    Disappointing result in Crows v Pies.

    As a slight aside, I’ve now entered into a bet with a Pies supporter in which the loser of our 8 point August 14 smack down has to wear the other teams kit for a day.
    For your sake.....and sanity, I'll pray hard for a Swans win!

Aside from solid wins against Fremantle and Melbourne and a narrow win against Carlton, the other five wins are all against sides outside the top eight by a combined margin of 32 points.

    Their remaining games: Essendon (H), Port Adelaide (H), Melbourne (A), Sydney (A), Carlton (A). They won't win all of those games. Essendon has hit some good form, Port Adelaide have been winning regularly, and the other three sides are all in the top eight.
    Totally agree. They’re vulnerable - but those 3 wins are gold no matter where/how they come. Their wins are in the bank and we’re in a more dangerous place (unless we can win in the West)

    Also shows that our games vs Norf and Adelaide are no gimmes (even GWS — who’ve looked terrible of late — can lift against us).

    They’re gone, it appears.

    …unless tigers keep missing!

    All day the underdogs have been tantalising us with the prospect of unlikely victories. And now we see the least likely of them all.
