I cant believe that just happened. Thanks to the gods that Richards ran too far 😰

Really well done in the second half by Acres, Florent, Frankie, And of course Walsh was huge!

Definitely not our finest showing but we stayed in it and limped to the line.  The Dogs were ferocious and I just knew they wouldn’t play half arsed.

Also Buku looks pretty good 👌🏼

We'll take the 'win', but geez an extra point would've really helped.

That point is most likely the difference between playing at home or paying interstate.

Unless we beat the dockers (and dogs lose to Dees) we've missed the chance to play the dream match against Pies in finals.

Important match for us is Dogs vs Dees.
If Dogs win that one, dees might finish 7th and we play them week 1.
Otherwise, most likely Crows away.
Just about to say that last bit.

The way the Crows handled finals last year they wouldn't feel confident either. They were awful.

Only thing that pleased me is that we found something in the last 4 minutes to come from 7pts down, draw level with 2.30 to go, the message come out that a draw would be enough, and we held on.

That was the only thing that was positive but good enough. Sometimes it is harder to make finals, wildcard in our case, or further along, harder to make the GF by winning the PF than what it is when you actually get there. It showed for us. Our composure all day was terrible until the end when we made up the 7pt deficit late and then held on.

WTF was derkson doing??

I nearly threw the remore at the TV, if he had of fumbled the mark over the goal-line thus resulting in a point, I reckon a team-mate may have decked him.

Michael Mansfield against Hawthorn. Going back with the flight of the ball attempts to take a mark in the middle of the goalsquare when it was going through.....nobody around him. Fumbles it, goes over for a point.
I said that would cost us the game.

That was the game the Ben Dixon kicked the goal after the siren to win it.
Have not, and will not, ever forget that boneheaded move.

Derkson probably trumps it......but thank f*** he held onto it so it didn't matter.
