Yeh very sad news. With a promising football career ahead of him and its cut short so suddenly, i feel very sad for his partner and his family. His teammates and Collingwood as well will be devastated with this. Was impressed to see the four teams in the finals this weekend all honouring J-Mac by standing for a moments silence and wearing black arm bands. Good onya guys!

Whilst on the topic, we had two teams that got thru to next week after two ripper games. I thought the crows were dead and buried after Freo's bold start but Tex decided to turn the game on its head after giving away a 50 metre penalty. And Weagles started like a house on fire before Collingwood turned the game on its head. daisy who did nothing last week erupted like Tex did the night before and turned the game on its head, tho i think Embley for west Coast was the magpies best player...

yeah Embley screwed up big time. while again the big birds are the last 4 to stand (5 if you include west coast before last night), so dont want to see hawks, swans or pies again!
Carn the Crows!

Swans vs Pies, that would be epic match this up coming weekend!

that 'will' be an epic match up this weekend.

Yes go swannies!!! Grand final time since 2006. Cmon guys, just beat the Hawks like earlier in the season!

errrr.. the Hawks aren't there yet...

Exactly! Crows won't be a push over. In any case, I wouldn't be putting stolen money on the swans to win at the MCG!

this has been doing the rounds on FB tonight...

LOL nice one, I enjoyed this one as well

cmon the crows!

Damn close.... Great game in the end.

Awesome game... Can't stand Adelaide so the perfect result. Give 'em a sniff and shut the gate.

Yeah that was a thriller of a game. After all the grief I've gotten from crows supporters over the years, suck it hahaha

awesome game. bad luck crows, i was behind my 2nd fav team all the way!! helps that as a bombers fan i hate hawthorn!
so obviously im left to go for the damn swans next week.

alot of complaints on fb about the refs, a few dodgy calls went against adelaide late, but they had one reversed in their favour aswell, and it was two soft goals the crows let them get just after adelaide took the lead that ended up costing them.

looking at the models looks like cold sw winds with showers for the gf next saturday.

Meanwhile...

Proud of the crows for putting in the sustained effort. Need to work a bit more on consistency next year but I'm sure that'll come with more experience.

Not often that I feel content after a loss!

with just the GF left to go, there is a 1point difference between 1st place 'Grant' and 2nd place 'eastside boy'. if these two tip opposing teams, it could come down to the margin!

Shattered....just shattered even still. But we stuck it up all the flogs who wrote us off and booked the hawks into the GF before the game had even started. A dynasty awaits....
