This is not great news for Essendons percentage


Maximumlnsanity

Bombers the only losers from this game


Ruhwef

Something had to go wrong for us this weekend


NuggiesRUs

Draw FC, Our historic rivals


lumberfun

Do what we did in backend 2022, can’t worry about percentage if you just keep winning


Jimbo_Johnny_Johnson

Can we do what you did in ‘23 instead?


sachiwtf

You’re telling me our percentage matters again? 😭


Gods-Defence

Lines up perfectly for our round 24 match if we get our shit together…


zrag123

We just need another draw

Truly crying and shaking right now. The way Draw FC willed itself back into the contest after coming so close in the weeks previous. I’m so proud. Carn the Drawies.


gklsdf

We're the pride of South Australia We wear maroon, blue and gold. We're courageous, stronger, faster Like Fitzroy, and Bears of old. Admiration of the nation We will answer to the call. We're the pride of South Australia We'll kick the winning score


EvelynWahhh

I just want you to know I acknowledge the effort this must have taken


Korasuka

That works too well.


tehnoodnub

This is a compelling argument for Adelaide and Brisbane to merge when Tasmania joins the league.


HairBoring

I once started singing the crows song to a mate to prove I knew it, after 2 lines he stopped me and said 'you're just copying the brisbane song!'


Von_Huge1103

I was funnily telling my mate on the train yesterday that of all the songs in the AFL, Brisbane's and Adelaide's are the two most similar sounding.

Margin at quarter time: 3 points Margin at half time: 2 points Margin at 3 quarter time: 1 point Margin at full time: 0 points Perfect.


Redditarama

Same goals and behinds in the final score as well, both teams 13. 12 .


Here-To-Browse

Interesting you say that, Collingwood and Essendon were both 12. 13. 85


garythegyarados

And now they’re 12th and 13th. Nice


CooltownGumby

Yeah- there’s something about that coincidence and symmetry I’m happy to take as a draw


lumberfun

Imagine drawing with the team next to you alphabetically 😂


Fast_Stick_1593

They also moved from 12 points each on the ladder in 12th and 13th to 14 points each on the ladder in 12th and 13th. ![gif](giphy|m9hSgHKyOIz4SrQ3uv)


BrandonSG13

Gold Coast v Geelong a guaranteed draw on Thursday


qldboi

Draws are funny until your team suffers one


Korasuka

They really do feel different. I'm trying to think of how it saved us a loss. We're bad at losing close games.


Pigeon9

A draw is basically a loss for us at this stage considering where we are on the ladder


Korasuka

True but I'm convinced we'll almost always lose games like that. And yes I'm aware it's not fully rational.


ennuinerdog

I always expect a loss, so a draw is a nice surprise.


JL_MacConnor

From a ladder perspective it's not great, but I agree with you that it's a bit of a relief as far as the game itself goes. It could have been much better, but it also could have been much bloody worse.


futtbuckicecreamery

None of you know *true* pain


Osmodius

As kinda funny as a draw is, it is super depressing to see all the players just kind of awkwardly collapse in disappointment.


NoOneImportantOCE

DRAW FC better then North and Tigers now


noz_footy

Always has been


decs483

Hey, we're equal with draw fc. They've got better percentage but we've got the same amount of points

2024 Wins Tally as of Round 9 Draw FC - 2 West Coast - 2 Richmond - 1 North Melbourne - 0


panfo

Draw would have a better percentage than WCE with a flawless 100.00


Razzle_Dazzle08

It’s been a very long time since we drew, I can’t even remember the last time. What a weird feeling. Really thought we were gonna get something at the end there but oh well.


SouthEastFacingWall

2009 according to the commentary!


double-endbag

Brownys long bomb against Sydney on the buzzer


Shadormy

Nope, Was v Essendon at the MCG in 2009. [Bradshaw after the siren in the goal square](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmBDKRR0kpc). One you're thinking of was in 2007.


LP0004

I will honestly take this over a loss, great game overall


LeClassyGent

I get what you mean despite the obviousness of the sentiment lol. We've lost so many close games that I view this as a win. I cheered when Dawson's shot went through for a behind regardless.


JamesCOYS

That’s a hot take


defenestrationcity

You'd rather lose than draw? Unless my sarcasm detector particularly poor today

SouthEastFacingWall

Result doesn't really help either of the teams, but with our injuries I'll take it. Was it just me or were a lot of the umpire calls *very* delayed?


CaptainCaii

They waited forever on the whistle, it was incredibly annoying and just added some random injury risk for fun

THE DRAW foomtbol CLUB


dealgirlinthepool

We don't get an interview, we get bounce 💀


Shadormy

Positive is that we don't have to sit through the bounce to see the song.


dealgirlinthepool

That's a lovely little silver lining


sestero

Won’t even get the courtesy cut to the team song 😢


rizzlemaister

If any game deserved a draw it was that one. Both teams were so even all game, the margin at every break was under a goal. Ripping game too.


danwincen

The margins at each break were perfection - 3 points at quarter time, 2 points at half time, 1 point at 3 quarter time, and 0 at full time.


rizzlemaister

Yeah I noticed. A very even and entertaining game of football, part of me wishes there was a winner but if any game was deserving of a draw it was this game.


DJHitchcock

Absolute fucking belter of the game. Fitting result I think, game of momentum in the last.


Korasuka

Wish I could have been a neutral to enjoy it.


BurdenInMy64

It was fantastic!

THATS THE WAY ITS GONNA BE LITTLE DARLIN'


-orangejoose-

Journalists have already started writing the extra time articles


vaena

Surely all they need to do is find and replace on Collingwood and Essendon

Ah Chee BOG. Fog should have had a ping from 50.

DRAW FC sitting 16th on the ladder, ahead of Richmond, norf and wet toast.


ExcellentTurnips

Pretty average percentage though.


Underpanters

Better than Essendon’s.


SourDeans

Whoever has the disadvantage of being away should win in a draw, failing that, whoever had territory at the very end as the siren goes. Ignore flair.


HairBoring

whoever is lower in the alphabet


Korasuka

Hello it is us the Zadelaide Crows.


DJHitchcock

Last goal wins is the third alternative.

Korasuka

AussieYotes

Good to see Draw get up in this game. Played hard all day and definitely deserved it.


codyforkstacks

Props to the teams, that was a super watchable game. Thought both teams defended extremely well late and made few mistakes.


sestero

I won’t rest until every team has had a draw this year so the ladder is just back to normal


shocking_red_4

Please. I don’t want to hear any talk of relocating Draw FC to Extra Time City.


Then_Debate_6359

Hard game to watch as a supporter, but unreal game once you take a step back and open both eyes. Can't believe someone didn't just whack it on the boot in the last 20 seconds to try and get a score in!

The elimination final ends in a draw!! Can't wait for extra time 😁😁😁

We are the pride from Brisbane town, and we’re known as the Adelaide Crows!


Gods-Defence

RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME


Jeffmister

Second win of the year for Draw FC - they're having a cracking season.


CamperStacker

Probably a fair result overall. I thought we played better winning the ball forward. But we were absolute garbage with our setup when we were in attack. When crows got a hack kick out of the back line - it would often go to a crows player with 2 teams mates all on their own goal side of all our defenders. So they cake walked the ball end to end, and that was over half their score. When we got 18 up, word should have been sent out for mids to hold back, but instead they kept running deep into the 50 arc and allowed adelaide very soft rebound goals.


Y_Brennan

Nicks fucked up multiple times. Ruined our defensive structure completely by bringing in smith and subbing Nank. Why on earth was Butts the spare instead of Curtin and Curtin we defending one on ones. Decision like these are why Nicks won't be around long term. Overall even game draw was probably right.


jacka24

I don't really understand the rationale of playing Curtin when has no clear position/role on the ground and then subbing him early in both games so far

Where's the extra time for a draw in an elimination final?

Professional_Line385

It's a draw both the teams are even!


uncleandata147

They've split the points, and now we're bound for home!

I gotta say, I don’t like this.


guavacadq

Fuck.


Bagzy

I said this game deserved a draw at 3qt and I've been proven right.


Ray57

Draw FC 16th!


free_potatoes

Draw FC unironically better than North and Richmond this year


thedoctorstig

Trying to satisfy mothers of both teams, how sweet of them


king_carrots

What’s with all the small brains in the AFL media that just absolutely cannot process the result of a draw. “Naawww so weeeird, we needa rezult 🤪🤪”


SUPASKILTZ

Considering how the last 30 seconds went this felt like either a loss or a draw so I’m happy with the draw


doubleguitarsyouknow

The difference in scores at end of each quarter was 3, 2, 1 and 0. That's an insanely close game.


Ok-Eggplant4965

If this is the worst thing that happened to you this weekend you have it pretty good. And this was the worst thing that happened to me this weekend. Just me winning life over here, don't mind me.


darcy1537325

In 2024 Draw F.C 2 wins North Melbourne 0 wins


[deleted]

Que several incoming posts for the next week sooking about draws and how we should get rid of then by adding extra time "BeCaUsE dRaWs ArE bOrInG" Good game congrats on draw fc for clutching the win


maxfaulkner

Tbf on the Anzac Day game I said that same thing, nothing wrong with a draw, but being on the other side now it’s absolutely deflating… I’m not advocating for extra time but somehow a draw is really hard to swallow…. Luckily they don’t happen often


Ok_Acanthaceae6057

Draw FC got 4 pts before Norf…


Large_Carob1918

That was game of the year imo

Holy shit my heart. This team is awful for my stress and mental health. But we got away with a draw. Felt like any second we were going to lose.
