Thank your lucky stars Pies people, many believe #16 is coming home.
I’ll wait patiently…
oh no way jose, id take 2018 flag in a heartbeat, that was number sixteen, why wait till now, you logic is flawed, had we won then, we may have won again in 2019, we made the Prelim, nah, cannot go along with that scenario.
Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.
Chess and Vodka are born brothers. - Russian proverb.
“How do you feel about being unable to beat a team decimated by injury and having to travel off a five day break with your FULL compliment of players available, at home with a longer break and with assistance from the umpires.
Are the Crows just a bunch of frauds who can only be competitive when at full strength because that’s what it looks like??”
I can't remember the last time I complained about the umpiring, but yesterdays display was an absolute disgrace.
If that wasn't bad enough, the Crows cheer squad, masquerading as broadcast commentators, were even worse. I know our old Prez was biased when he called Pies games, but he was always balanced out by other commentators. Yesterday, the entire broadcast bench were simply cheering and urging the Crows on from start to finish. It was over the top and disgusting.
This makes our victory even sweeter. We made our point.

Go Pies!!!
If your in SA it goes like this: Bias Victorian umpires, we never get to play on the MCG, we never get free kicks in our forward half, they stole our grand prix and of course ; we was robbed right in front of me.
If I was a musician I could make lyrics out of that.

Yes, Hudson and Rucciuto were the worst. Hudson couldn't hide his disappointment when we hit the front - harping on about only leading for 20sec - so what! No mention of the rough deal we'd copped all game, but worst in the last qtr (the free against Moore for too high was farcical and up there with the other two; throw in the deliberate out of bounds too, yet they get away with it late in our fwd line). Rucciuto defending the Fogarty hit on Murphy - "he only had eyes for the ball" - so what!
Just amazing. I have never sworn so much during a game, even discounting my supporter bias, that was the worst umpiring I have seen in a while (perhaps since 2022 semi v cats, although Anzac Day poor too). I watched the last quarter again, there was a patch of play, probably 2 minutes max, where crows got 4 frees and a 50. As close to actually cheating as I have probs my ever seen. Would have been devastating to go down by a point but as always this team dug in and refused to lose.
Sydney have beaten no one this year, we should pump them at home (finally at the MCG), and Giants too. Then the blues - I will be down at that game, can’t wait..
