Adelaide vs Freo

[Voice]

NFC, FIRSTLY YOU MUST BE AN EDUCATED FOOTY SUPPORTER AS ALL THE PEOPLE I SPOKE TO SATURDAY HAD NO IDEA WHO I WAS TALKING ABOUT.
SECONDLY, THE SPITTING IS COMMON, AS I SAID IT'S HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. THREE PEOPLE, 1 BEING A 40YO WERE THROWN OUT FOR IT.
PLEASE EXCUSE THE CAPS LOCK, STUCK ON, STUPID KEYBOARD

[haloman]

Freo had 7 players under 10 games. No Pavlich, Sandilands, Johnson, Crowley, Palmer, Hayden, Mayne, Headland. Now, I don't expect any of you Crows supporters to know most of these names as you take no interest in the reality of AFL football. All you see is what you want to see and the truth is, with the squad that Freo had at their disposal, the result is only what should have been expected anyway.
The biggest thing I think the Crows can take out of it is they didn't take their foot off the pedal at all last night. They stepped on the Freo throat and stayed on it until the end of the match.
BTW, what is with your supporters spitting on opposition supporters everytime we are at AAMI. Happened at last years and this years games I went to against Carlton and the last 2 times vs Freo (whom my wife supports). These are adults (supposedly!) and they act like that. Funny thing is we've never copped that sort of s***t at a Port game. Lift your game Crows supporters.

I've been going to Crows games for a decade, how come I never ever see any of this stuff? I'm not saying it doesn't happen but every SINGLE CLUB (or sporting club in the world for that matter) has bad supporters. Doesn't mean the supporter base is bad. When the heck does this spitting supposedly occur? Who does it? Deranged people? I've never seen anything close to it.


Your post was pathetic. Yeah, us Crows fans don't know who those players are.

I Live Country SA and travell about 6 or 7 hours by car to watch about 3 crows home games a year. My father travels to EVERY home game. For a Saturday night game he leaves sat morning........gets in ........goes to the ground.............goes back to the hotel............up at six the following morning to drive 7 hours to get home. Now thats commitment. (Or stupidity) Mum and Dad are gold members and season ticket holders. I'm a bronze member and my son is a crows nest member. Mum, Dad and two friends have four reserved seats in the northern stand in about row K, level with what would be the right forward pocket, or the right behind post.
This Saturday Mum and Dads mates wern't going and gave me and my son their tickets which was great.......we could all sit together. Instead of being able to relax and enjoy an awsome Crow flogging of Freo we spent 2 hours subjected to some of the WORST supporter behavior I have encountered in any ground. A bloke directly behind me and my 8 year old son couldn't yell anything but abuse all night. Every sentenced he screamed in our ears had an F..... or a C.... in it. I turned to him half way through the 2nd quarter and asked him to tone it down a bit. His responce was to tell me to F*** off cause is was a free country. We were surounded by other morons as well. Two STUPID old woman behind us and to the left did nothing but abuse crows players for to much handball.........yes that's right........117 point winners with home fans abusing their own players. "Kick it u stupid fools kick it." Ywo Dockers collided and one of them in particular looked really hurt sometime during the second quarter.............the crowd behind, infront infact all around us..............burst into a chorus of abuse.........for crying out load people those two Dockers actually HAD a go. I don't mind ribbing the opposition a little or getting stuck into the odd umpire when they deserve it. I draw the line as a supporter however at abusing members of my own team or abuse to injured opposition players. As a Crows supporter it pains me to say this but I believe we have the WORST supporter base in the AFL. On the whole most are ok but our bad supporters are REALLY BAD. This 19th man thing the Crows are trying to inpliment is a good idea but it is making some of the bad ones worse. They don't discriminate between opposition players or spectators or even their own players.............they just abuse all in sundry..... but on the bright side NFC......I've not seen any spitting.

Agree Freo had a number of their best players out, but 1 goal in a game is not acceptable, they still had 22 blokes play and 80 minutes + time on to get a few more goals.. there should be some credit given to the Crows for keeping 3 teams to under 7 goals this year (Melb / Nth Melb and Freo). They have had enough high draft picks to be more competitive then they were on the weekend.

As for your list.. Mayne hasn't played a game all year and shouldn't be included in that list.. he's played on 18 games and time will tell how good he is.. Pavlich / Sandilands and Hayden are the major 3 IMO in that list..

The Crows this weekend had
Dangerfield 17 games
Otten 17 games
Sellar 3 games
and a host of guys, like Mackay, Tippett, Vince, Symes and Maric with under 50 games experience..
We have also played Cook / Walker and Petrenko this year and had up to 5 blokes with less then 10 games experience and we were competitive and won some games.. SO don't cry poor for Fremantle..

As for anyone who spat on you should have been thrown out and not let back in ever.. DISGUSTING.
BUT all supporters have groups like that and to think all Crows supporters are like that is narrow minded.
You clearly haven't been to a Collingwood home game or watched the Hawks supporters just last week throwing things at and pouring beer on their own team at half time.

[Voice]

SCD, I totally agree that 1 goal is not acceptable and my earlier post does say that the main thing I would be pleased about if I were a Crows supporter is they never took their foot off the pedal. It would have been an easy game for them to kick back and float through the rest of the game but they didn't.
Other things to take out of it are 4 pts and % but that's about it.
My main point is that all you acheived on the weekend was that you beat a team by 100+ that you should have beaten by 100+ considering where the Crows are at and where Freo are at, atm.

[AFLflyer]

Carlton scored 1.10 in 1991. My memories awesome

Freo are a joke. Instead of getting rid of under perfroming Melb teams, lets p!ss off Freo. Been in the comp too long without any success.

Crows get a great test next week against 'St How Many First Round Draft Picks Have You Got'?

Freo had 7 players under 10 games. No Pavlich, Sandilands, Johnson, Crowley, Palmer, Hayden, Mayne, Headland.

and all this coming from a sturt cheer squad member!

[Voice]

and all this coming from a sturt cheer squad member!

Not one incident since i've taken back over as leader and I won't allow any either. They know what will happen if they do.
I'm in constant consultation with the club and anybody acting inappropriately is turfed out depending on the severity.
You'll see it first hand at Arctic Park this weekend.
I can understand where your coming from though. We have a bad past. No longer so though.

Fremantle = Norwood

Actually Freo are 4 pts better than Norwood...

In terms of premierships Freo is closer to Glenelg. Oh that's right, Yabs fans don't use that measure.

I've been to two Adelaide home games in the past six months. Both times we were seated in the near vicinity of a vocal idiot.

Once, it was a female Crows supporter, who didn't say a whole lot other that "Go Adelaide" every 40 seconds.

The second time it was a Hawthorn supporter screaming "kick it to Cyril" every minute and "that was weak" after every umpiring decision.

It seems that amongst 45,000 people, 1 in 100 are probably going to be pricks, regardless of what team you go for.

So in effect, 450 people in AAMI stadium are loud, vocal jerks.

I reckon that's about the ratio for all teams. If I went to Freo v Crows at Subiaco and got unlucky with my seating I'd probably be spat on too.

It's a disgrace that any supporters carry on like that.

[White Line Fever]

And as for Fremantle's performance, you would expect that result in a local league if the opposition had its best 3 or 4 players out.
This is the AFL... the next player to step in is clearly a talented player or they wouldn't be playing in the AFL.
There is NO excuses in an elite competition when each team has 22 players on the field. Period.

Aren't you contradicting yourself slightly there?

[silicone skyline]

Not at all, she said nothing but "Go Adelaide" every 40 seconds.

[RoosterMarty]

That is a problem? Would you rather be spat on?

Also does she have an annoying voice and sits towards the back of the northern stand?

[silicone skyline]

YES!!!!
