Heeney wants to give us false hope. Hehe. I'll take it until Adelaide kick another one.

[Wardy]

Great game whatever happens.

bugger!

[bloodspirit]

What a brilliant atmosphere!

[WauchopeAnalyst]

Cant help myself. TOWERS & MCVEIGH. Mr Anonymous. Blindness play-on to no one. Back to our normal bombing crap.

Heeney & Buddy kept us in the game.

Bloody disappointing result but battled hard. Adelaide are a good side, we will both play finals.

Mills was great but makes terrible mistakes. Towers not good enough, McVeigh underdone.

[Levii3]

How was that not deliberate honestly wtf!!

[Bill Posters]

Game won by Eddie Betts getting away with blatant push in the back in front of goal.

At some point Dean Towers is going to twig that he's faster than pretty much everyone else out there and if he gets the ball on the outside of a stoppage he should use his pace.

Heeney & Buddy kept us in the game.

And Smith has lost all ability!

But allowing Mcveigh to play with no game time, the coach has to take the blame.

Anyone would have been better than him.

Who else was in our forward line apart from buddy and heeney???

Tommy was really quite after half time as well.

[Levii3]

Also Eddie Betts push in the back on nick smith... Umps did a good job but were forced to give free kicks that weren't there by the crowd

Great game. I'm not going to buy that the umpires cost us, they were pretty lenient on deliberate all night, we got away with plenty. We played our guts out, and wasted a few opportunities early in that last quarter, which probably cost us in the end. You have to give credit to the crows, they played fantastic, intense pressure footy, as did we, and get the points in the end. Really proud of our effort though, despite carrying a couple of passengers today. How good were Heeney and Mills ( despite a couple of blunders by foot).

This. The last time we lost to the Crows was 2012 at the SCG. It's one of the few times I've walked away from a loss not minding too much because I knew I'd witnessed just a great game of footy. This one is much the same. Both teams were amazing in their pressure and intensity for four quarters. Several of our players were absolutely fantastic and we now know that we stack up just fine against other good teams.

If the team is as good as we hope it is, the loss of four points away from home won't matter too much.

If there is such a thing as a good loss then that was it ????
Given the venue and the statistics we did well and at any other venue probably could have won

[Levii3]

McVeigh should not have played said it before the game should have played in the twos for a week or two and got some touch..

Ump did do a good job but the free kicks at centre bounce weren't there

Issac Heeney is going to be a gun and Mills played a great 4th game some of marking was excellent his disposal needs to improve but this game was played like a final so great effort

I hope Sinclair will be ok for next week because Toby was superb in the ruck but he was no where in forward 50

Next week might be a tough watch the Eagles are a much better side than the Crows and their inside 50s are low flat darts we need to tag Gaff
