Yeah, terrible kicking from the Crows. Very disappointing for them, and it will be a big enough challenge if Geelong ends up winning (which they most likely will).

Lets hope that freo can beat geelong so adelaide can have an easy semi final.

Well it seems like that's going to be the outcome if Fremantle can sustain this lead! Should make the Crows' finals road a little more smooth

the way freo are playing i think it will be anything but easy for the Crows next week.

Loved last nights game! Freo came to play! Beat Geelong at their own game! Swammed them every time they went near it! Takes care of one team for the hawks!!!!!

Swans ran the legs off the crows! Their backline was solid, tippet and walker couldn't get near it. Dangerfield looks like he hurt his jaw late in the game.

AFL finals predictor - abit of fun, although easier now 3/4 games this weekend are done:

ON form you'd think Freo are better than Adelaide at the moment.


I think WCE gets up today, meaning COLL v WCE next week. I think WCE can push COLL. They lost by 3 @ the MCG in rd13 and then won by 49 @ pattersons in rd 22.

I can't see west coast losing today, and based on collingwoods form of rescent I'd say they will get a run for their money! All depends on how hard WC goes into today's game and what injuries come out of it!

Awesome Geelong are now gone, thats great for Hawthorn.
Nothing can stop us now.

Nothing like a training run first week of the finals.

emphatic win by the eagles , reckon they will give collingwood a real contest next week.
what a win by fremantle! if they play like they did last night they will be a hard team to beat.

i think the eagle should be in favorites next week. I'm a collingwood supporter and even i think WC are a huge chance! If they didnt peak today that is. Glad Freo won. Swans looking good as are the Hawks. Interesting to see how next week goes and see what the injury toll is like.

 

[TexWalkerFromNationalTiles]

Great win by the crows!

 

[boofhead]

Cant believe im saying this but GO THE PIES.
Crows Vs Hawks should be a good game next week, we should get through that no worries.

 

[Matty76]

Absolutely appalling turn-out by the Crows supporters, just over 31,000 there last night for a finals match is ridiculous.

 

[rishgoon]

Was a poor turn out indeed. Finals ticket prices not cheap, but couldn't believe there wasn't more there.
Hawthorn look a sure thing, but you never know in footy, especially finals. Adelaide at their best are a very good team, but a depleted back line against the Hawks forward line could be telling.

 

[matty83]

Friday night at 8:10pm probably not the best time. Would have been 45k if it was Saturday and the same time.

This final series could not of worked out any better for us. We now get a prelim against Sydney in Sydney where they haven't beaten us since R12 2006. Looking forward to another GF if all goes to plan. And I am absolutely rapted that Chris Dawes will not be playing next week hopefully we recall Sinclair and get a bit of run. I'm just glad we're not carrying that dead weight dud Chris Dawes!
