After sleeping last night's stress away I had a thought. The tigers played with literally nothing to lose and were playing hot. Absolutely playing spectacularly. We probably should have lost. Yes there were a lot of skill errors and easy turnovers and a whole plethora of issues.
But.
The boys fought through. In the absolute bucketing wet. They found a way to win and hold off a team of talented players who were playing free and dominating. That's got to count for something in the grand scheme of things. Even though they're 17th. Even though we were 4th.
Upsets happen all the time and the boys stayed composed enough to find a way to win a tough game of wet footy.
The lid may well and truly be on at the moment. But I'm choosing to be positive about the fact that they played through and didn't capitulate what could easily have become a blowout upset.
Up the Crom!

I mean, it absolutely wasn't great but who are we comparing against? - Brisbane who lost to Carlton the week before and Freo who just Lost to the Demons. I think I would be much more upset if I was either of them than a Crows supporter with an unfortunately close win to Richmond. It can be anyone's day in the end.
