Good guys get a week off and a home prelim.
Made it to 3QT and we were cruising it.
Hopefully Rory Sloane comes back (didn't think recovery from appendectomy would be that quick but given they were hopeful for last night two weeks he should be killing it).
A sliver of nearly a thought that maybe we can make the GF if we get lucky ...

Isn't Sloane out with an ACL?
-
@antipodean i read yesterday it was an appendix ... and they quoted Eddie Betts who missed a week for same ...
Might have completely missed the actuality though ..
Will google

Earlier on Wednesday, Crows coach Don Pyke was far from committed to the concept of playing Sloane, now eight days after the All-Australian midfielder had appendix surgery. However, about 5pm on Wednesday Sloane was ruled out on medical advice``` -
I was there , what an atmosphere,
2 massive monkeys of their backs ,
Hadn't won a final since 2001 , and against Geelong had a 15 game losing streak .,

BOOM! What a game. Boy did I pick a winning team to support in my first year in Oz. Great atmosphere, sat next to an old bloke who saw them last win in 1980. Had a beer with my die-hard Richmond supporter mate afterwards. Couldn't wipe the grin off his face awesome to see and glad I was fortunate enough to be a part of it.
