I think jude bolton is in....Don't trust crows under Neil Craig. Sando has been here many times. Longmire on the other hand...

Bbr · 09-07-12, 10:49 PM

I think ur local is looking at Crows past finals performances also...

Should be a ripper of a game regardless

Wilfred · 09-07-12, 10:55 PM

I think the Crows will pull it out

ACoochy · 09-07-12, 10:58 PM

Bbr, only reason i dont like Adelaide here is because they've been consistently beaten by top ranked sides this season.

Still remember when they got hammered by the Pies at home in that last quarter.

Just dont see them standing up if the Swans manage to maintain a high degree of pressure for a full 4 quarters.

Hope i am wrong. GL

ACoochy · 09-08-12, 12:57 AM

Crows lack of str8 kicking is gonna cost them here if they dont get their act together asap...

Wilfred · 09-08-12, 01:09 AM

This is ugly

Pew Pew · 09-08-12, 01:13 AM

crows shitting the bed against decent teams

Wilfred · 09-08-12, 01:14 AM

They just aren't converting. Long from over.

Wilfred · 09-08-12, 01:20 AM

Horrible way to end the half. Could of been down by 13 but it's 25 instead.

Crows have alot of excellent (but inexperienced) players when it comes to finals and the pressure it presents.

Lack of finals experience glaringly apparent here.

Yeah I knew that coming in. Didn't think it'd be this bad though. Hopefully they can get off to a quick start in the 3rd, I think it's their only shot.

+1
Hope for the sake of crows backers the home ground advantage will come into play here...GL

Pew Pew · 09-08-12, 01:50 AM

what a fast start

raydog · 09-08-12, 01:51 AM

miss after miss...its hard to watch...these fukks cant kick a ball in the ocean right now

Pew Pew · 09-08-12, 01:58 AM

jesus fuuck goal post

Bbr · 09-08-12, 02:45 AM

Absolutely smoked. Bad play

Wilfred · 09-08-12, 09:21 AM

I fell asleep before the 3rd it appears haha. Looks like I didn't miss much. Sucks because besides losing the bet I thought it was going to be entertaining .

haha well played. Glad i called it quite this week after my crows loss. Very fortunate on my end. Could have came up of the first week down a fair bit!

Onto next week...

Freo +130............very enticing. Pav in career best form. Talia out. Just cant see the crows stepping up. If crows do step up it will be a very tight game. Freo would be full of confidence coming into this game. Freo at the line may also be a gd bet..

Eagles +115
hrmmmm. Again very enticing. One of these dogs will win??

Lookingtostart · 09-09-12, 07:17 AM

Freemantle ML surer of the two for me. I would go Eagles line and Freemantle ML. The Crows are done, in fact, Freemantle ML is one of my favourite lines all year.

Bbr · 09-10-12, 03:36 AM

Eagles +6.5 -108 2.5x

Locking this one in now. Cant see eagles losing here. Eagles play well at the MCG as previous years suggests.

Maxwell out is huge. Lynch out as well but lynch can be replaced whereas maxwell is a lot harder to replace. Last time they played both maxwell and lynch were out, it was a crunch game and very important in relation to ladder position. Eagles smashed them in the second half kicking 9 goals to 4. WCE are stronger now with there forward line gelling very well and kennedy returning to form gradually.

I would go heavier but Its probably best to wait for final line ups before I lay some more.

GL guys

Bbr · 09-10-12, 06:52 AM

Waters out for the season. Doesnt look like ill be adding to that play.

raydog · 09-11-12, 12:30 AM

Freo +146 (pinny) max wager... gl boyz

Bbr · 09-12-12, 03:36 AM

Eagles down to +4.5 and dockers out to +9.5

Bbr · 09-14-12, 03:47 AM

Crows 9.5 1x

raydog · 09-14-12, 06:27 AM

doesnt look like all the travel has hurt freo at all... might wear on them later, but couldnt ask for a better start out of them

Dockers are beginning to tire and its not even halftime...

If crows kick accurate 2H they win this..GL

raydog · 09-14-12, 06:51 AM

yeah, a couple awful ass calls gave the crows 8-9pts too... wtf was that around the 50ft bounce?

Agree. That sandilands call ur referring to was BS turned up to max! Guy tapped the ball to himself and because he was tackled was ruled as holding the ball...

Guaranteed that wouldnt happen 90 times out of 100

hawley · 09-14-12, 07:28 AM

Is Sandilands that massive guy out there?

He looks like a giant

Yep. All 2.11m and 122kg of him...

For a white giant the guy can move...Took him 5 years or so at top level to become any good however...

Cash it!! Too much love for freo through out the week but line went the other way. Sharps were on crows ml???

nah, sharps were on crows -8.5... ml move only nickel or so from 8.5 to 9.5...

nice play btw

... i took a beating...tired legs out of half and couldnt get enough of a run going late...my ml play was chucked and i could see it...didnt want to watch but had enough on it to keep me interested till a few minutes left.

maybe ill be on the right side of a move tomorrow with wc...gl
