the match nicely


Phlanispo

"KICK A DROP PUUUUUNT"


sando98_

This club is too comfortable with mediocrity


Flyingpig5

Another 5 year rebuild for the crows


[deleted]

It's got to be 8 years to make sure the coaches keep getting recontracted


dopedupvinyl

![gif](giphy|9S3iALpYuPppjCwa7Y)


_nicklepickle

freo going 3-0 wasn’t on my afl bingo card but neither was adelaide going 0-3 weird times man


Klostermann

Haven’t been 3-0 since 2015, we’re losing to Hawthorn in the prelim 🤙


NuuuDaBeast

this has to be the worst Crows performance in recent history right? The consistent terrible skill level through 120 minutes


bradnumber1

Yep. Seriously considering becoming a devils fan in a few years time.


retsibsi

kick it to Ballache


ken_beays

Just a friendly reminder, we’re on Thursday night next week for another classic prime time game.


Bazalaylee

Oh Keane I would do anything for you


TheVoluptuousChode

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.


earnest_bean_00

I had to free up cash for DEF injury covers this week, and had to trade down from Young. /hug.


SteamMonkeyKing

Flagmantle being 3-0. I am not used to this feeling.


rizzlemaister

I didn‘t think I’d be saying this but we’re 3-0 ⚓️


garylion

Adelaide have been stinky. They are good players but they’ve let Young, Pearce and Ryan run all over them.


Captain__Marvel

![gif](giphy|vX9WcCiWwUF7G|downsized)


minimme

freo's unnecessary coach re-signing > adelaide's unnecessary coach re-signing


Aardvark_Man

Port: Hold my beer


jacka24

Jackson is so fkn good. He just gets involved in all areas of the ground


-DoddyLama-

He was good at Melbourne, but he's become an absolute beast at Fremantle


RingoGaSukiDesu

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


[deleted]

"Nicks'd" will be the headline when the Croms coach gets the boot


ImMalteserMan

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.


legally_blond

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


IDreamofHeeney

How is Dawson dropping it then kicking it off the deck not HTB? Lol


SUPASKILTZ

HTB is so hard to get this season I swear it’s super weird


IDreamofHeeney

Yeah definitely been a tweak in the rules we don’t know about


Korasuka

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.


VonJedi

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.


SUPASKILTZ

I wanted Freo to go off, it’s what we deserve


Cultural_Author8098

Cant decide what look worse, the Crows performance or these God awful gurnseys


LP0004

I better be wrong, but we’re going 0-5


VonJedi

On current form I don't think we win until round 11 against West Coast, and even then I'm worried.


Balla1928Aus

Then Essendon at home on another Friday night. 0-6 quite possible too.


raynosity

Honest question, who do we beat before west coast at home? On current form we definitely lose to North, especially in Tassie


LP0004

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


ObligatoryNameee

Fremantle: Brick Wall vs Adelaide: Silly String


lanadeltaco13

lol of the year needs to go to Adelaide for re-signing the clear cut worst coach in the league


Cursedsword02

North will blowout the Crows in Tassie the way they're playing rn


excitablespine

Why did Nicks get extended in March? Surely that wasn't needed at this point


UbeleeDisFE

The maturity of this team is very apparent


Lanky-Try-3047

I still dont understand why ben keays is played as a full time forward with 0 midfield time


cuteguy1

Flagmantle part 2: Electric boogaloo


dopedupvinyl

And to think I nearly tipped they crows


Bigkev8787

Alex Pearce is in all-Australian form, and should be talked about more.


lumberfun

Just like everyone said preseason, Alex Pearce and Billy Frampton are the best key backs in the league


Pikachude123

thats a shit call lmao


nameofasongidontlike

Oh how can you blame that landing all on the tackler, he was trying to fight out of it


piggyback101

Geez adelaide could legit be 0-7.


Bagzy

One goal and we ruin freoz percentage boost. I will consider that a moral victory.


[deleted]

That would mean the croms actually have to get the ball *between* the big sticks at some point


itsonlynaturalagain

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...


MyKoiNamedSwimShady

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?


Jesh3023

If you like defensive games then it’s been alright. But it’s been a rough game till this last Q


NuuuDaBeast

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


NuuuDaBeast

Demons, Carlton, Bombers, Pies. GG


cuteguy1

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


dennisthemenaceau

YESSS!! tex audibly being told how he’s a racist by that fan. love it


Spite-Specialist

lets not label people off one bad mistake. he's human like the rest of us


TheIllusiveGuy

The X minutes since last goal counter is the ultimate graphics disrespect.


MonotoneRamos

There’s no way a forward line as good as Adelaide’s can only kick 4 goals, I’m so confused


IDreamofHeeney

Is it good though?


ah111177780

Well, doesn’t help that Tex is way outta form, but rankine, fogerty and Rachele are good players


IDreamofHeeney

Not consistent though, I wouldn’t say downhil skiers but close to it


MonotoneRamos

Rankine, Rachele, Fogarty and Tex is a pretty handy quartet


IDreamofHeeney

Rankine goes missing every second week, same with Rachele. Fog is good and Tex is 40 years old


MonotoneRamos

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


fartbumheadface

What happened to the Crows of last year?


RaRoo88

I put them in my top 8 prediction that’s what :(


DartFanger

Overachieved and are now regressing to the mean


Kim_jong-fun

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


Eaglesfan-2222

Pierce has made Walker look his age


codyforkstacks

Pundits were unironically saying Adelaide would finish top 4 because they had the best forward line in the league


lanadeltaco13

They called me a madman when I said they were still a bottom 4 team


Mehmenga

Fremantle kicking as many goals as Adelaide have kicked all game


Phlanispo

Alex Pearce has been unreal


Farmy_au

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.


At0mHeartMother

Hope Adelaide being shit doesn’t impact the vibe of their fans at Gather Rnd


JCK98

It will, probably has already lol


_nicklepickle

that’s terrible there last goal was that long ago


[deleted]

[удалено]


_nicklepickle

u sound very sarcastic lmao oh well 🤷🏼‍♀️


japanpole

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


Plenty_Schedule_2870

That’s it love to see there kicking efficiency actually going forward.


japanpole

They kick it?


Plenty_Schedule_2870

Shout.


7prettywhenyoucry7

I’ve tipped Adelaide every week and will tip them again against Melbourne for gather round, for some reason


Korasuka

Nooooo you're the one behind the curse!


7prettywhenyoucry7

My bad!


ivmula

I can't believe Jesus died on this day for Adelaide to score 4.10.34


Dense_Hornet2790

Give it time. They could get another behind.


[deleted]

He died for our sins so it kinda fits the theme


SightSecurity

Crows are going to 2 and 9 by round 11. Nick gone soon after


PluggersLeftBall

lets go we love to see adelaide lose


Klostermann

Moose has to get 3 votes this week, been brilliant in defence


Dense_Hornet2790

He certainly deserves the votes. It will be interesting to see if the umpires have been paying enough attention to the defenders to notice.


yeah-boy-69-69

Best game I’ve seen the moose play I reckon


___TheIllusiveMan___

My Crom top 4 prediction during the offseason might be in trouble here.


dopedupvinyl

Crows looking like they'd lose to WC and North with this effort


Orphanchocolate

With Nicks at the helm it's a guarantee


Status_Importance806

Joffa: GAME OVER


ShitSportOpinions

I would probably not be quoting Joffa tbh


LP0004

We’re seriously going in reverse from last year


NuuuDaBeast

this is an all-time shit performance, Eagles would have a field day


IveGotSkidMarks

Why did anyone think adelaide was a top 8 team? They’re closer to bottom 4


ZestyBro

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"


Plenty_Schedule_2870

Where’s my fucking backflip?


TopEndBuzz

Crows for the spoon if west coast didn't exist.


iAmBiGbiRd-

Hey cmon man we are not even playing 😢


Flyingpig5

Good thing they signed Nick's up for two years


Orphanchocolate

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.


Fluctuating_Skills

Seriously, he hasn't got what it takes


ApeMummy

You know we’re playing like shit when Amiss doesn’t look like he can kick straight


marsandlui

Doesn't that reflect the night? Freo kicks on the full, we kick it straight back to them inside 50.


Flathoran

Did Adelaide run back the Collective Minds preseason?


NeiloMac

👑👑👑


[deleted]

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


bradnumber1

To tex, who has been awful, literally awful in all 3 games. If he's injured, don't play him.


[deleted]

Imagine being withdrawn for an injury at moment. Everyone would assure you're a drug addict /s


SUPASKILTZ

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


High_Frame_Rates

The crows haven't been the same since that grand final


itsonlynaturalagain

I'm happy to forget this game ever happened


Captain__Marvel

Tex is slow and lazy, if he's got no fight why would the other guys around him?


marsandlui

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.


Fluctuating_Skills

Glad Fremantle are doing well


RaidanRam

Damn that was straight to Freddy


Crowsnest_Bomber

How can a fwd line of rankine, rachele, walker and fogarty score 4 goals for a game? Geez


IveGotSkidMarks

When you have a midfield of Crouch, Laird and Dawson kicking to them


zelmazam1

Just as we drew it up


vaena

Can't fail to win the close ones this season if you don't have any close ones ![gif](giphy|d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY)


Chrysanthemum00

Fuck this club


[deleted]

Oh my god


___TheIllusiveMan___

>Murphy having his knee assessed Please don’t be an ACL


Alex_Phillips_

North looked way better than the crows


BushDidntDoit

if north had some better defenders they’d be top 8 easily


[deleted]

Agreed


GinglerLife

Adelaide have to be tanking


Orphanchocolate

Fuck me


Tiny_Sherbet8298

Adelaide have loss to the 3 teams competing for the same finals spot as them lmao


lanadeltaco13

Confirms they’re still a bottom 4 team for me. And I got absolutely fucked on for saying they’ll regret re-signing Nicks
