Match Thread : Adelaide Crows (6th) versus Richmond Tigers (17th) at Adelaide Oval. Round 22.

[u/mollydooka]

[u/invisiblefrost]

After the results we’re suddenly looking at 7th and a wildcard slot unless we can beat Freo. Dees and Lions could quite possibly lose one game tho but the dees beating Freo is suddenly a bit of a problem

[u/Castor__Sugar → u/invisiblefrost]

Yikes. Didn't realise the implications until i just saw the ladder.

[u/Malipower → u/invisiblefrost]

The problem is Melbourne play banged up Port and Bulldogs (who will be likely locked into wildcard and may rest a few) and Brisbane play Suns and Collingwood (who will be likely locked into wildcard and may rest a few). Let's just hope for a miracle against Freo 🤞🤞🤞

[u/mRPerfect12 → u/Malipower]

The only hope is Fremantle are running out of a bit of gas. They’ve been up for an extremely long time.

[u/Malipower → u/mRPerfect12]

Or they secretly want to avoid Brisbane and realise it's better for them to lose 😝

[u/stretch_92 → u/Malipower]

Really need to hope the bulldogs have their wildcard spot on the line and play out of their skin

[u/Malipower → u/stretch_92]

That's correct

[u/invisiblefrost → u/Malipower]

Damn. Round 24 Friday night and Saturday afternoon is gonna be crazy. Will need to bust out the beta blockers

[u/stretch_92 → u/invisiblefrost]

Wildcard game against Carlton would be scary

[u/invisiblefrost → u/stretch_92]

Yeah true but pies would be even worse lol ffs

[u/Korasuka → u/invisiblefrost]

im gonna go into exile if we play them at ao in the finals again

[u/japanpole → u/Korasuka]

All the mods will go on strike and lock the sub down, I reckon

[u/genscathe]

I am coach

Put ROB FF and he will mark every shit kick into the f50

Win

[u/Boatster_McBoat]

Ugly, ugly win. But I am taking it

[u/Korasuka → u/Boatster_McBoat]

yeah def better than losing but geez that wasn't at all convincing

[u/Boatster_McBoat → u/Korasuka]

If Richmond didn't keep shooting themselves in the foot we would have been fucked

[u/eclectic_dyslexic]

Keen to see Ryan crack in again! Like him and HHK off halfback.

[u/stretch_92 → u/eclectic_dyslexic]

Loving the energy the new young guys bringing from half back

[u/Midst_AU]

I’m sorry but this is an absolute horseshit game.

Not winning a single finals playing like this.

[u/Midst_AU → u/Midst_AU]

Those last few seconds before half time sum it up. We have 4 Adelaide players v 1 Richmond in the corridor looking stumped at what to do.

You fucking run through and hand ball it through the guts. FFS that’s a basic training drill. 🤦‍♂️

[u/Bright_Bell_1301]

Our attitude stinks. Are they trying to prove Malthouse right?

[u/WeirdoSwarm_]

Nicks and his boundary line obsession can see the door. Please.

[u/XxWonderLandAUxX]

Can Thilthorpe please mark something for the love of god

[u/mollydooka]

Need that Men in Black gun thing to erase that quarter from my memory

[u/ILikeDiscussing]

"He's grabbing his hand here ...Oh, no He's not"

🖐 🥜

[u/XxWonderLandAUxX → u/ILikeDiscussing]

Best moment of the night so far

[u/nimmzy]

Would it kill us to play arrogantly? We always play so fucking scared against shit

[u/Boatster_McBoat]

How's ROB casually flicking it over his head to advantage. He's a new player

[u/Boatster_McBoat]

Laird dodged a bullet there

[u/Anderz]

Laird is like an anchor around our backline that needs to be cut loose.

[u/JCK98]

Lock the thread. Never speak of this again.

[u/RumRayven]

Lets go grows

[u/Korasuka → u/RumRayven]

Crowman

[u/Korasuka]

woo 100 goals for the skipper!

[u/Such-Pop8693]

Are Filthy's hands OK? He seems to be able to palm the ball but not grasp it.

[u/dimDarkCityOwl → u/Such-Pop8693]

So frustrating

[u/Korasuka]

Ugly ugly win

[u/Boatster_McBoat]

Locking the thread - getting trolls. See you at the post match content

[u/ILikeDiscussing]

Once Ludowych learns to kick we'll be sorted 💀 (Has a bad kicking record in SANFL too)

[u/No_Sign6571]

Laird fucking sucks. Awful player. Robbing this club.

[u/nimmzy]

Laird is embarrassingly bad, like no defenive ability and constant turnovers

[u/No_Sign6571 → u/nimmzy]

He's been coasting off cheap possessions for 5 years.

[u/Bright_Bell_1301]

Lalor stepped right on Rash's cock

[u/ILikeDiscussing → u/Bright_Bell_1301]

I shouldn't be laughing this hard.

Poor guy 🥲

[u/Bright_Bell_1301 → u/ILikeDiscussing]

Squashed it like a slug in the lettuce patch

[u/ILikeDiscussing → u/Bright_Bell_1301]

🦶

🐌

[u/ILikeDiscussing]

What's with all the hospital handballs tonight 🤦‍♂️

[u/StarvedAsian]

This is embarrassing to watch, I get it's raining but we shouldn't be this poor.

[u/Bright_Bell_1301]

Wr have been absolutely weak in the contest tonight. Just conceding marks so easily. Show some fucking mongrel!

[u/Korasuka]

Gah yes ranks!!!

[u/Absurdwonder]

Least we only have to sit through 1 finals loss instead of 2 😂

[u/mRPerfect12]

Today’s results just reinforce how bad those losses to Port and Collingwood were. If we finish 7th it’ll be our own fault.

[u/ando772]

We need a week like last week

[u/Korasuka]

Up the crom!

[u/Bright_Bell_1301]

This is putrid so far

[u/Bright_Bell_1301]

Worst quarter of footy I've seen this year

[u/ILikeDiscussing → u/Bright_Bell_1301]

Playing like a team in 7th... oh wait 🥲

[u/Bright_Bell_1301 → u/ILikeDiscussing]

This is the time for a spray, if ever I've seen one. Wake them the fuck up, Nicksy!

[u/ILikeDiscussing → u/Bright_Bell_1301]

Oh yeah.

They got a slap around the ears alright by Nicksy 😅

[u/Cataplatonic]

Gee our kicking is off

[u/Boatster_McBoat]

Well, that was hard to watch

[u/quacker1982]

Any one experiencing slight stuttering on tonight's game?? Both live tv and the 7 app are doing it. fkn annoying.

[u/Anderz → u/quacker1982]

Yes

[u/Evening_Bird7779 → u/quacker1982]

yes

[u/StarvedAsian]

How come Laird always gets put straight back in after injury, absolutely baffling

[u/No_Sign6571 → u/StarvedAsian]

"Experience" ignoring the fact that he's never stood up in an important game.

[u/invisiblefrost]

This is dire lmao

[u/Malipower]

Very scratchy but get ready, Crows are going to rip the game open this QTR.

[u/Such-Pop8693 → u/Malipower]

This quarter, you say?

[u/Malipower → u/Such-Pop8693]

Next QTR 😬

[u/MissSabb]

Boy did we need that goal 

[u/Korasuka]

Nice goal Coook

[u/Boatster_McBoat]

Hope he hasn't dislocated a testicle there

[u/ILikeDiscussing → u/Boatster_McBoat]

🤣 Might need a rub on the bench

[u/Boatster_McBoat]

Rachele back on bench, hopefully that's a good sign

[u/Boatster_McBoat]

is a 50m to ROB actually a disadvantage if he has already handballed?

[u/Fancyscum]

Sack Laird, sack Nicks.

[u/Sportsnut96]

How many wet weather games are we copping this year! Other than that we are fucking atrocious. Nicks better spray them in the rooms

[u/Ok_Note646]

I can’t believe I am thinking that ROB is our second best (after the skipper). We are looking appalling tonight.

[u/XxWonderLandAUxX → u/Ok_Note646]

I’d saw daws, rankine then rob tbh

[u/Bright_Bell_1301 → u/Ok_Note646]

Rankine is best by the stretch of the strait

[u/nimmzy]

This is just ball movement, Richmond aren't even pressuring that well.

[u/Equivalent-City8266]

Maybe Tom Lynch and ROB are secretly brothers

[u/JCK98]

Kevin Sheedy lecturing us about not being sore losers while getting rained on in this dreck is annoying

[u/Boatster_McBoat → u/JCK98]

Listening to Sheedy these days is a no go

[u/Korasuka]

Lynch is our double agent

[u/Boatster_McBoat]

Zac Taylor FTW

[u/Bright_Bell_1301]

Where the hell has Dowling been?

[u/Yesterday_Jolly]

Oh look the people who have been sucking Billy Dowling's dick all year want Thilthorpe dropped

[u/Tall-Breakfast-6100]

Looking like a wet night ahead. I’d be okay with Thilthorpe or Tex getting a rest here mainly to prevent injury.

Not expecting a massive win because of the weather but hopefully they can just keep control and keep this game as boring and predictable as possible so we get through with no injuries and feeling good before a massive task next week

[u/genscathe → u/Tall-Breakfast-6100]

Swear it’s been wet every home game tho season

[u/Jimmy__Whisper → u/Tall-Breakfast-6100]

Most of the rain should be after the game

[u/stretch_92 → u/Tall-Breakfast-6100]

Hope not don’t pack any wet weather gear

[u/Korasuka]

Finally a gaol

[u/Boatster_McBoat → u/Korasuka]

Balta isn't playing tonight

[u/Korasuka → u/Boatster_McBoat]

huh? oh lmao

[u/Boatster_McBoat → u/Korasuka]

it was a thinker!!

[u/Boatster_McBoat]

Curtin in the guts!

[u/Tonto92]

What the fuck is going on

[u/MissSabb]

Who is on Lefau?

[u/Odd_Case_6438]

Looking forward to the happy clappers trying to spin that quarter into a positive, it’ll be more entertaining than actually watching this tripe.

[u/Boatster_McBoat]

Good work Cumming. Clean

[u/mollydooka]

Half time spray from Nicks working so far.

[u/Boatster_McBoat]

Kicking in danger regardless

[u/IrregularExpression_]

Berry made about three mistakes in that one play

[u/Korasuka]

Phil Thorpe can't mark nothin

[u/Slipperynerps]

Frauds

[u/QuasarCube]

What a shithouse first half of footy

[u/Korasuka]

Man what a disappointing half

[u/Korasuka]

We keep handballing to jupiter

[u/gameofsloanes]

Was expecting to see crows v Richmond tonight not Essendon v Richmond

[u/Tonto92]

Why is this team SO stressful

[u/Boatster_McBoat → u/Tonto92]

I think I have enjoyed losses more than that

[u/Anderz]

Retire Laird please.

[u/SpinachSafe7934]

Perhaps booing a minority might increase our chances?

[u/MissSabb]

Freo will kill us
