Has there ever been such a shit, uninspiring, one sided Finals series such as this one? 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. :roll:

They are certainly pushing that. Umpires performed alt better than the crows did

Richmond were dead set magnificent yesterday. That worked hard to have numbers around the contest at all times. They stopped the crows run by blocking up the game.

Just a magnificent effort from them.

But now, one has to ask How do we all as a nation, as a race move forward in a world where Richmond is the premier?

Are we ready for a future where the tigers are not the butt of every joke?

If any of you guys are on snapchat, need to checkout the hotspots from Swan Street last night. Absolutely unreal scenes! Riot squad called in as well.

Couldn't be happier with the result yesterday, credit to Richmond I thought they'd be the easybeats in the finals but just kept proving how good they actually are

Great post. The finals series was the most boring one ever. Not one decent game to watch.

I hope so. As he also follows the red backs, I guess he is accustomed to GF results like that.

All BS aside, I hope Benny, MW and Brodlach are ok today. It's only a game, I'm sure they are disappointed, but they will box on.

Suns up, we survived and we will go again next year.


Anyone who knows me I’m a Westies supporter who is there through thick or thin so use to heartbreak. Will continue to support the Crows no matter what

Ditto.

A footy games not the most important thing going on in my life at the moment but still disappointed in the result. Tigers were way better at the contested ball after 1/4 time and just bullied us off the ball. They played a game style conducive to finals, we didn't.

Next year.
