I know the story will be how bad the crows have been (thanks for a home final btw) but WC have been super impressive over the last 3 weeks. There definitely in flag contention, particularly if results go their way this weekend.

Eagles such a good marking team, they certainly came to play tonight, Pity their opponents didn't. Disappointing match given the build up and what's at stake. The $3.90 on offer for the Eagles was nice and generous though :D

Call it what you will. Choke? Yep. Believing their own press? Yep. Pathetic? You bet.
I have never seen a worse performance from a side needing an important win.
The "soft draw" last 10 weeks have masked a lot of issues.
Decision making under pressure all of a sudden...gone.
WCE were severely underestimated by us tonight and they were superb. The time and space they had made it look like 1 vs 12.
Feels like we lost an elimination final tonight and to be honest, I think we may have.
2 weeks to sort some sort of shit out for an elimination against North Melbourne at Adelaide Oval.

I have never seen a supporter base get stuck into their own as quickly as you cow supporters!. But if I was a crows supporter and someone said to me at the start of the season you would finish top 4 or just out the 4 I would have laughed at them. ALOT of upside about the crows

Still a few twists and turns to come this round. Wouldn't be surprised to see a couple more upsets and turn the ladder upside down

If you expect a supporter base to accept tonights performance you've got to be joking.

so the AFL has just spent close to a mill plus 10000 tickets so the Swans can play at the SCG in their finals except if they play GWS. Well played Stadium Australia.
Every chance it will be GWS now
Hawks and cats just have to win to both get a home final

Can't think of a single crows player that beat their opponent tonight. A lot of them playing by far their worst game of the season. That would be Jacobs worst game for Crows
