Good to see Freo get a decent win at home, also means Hawthawn now have a chance to get the 8th spot if they beat Essendon next week. Not that I'am a Hawthawn fan but would be a shame if the depending premiers didnt get a chance to defend the cup.

I watched the Crows/Blues game yesterday and this is my honest assessment..........as much as it pains me to say!!!

I can't see any team knocking off the COWS in September as long as they can maintain that same frenetic speed and intensity they displayed yesterday......Not Geelong, Not St Kilda and Not even Collingwood!!

You may well say that all 3 of those teams have beaten the Crows not only once this year but some even twice, but that was a good learning curve for them and they are so much better for the losses.

We learnt in 2007 that beating the best team on their home ground means nothing on the last day and I'm guessing that the 3 top teams won't be able to prepare well enough for the Adelaide boys.

As far as next week goes, with no Lloyd "The Sniper", they'll smash the Bombers by 10-12 goals.

On that note, Lloyd won't see another game this year and I can't wait till next year when the Hawks face off against the Bombers again.........I may even fly over for that one cause I'll lay any bet that it'll be held at the G, not Telstra Dome. For those that are unfamiliar with the bad blood between these 2 clubs ie. the famous "Line in the Sand" game, check it here, even made Wikipedia.

Line in the Sand Match

By the way, we won the Flag that year! :cool:

It shouldn't pain you to say it at all! :D

They played bloody good footy yesterday but I'm not 100% convinced that they can knock off St Kilda at their best. I fkn hope they can... Crows have a mathematical chance of making the four if the WB get flogged today and I'd take our chances against St Kilda away with a second chance

Watched us play melb today...we looked FLAT as a tack we've got a bit to do to get back to where we were 4 or 5 weeks ago. Crows looked good but carlton are neither here nor there, some weeks they play like a top 4 side and the other weeks i think melb could beat them!

Speaking of melb Liam Jurrah...what a star in the making melb will be a force in the next few years i think, i don't think Damien Hardwick can save richmond their in some serious trouble over there in tiger land...What kind of a spray was that for Choco to give his football team????? All the stuff he mentioned starts with him (fitness and yada yada) maybe he should look in his own backyard instead of blaming everyone else! He won't see his 2 year contract out at alberton

You make a valid point about Carlton, but I think the crows intensity and hard ball gets especially at stoppages can't be ignored. The amount of pressure applied by the crows especially defensively inside their forward 50 was awesome.

^+1. Also the ability to have Tippet useful both forward and in the ruck has made a difference since Moran's injury. At the moment I think they will struggle to drop someone to make way for an all australian defender (Bock)

This is my finals prediction........and after this weekend, it could be the 1st time in years that all remaining finals are held in Melbourne (possibly MCG).

But in front of 100,000 peeps on the last day...........Saints just!

well no surprises, the Sniper got 4 which is a season ender...........and possibly his career!

Shame really if he goes out on that note......you can't really compare him to the likes of Hall who's a thug.......would love either one at the Port ferals club though.

No way Steve.........I've known it all along! :):(

Damo, that is a good bet cause I think it's just the Vics that don't think the Crows can go all the way........surprisingly enough, I do think it'll be a Pies/Crows Grand Final.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
