Enjoy your weekend Crows fans.
And they are checked out their forum page and my god I'd never thought I'd see the words C'mon Tigers be written all over their match day thread.

Their celebrations almost match those of TIgers fans.

Well what a great win that was a game for the ages. Don't think I have ever been that nervous in a game in my life, we've never really had a close game like that in final a since I've been around just ecstatic. Now we can all sit back tomorrow night and see who we will be playing, I'm sure it will be Brisbane, Geelong will go back to their handbagging ways tomorrow night.

Hartlett just got a high free because his own man got him. Clear throw before by Amon not paid.

Umpires getting involved unfortunately.
The worst decision of the year. That's how much the umpires *smile* us; now they're even giving frees against us when our opponents run into each other.

I dead set couldn’t watch that.

had to take a durry break every 3 minutes.

We made it, and now I’m going to the grand final in Brisbane.

Heady times these.

F*** me, what a game, real heart stopper.

We certainly fumbled a lot but it was wet and the pressure was immense. Both teams really going at it. Quite a stunning game really Could have gone either way but we played better than Port at the end and really, had we taken our chances, should have won by more.

Port have looked good all year, if anyone thinks they are not the real deal after that they're kidding themselves. Both teams in the game up to their eyeballs right to the end.

A truly great win, so close all night. Huge efforts from players on both sides all night.

Whoever wins the other Prelim should be very scared, that was trench warfare, anything less and we could really blow away either of them.

The umpiring was all over the place. For a lot of the game is was reasonable, then they would lose it for a while. Deliberate OOB paid too easily for a period. Lost the whistle for a while. Vlastuin gets a head high bump and it is ok but they get a free in front of goal for the same thing. I thought we were even or maybe ahead in frees at three quarter time, certainly weren't by the end of the game.

That was a win for the ages. Didn't feel like our Grand Final, we should be back next week and ready to have a red hot go at winning B2B. Port were bloody good, they are so close to making a Grand Final, will be a threat next year if they can keep it together.

After that game I definitely need a whisky, hmm, maybe the Ardbeg Corryvreckan :D

Always amused that posters seem so surprised. It's the same virtually every week, and especially big games. Saints final was one where we got equal treatment. Probably because AFL knew they could not win with their outs. But very, very rare.

I've got to say, hardest game I've ever had to watch. The amount of abuse I threw at the umpires for that shocking performance......with my 14 month old son asleep upstairs and a wife glaring at me like she'd knife me if I woke him....
Stress from all angles.

But GO YOU GOOD THINGS!!!!!!! So proud. Want to win it desperately, but after everything this year and the success of years earlier, I don't think I could be happier.

I thought my eyes were deceiving me. I’ll need to check the replay but could have sworn his own player took him out?

One of the greatest wins I have witnessed. Hostile environment, back against the wall, hated by the football world. But we did it.

Shove that up your clacker Kane Cornes!
