Red Crow

@ColinCJSnell Been Victory since season 1. I’ve never lived in Adelaide, born and bred in Victoria, so its actually the Crows thats the odd team out. Picked them as a 7 year old in 1995 and stuck with them ever since.

@senzu_bean I’d put Sydney in the top category and maybe drop Collingwood and GWS down one, but otherwise it looks pretty accurate to me.

Haven't done one of these rankings for awhile. A couple of iffy ones in the top two categories who could be flipped around. But I think every team in the second category has a big ? about them.

Oh man Ranks just then! I had visions of 1995. Number 23… in that forward pocket… in the pouring rain…

“See? This is why we always go ultra defensive to start games!” - M. Nicks, probably.

I agree with everything Jars said except for “they’ll learn from that”. We’re far more likely to double down on our mistakes instead of admitting we got it wrong.

@senzu_bean They’re waitibg for a Brisbane in Brisbane or Hawthorn in Tassie type game, so they’ve got a good excuse to drop them again after an inevitable loss.

Dowling: 31 touches, 2 tackles, 7 clearances, 2.1. Edwards: 29 touches, 2 tackles, 8 clearances, 11 I50s. What more do you have to do? We're 1-3, 13th on the ladder and have played about an hour of good football in a month. Fuck me sideways.

@jimmyconway79 They don’t hand out premierships for being in front in the last quarter unfortunately

Honorable loss FC. We exist to try our best.

Bring in a 119th tall next week Nicks, might do the trick

Fuck off Rob. And fuck off Nicks for selecting him.

Fucking sick of this shit. Is anyone within the club sick of it? Ever gonna fucking do anything about it? Fucks sake

ROB WTF

Crowd getting a little bit involved would be nice too…

Any danger of some clean hands/possessions/pickups??

One more week I reckon 🙏

This the first actual good Good Friday game in the ten years they’ve been doing it?

1. 2001 v Carl (OO) Winless from the first three games, the Crows travelled to a dreary Optus Oval in horrible thunder, lightning and rain desperate for a win. Despite the atrocious conditions, the Crows led by new skipper Mark Ricciuto’s four goals, ground out a heroic win.

2. 1993 v Fitz (FP) Another close game vs the Roys after the “absolute murder” game of 91, the Crows led early before trailling at 3/4 time. Matthew Liptak goaled to level the scores with 6 mins remaining, and from there it was a slog as the Crows held out for a one point win.

Adelaide Crows: Round 4 Round 4 hasn’t really been a happy hunting ground for the Crows, with a win-loss record of 16-18, and not exactly a great deal of memorable wins. It was slim pickings to put a top 5 favourite games together, but I’ve gone with the following:
