Dunno, I left at 3.30, luckily as I was one of the first on I could leave as the Adelaide Oval majorly overstaffed for it.

Corona Man wrote:Just watching the replay again now. It will be interesting to see what the fallout of this result will be for the Crows. If they are fair dinkum there has to be one. There is a good number of their regulars who I don't see as having the ability (when it really comes down to it) to take them to the title. Ottens, Douglas, McKay, Seedsman, Jenkins.... I can go on. Easier to give a nod to their better players. Sloane, Jacobs, M. Crouch, Talia, Laird are all genuine. Then there's those that fall in the middle. Talking to a bloke today who made the observation, the crows play "perfect footy", in that when it gets a bit scrappy they don't cope. Big finals, pressure, away from AO...they were unable to "find a way". If Cameron wants to go, let him. Has pace, but not a lot of poise. Gibbs will help, but is that enough?

Apart from the Port v West Coast game which was shit as well, was just the closeness of the scores that made it interesting, all the games were over by early in the 3rd quarter if not at qtr time.
Amazing how on the back of just 1 loss after being the best team all year that Crows supporters are bagging so many of their players for not being up to it and need to get rid of half the team.
Great post. The finals series was the most boring one ever. Not one decent game to watch.
The whole season was like this imo, mainly due to the middle tier sides (stk ess melb wce port footscray) who played well one week but were mediocre the next and very few epic, desperate games among them as though they didn't really care about the opportunity to finish top 4 when the opening was there, the wce/melb game excepted.
I wanted Adelaide to win because i thought they were the only decent side and Richmond just the best of the bad bunch referred to, but i was wrong and hats off to Richmond, can't do any more than comprehensively beat the three sides in front of you.

If these teams were playing great close games between themselves and really pushing the top teams then it would have been a great year but there weren't many games like this and it was only close because all those teams were ordinary on many occasions.

More finals wins than H&A wins, and more premierships than losses.
