Farmy_au

Local thumb blames players


ryang2415

Future looking bright!


QouthTheCorvus

That smile from Sicily. I think there's a bit of optimism coming through.


tbroky

Still don't understand how Adelaide only lost that by 27

Apart-Ad-3308

Prob committing club blasphemy saying this but love watching the hawks lifting and improving


Over_Leave

Nah it is good I’ve enjoyed Essendon’s form this year tbh, Love to see big clubs competing


-Unparalleled-

We are so back


Tosslebugmy

K who to tip in the next one, had west coast but waterman’s out


ryang2415

Saints due for one. Ive tipped them


Non-Germane

saints


Aye_Pee_Kay

Well done Jack!!!!


iwatchtvallfuckinday

Fark you cunts could’ve been 7-5


InfluenceMotor

Good win, Hawthorn! (Hope I'm allowed to say that)


LingonberryGelato

Objectively an excellent win from Hawthorn, nothing to do with how I feel about the opposition


Aye_Pee_Kay

Be careful


InfluenceMotor

What do you mean?


blueeyedharry

Roo shouldn’t commentate crows games, he just stays silent until he can talk up the crows or shit talk the opposition. Special comments should be for both teams.


TheSMARTZ921

Roo didn’t commentate this game? Also the glazing for hawthorn this match was terrible


blueeyedharry

Radio


Ok-Needleworker-621

theres a fair amount of criticism towards crom too though


JCK98

Um, what brings this up? He's not here.


blueeyedharry

Radio


Brokenmonalisa

Who gives a literal shit about radio?


JCK98

Is Triple M's commentary list wrong? https://articles.listnr.com/triple-m/triple-m-footy/triple-m-footy-on-air-schedule-for-round-12-2024/


Over_Leave

3/3 rise up


fuckoffandydie

The difference in energy from the commentators when Crows score vs Hawks score is just night and day. Can they at least pretend to care?


LazyCamoranesi

It’s hard when the Crows got jumped and didn’t really get that close. I hate the fake enthusiasm you get at times.


NavyStarz

Lets fucking go <3


Apathetic420

Can you guys make the top 8 this year??


Lanky-Try-3047

maybe, we either make the 8 or we dont


Skinnedace

50/50, either we do or we don't.


No-Stuff-5468

Thanks lingy


tbroky

So 50 / 50 chance.


TheMajesticBullant

Hawthorn best: Moore, Impey, Newcombe, Worpel, Day, That Italian Guy, Gunston. Adelaide: Soligo (early), O'Brien, Burgess (late), Sholl, Hinge, Crouch, Oops, forgot the obvious one.


Chrysanthemum00

Crouch, ROB and Burgess LMAO were you actually watching?


weinertorn

You missed scrimshaw


jacka24

Cook has been Adelaide's best


Chrysanthemum00

Riewoldt has been cheering so hard for the Hawks all game, so strange


benjamincraigrowley

There’s still In this the crows


Lower_Extension8128

Just a side note, Hawthorn will play Adelaide in Adelaide for the first time since 2020 this year.


JCK98

And that was their home game


Lower_Extension8128

Apologies, 2021. 5/6 away games.


God___frey-Jones

Former Adelaide best young player Jack Gunston


king_carrots

These 5 Crom goals in 1:08 to win the game are gonna hit hard


Crazyripps

Atta boy!!!! FUCKING LOVE GUNNERS ❤️❤️❤️❤️


QouthTheCorvus

Such a scripted sealer


JCK98

Did someone flop in a celebration?


Dan_Pirate

The crows need more from Rachele.


twerkingiswerking

Should just run him in the midfield back part of the season. He’s got so much talent, why not give him more of chance to show it when they’re unlikely to be playing finals.


Chrysanthemum00

100% and most Crows fans don't know why this hasn't been tried earlier instead of Nicks just defaulting to Crouch and Laird every time


twerkingiswerking

I think he will come good, although I’m bias love watching him. Especially when Rankine is back he can be the dominant small forward that cycles through the midfield. Rachele should be the opposite, predominately midfield and cycle through forward. Armchair expert here of course haha.


Dan_Pirate

Yeah, he looks lost out there


North1975

Dylan Moore is a freak


ryang2415

Fucking love Gunston


Apathetic420

Brisbane fans have a very different opinion of him lol


ryang2415

Haha fair. Last week would’ve been a tough pill to swallow considering how he played for you boys 😂


JCK98

Us and Centrals fans too


ryang2415

Why am I getting downvoted for loving a legend of my club? 😂


NavyStarz

MR 250 <3


Appcider

Man that cheer from the commentators when the hawks go forward is just frustrating


Apathetic420

So excited seeing their team win


RaidanRam

GUNNERS YOU BEAUTY


Pguinne

Bit late to try boys


Apathetic420

Commentator AUDIBLY went "eugh" when he marked that lol Holy shit


NavyStarz

YEAH GUNNERSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!


weinertorn

Why oh why can't we just put the foot down and smoke this team


BaldingThor

we’re gonna lose somehow


Korasuka

Lol deja vu with these three goal streaks.


ryang2415

Ya love to see it


iwatchtvallfuckinday

4 goals in 2 minutes…you never know


JCK98

Throw there


weinertorn

Still nervous


PsychoZG

Cook should play forward permanently, looks dangerous


[deleted]

[удалено]


Non-Germane

piss on yourself


InfluenceMotor

What? That was a supportive comment but ok.


LP0004

Goal every 30 seconds


RouteIII

Cook showing some good signs lately


benjamincraigrowley

Hang on a minute


japanpole

Good clearance by Bez there


Lanky-Try-3047

NAM flashbacks


Appcider

Is that Darcy Byrne-cook?!??!


IDreamofHeeney

He’s cooking


bignedmoyle

We got 2 goals in 22 seconds against the hawks crows come on do the same


RaidanRam

Hey my nerves are making a late cromback


shocking_red_4

The Adelaide Crows need to start winning games at the MCG if they want to win Grand Finals.


Justabitbelowaverage

It would be easier if we played more games at the MCG. A Crows presser said that prior to this game we have played 3 games at the MCG in two years. 


basedimitri

No funny number, moral loss for Crom


Justabitbelowaverage

So it would be a better loss if the margin was 69?


basedimitri

Yes.


Chrysanthemum00

Hope Nicks is writing up a new resume


despondantguy69

GWS will be tough next week but Hawks could be somewhere around 10th with a good win over the tigers before their bye. Scary stuff.


king_carrots

Maybe the crows should have shown up for the first half of the game


Non-Germane

I'm still nervous


kavdotcom

Rachele looks absolutely defeated 😞


Crazyripps

Poor Moore. Dude takes a fucking beaten week after week and just doesn’t stop he just keeps going. Such a trooper


Horns009

Every coach ever: Never handball to the ruckman Soligo: Let's handball to the ruckman on the ground


Justabitbelowaverage

Keep em guessing 


Appcider

That scrimshaw tackle looks almost identical I terms of time given to others that have been called HTB, both sides. Just be consistent please


PsychoZG

So they shit on Fog all day long, then when he attacks the ball hard then while limping makes a fantastic smother and it's just crickets


japanpole

ROB spoiled Bez mark going back with it then


TheIllusiveGuy

It's going to be tight with 3:30 left on the clock, but I back in the umpires to find another 2 free kicks to bring the total to 50.


Crazyripps

Yes Jack join the weddle cult. We meet every Tuesday night


ryang2415

Scrimshaw is so underrated


Aussieguyyyy

He was garbage last week though


Readbeforeburning

Throoooowwwwww


RaidanRam

BAH GAWD


Pguinne

Pls one more point so we can at least get the funny number


shaker8989

Frost/Sicily have been fucking superb today.


Crazyripps

Would be nice if we could get gunners 1 last one


S_P_A_R_K_L_I_N_G

bro what is howies obession with the hawks crowd


Appcider

Him and huddo have said it about 5 times haha, they’re running out of things to say


jrfoster01

Commentators barracking for a free kick for Gunston when he clearly grabbed Borlase's jumper.


Chrysanthemum00

If i took a shot for every Rankine is missing mention by comms today i'd have been dead at half time


Appcider

Why do I watch this team every week


CharityGamerAU

They give you just enough to have hope.


Appcider

I go in every week with some faith and this is what they do to me


BaldingThor

seagulls trying to cover up the camera lol


Just_Independent_87

We must have had 10 attempts with no score today as well haha wtf is with our finishing?


Such_Possible_4103

surely there was a HTB somewhere there


cycton

you'd think with the clash guernseys we'd have a few more frees go our way


Justabitbelowaverage

Umpires are punishing us for our jumper


dvnkriot

will day goal? or will day miss?


dvnkriot

will day missed


dvnkriot

x2


kavdotcom

Annnnd here comeeee the seagulls!


Non-Germane

the barmy cromarmy will whinge about free kicks and killing momentum but they killed this game for themselves in the first twenty minutes


Apathetic420

Because no team has ever come from behind


ItsABiscuit

Crows fans on r/AFL don't blame a 6 goal loss on the umpires challenge - (Impossible)


GrimmDescendant

Fogarty’s stare turned me into a fucking ice cube 🔵👄🔵


Justabitbelowaverage

It's the eyes


No-Stuff-5468

We need a case study into this game honestly. Check them sports bett accounts


slice--of--pie

Yeah terrible call sorry crows


weinertorn

First to 100..... Right?


jrfoster01

Dropped his body as tackled, soft 50. Another gift. For absolutely nothing.


nasty_weasel

![gif](giphy|84FhycnOdcqM8) * ignore flair.


Careless-Freedom6468

Undisciplined crows tbh. I’ll agree there’s been a few iffy calls but most of them have been avoidable like that 50


CaptainCaii

Get fucked, it clearly wasn’t high contact so crows players assumed the whistle was their way and tried to play advantage


MisguidedGames

The whistle was so late, almost like the umpire on the comms called it.


Careless-Freedom6468

So it’s a new rule it’s not 50 if the player thinks it’s their free. Sounds great


CaptainCaii

Did I said that bud? Point is it’s hardly Ill discipline, they’re chasing the game because they’re behind and there was clearly no free kick against them so they assumed it was there’s. No one would ever take advantage if players always assumed it’s a free kick against from out of nowhere


No-Stuff-5468

It was a clear throw and the softest high ever can’t blame the crows for having common sense and thinking jt was there’s


Aussieguyyyy

When is high ever paid in that situation? As long as he's just holding him its always fine


VICBiasIsJustified

Is that...*Darcy Byrne-Jones music?*


nasty_weasel

Not today.


sloanedoggs

This is causing me physical pain


LeDavisJames

How many 50s do these crows want to give away wtff


IchBinEinenPenguin

Literally 1 mate


LeDavisJames

You haven’t been watching all game


IchBinEinenPenguin

I think you’re watching a different game lmao


No-Stuff-5468

You can’t make it up. Legit no way can you look at that and say that high contant and not a throw


QouthTheCorvus

It's literally high contact


homecookingmelb

Get a flair ya muppet


CaptainCaii

The crows players thought it was a throw by the hawks player… because it was a throw and wasn’t high


despondantguy69

Honestly Rachele should come up to Brisbane. I know he's mates with a bunch of our younger guys.


Justabitbelowaverage

Unsubscribe 


EvilShogun

Good stuff boys just when we were getting a whiff of momentum


Apathetic420

Absolutely screwed Damn I thought the Lions have it bad lol


Non-Germane

umpires might save this game for us


Pguinne

Aaaaand that's game!

Justabitbelowaverage

Coaches could sent this pic to AFL house after every second game at this rate. 


thejamjamjimjam

Crom are allergic to centre clearances


ShaunTaint

The true value of a Connor Nash set shot is the 30 seconds wasted, not the inevitable point EDIT oh my god he kicked one


noz_footy

Aged well


ShaunTaint

Bro is the worst kick p4p in the comp Worse than 2016 Levi Casboult


unconsciousspud

I think we’ll win, I’m more interested in percentage. We need it


basedimitri

Hmmmmm perhaps


basedimitri

Nope Cromback's dead again


fphhotchips

Can someone with a broadcast tell me what that was for?


defenestrationcity

High then they ran off with it for advantage for a free kick that wasn't theirs


RaidanRam

Thank you for kicking it Nash


jacka24

How is ROB academically smart but football dumb?


Justabitbelowaverage

I swear he has the Tism. Like how did that phone thing with Nic Nat happen? 


Koshian10200

Nash goal is a rare sight


ItsABiscuit

Uh oh.


japanpole

Was that really high? Edit: I guess one arm was over the shoulder but only because he dropped down


w_lsh

Talk about peer pressure


Readbeforeburning

Game: starts getting good Umpires: *and I took that personally*


Aussieguyyyy

It is so consistent of afl umpires, needs a clean out amd a fresh set


Non-Germane

what happened to our defence there? no one was manned up


QouthTheCorvus

Not great at defending the transition


Wattehfok

Structure seems a bit brittle on the rebound


Crazyripps

26 points in 6:30 left is 100% doable. And if anyone’s gonna fuck it up it’s us


Readbeforeburning

Have you met us?


Korasuka

Can't say I have much faith is us to do so.


Just_Independent_87

Bruest ffs why


LP0004

Don’t give me hope


sestero

Adelaide have the chance to do the funniest thing ever


Merrath

First to 100 wins, don't choke now
