match report pies v cows

[Ed from WA]

A capacity crowd of 2 filled the tv room at our place to watch the delayed telecast.
being a 10 game we didnt have to wait as long as we do for 9s games.
i had locked myself in the room and watched fox news channel until the game began,no hope of being told a score there.
half pissed already wife and i on tenterhooks watch the game begin.
Mckee gives away a free at first bounce this is followed by a free to goodwin at CHF,he hits the post.
Adelaide get a 1 point head start.
Molly is flattened,not headhigh though of course as his nose is broken,bucks plays on and misses a sitter.
Crows rush fwd and perrie marks in front of presti,his kick lands in the square and somehow carey kicked a goal thru 8 pairs of legs. buga!!
2 secs later clarke wins ruck and crows goal again.
Mckee wins ball from next bounce and Ant gets a free at CHF.
point! we cut off the kick in Josh marks at 40...OOF!!
josh marks again at 40 and this time its a sausage roll.
like before clarke taps to riccutto and its a goal to crows again.
Judkins fateful words....we dont need a ruckman are ringing thru my brain....i think hes wrong!
didak roves from a pack and of course tries to snap over his shoulder instead of steadying OOF!!
crows get a soft free to burns who goals and carey goals a minute later...i decide to call this story UNDER SEIGE!!
its uglier than a barb centrefold.
mckee cuts of a crow sortie in the square and a series of passes end up with ant into an open goal.
crows rush fwd again for a pt and bucks kicks in to woey who is almost killed waiting for it to come and crows goal again.
2 secs later and clarke wins tap and mcleod goals.
strong work from molly...payback time for his whack earlier..he gets it to woey who goals.
thankfully the siren goes to end a mega fugly qtr of footy by the wasteful pies.

wife and i wonder wether to watch any more of this or give up already.
we soldier on
For the tenth time tonight clarke is all over mckee,has his arms around him and holding him,but that seems to be ok now as long as he doesnt cross the line.
arent we lucky to have a rules committee that hate ruckman.
Taz starts us off with a goal from a mark then he sets up woey for another and its a new pies on the field.
mollys quick hands set up taz for another goal and we have 3 on the board before the crows realise we are back in it.
we are starting to win the clearances,brodie is in the back pocket and doing a fine job mopping up.scoots has a fumble attack,he seems lost tonight,didak is undisciplined and gives away 50,but thankfully it hits the post.
Taz should get a free for being hit high,but play on sees Ant gets it to didak who makes no mistake this time.
just on siren time lika handballs recklessly to nowhere and carey goals as the half ends.
46-55
the attitude in that 2nd qtr was so different to the first. how it can happen is beyond me.
time for a nervous couple of bottles of rum.
im a nervous wreck.
2nd half begins and its wasteful pies again..Cole tackles well but doesnt do much else...he is caught trying to run with the footy,play on bucks snaps it OOF!!
Bucks disposal this year is the worst ive seen him do,dont know what the problem is.
3 goals to crows and its ugly again.mcleod shit me with ""the old rove the ball from the front of the pack by himself trick""just like acnemanis did in the GF and someone seems to do every week...will we never learn?
Bucks gets us one back when he gets a free at the 30.
great stuff by mckee gets it to didak who snaps truly.
more top stuff by mckee sets up willo for a goal.
thats the first time ive seen him all night,didnt even know he was playing.
Woey kicks over his head cleverly to the hot spot,lika marks and goals.
MCG should take note of that.
just as im getting hot and sweaty the bloody crows goal on the siren again.
2 qtrs in a row now they done that.
11 points down,im out of rum,nervous as a kitten i open the ouzo bottle.
come on pies!!!!wife now has her scarf on for good luck.
we get the first clearance brodie hits ant on the tit and he kicks a fuggin point!! carey goals from the kick in,riccutto then gets his millionth kick and they goal again.
if any one was on him tonight they didnt win the contest.
its ugly again
but never say die pies come back again.
Lonie passes to Taz,strong work gets him another goal.
Lonie marks and gets 50,should have been 200 as the crows are gettin nasty..GOAL!!!
burnsy goals from a lika handball,10 secs late the other burns goals buga.
Ant van nistleroooy does a man u special and its a goal the diff our way..
riccutto goals again and its all square well into red time..
i dont want a draw i say,mcleod snaps a point as if to say either does he.
30 secs to play we rush fwd from the kick in,ball is bombed long and TAZZZZZZAA!!!! marks at 50.
siren goes.
i spill ouzo bottle.
Taz lines up,comes in deliberately,follow thru is ok,ball sails over goal scumps head,we wait for it.....
ITS A GOAL!!!!!
we win,what a comeback!! lazarus couldnt do better.
we were dead at qtr time.
bring on wet toast.
