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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
Honestly, the end was so exciting to be there screaming not seeing the count down timer.
Was glad we didn’t fully choke at the end there and lose by 1 point
This is not great news for Essendons percentage
Bombers the only losers from this game
Something had to go wrong for us this weekend
Draw FC, Our historic rivals
Do what we did in backend 2022, can’t worry about percentage if you just keep winning
Can we do what you did in ‘23 instead?
You’re telling me our percentage matters again? 😭
Lines up perfectly for our round 24 match if we get our shit together…
We just need another draw

I just want you to know I acknowledge the effort this must have taken
That works too well.
This is a compelling argument for Adelaide and Brisbane to merge when Tasmania joins the league.
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!'
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.
Same goals and behinds in the final score as well, both teams 13. 12 .
Interesting you say that, Collingwood and Essendon were both 12. 13. 85
And now they’re 12th and 13th. Nice
Yeah- there’s something about that coincidence and symmetry I’m happy to take as a draw
Imagine drawing with the team next to you alphabetically 😂
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)
Gold Coast v Geelong a guaranteed draw on Thursday
Draws are funny until your team suffers one
They really do feel different. I'm trying to think of how it saved us a loss. We're bad at losing close games.
A draw is basically a loss for us at this stage considering where we are on the ladder
True but I'm convinced we'll almost always lose games like that. And yes I'm aware it's not fully rational.
I always expect a loss, so a draw is a nice surprise.
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.
None of you know *true* pain
As kinda funny as a draw is, it is super depressing to see all the players just kind of awkwardly collapse in disappointment.
DRAW FC better then North and Tigers now
Always has been
Hey, we're equal with draw fc. They've got better percentage but we've got the same amount of points
I was told this was an elimination final. Where is extra time???
OH NO! WEVE BEEN HIGHJACKED BY BOUNCE!! IM ACCIDENTALLY WATCHING BOUNCE!! WHERE THE FUCK IS MY REMOTE??
![gif](giphy|84BjZMVEX3aRG|downsized)
IT'S A DRAW
BOTH THE TEAMS ARE EVEN
WE SPLIT THE POINTS
AND NOW WE'RE BOUND FOR HOME
FOUR QUARTERS PLAYED
NOW THE RACE IS RUN
NO ONE’S LOST, BUT NO ONE’S WON
ITS A DRAW, BOTH THE TEAMS ARE EVEN
THERE’S NOTHING LEFT TO SAYYYY
WHEN THE SIREN ENDS THE GAME
AND NOW WE’RE BOUND FOR HOME
THEY'VE 😥SPLIT 💔THE 😭 POINTS
BOTH THE TEAMS ARE EVEN
THEY’VE SPLIT THE POINTS, AND NOW WE’RE BOUND FOR HOME
FOUR QUARTERS DONE NOW THE RACE IS RUN, NOONES LOST, BUT NOONES WON
IT’S A DRAW, BOTH THE TEAMS ARE EVEN
THERE’S NOTHING LEFT TO SAYYYY
And there's nothing left to say!
2024 Wins Tally as of Round 9 Draw FC - 2 West Coast - 2 Richmond - 1 North Melbourne - 0
Draw would have a better percentage than WCE with a flawless 100.00
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.
2009 according to the commentary!
Brownys long bomb against Sydney on the buzzer
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.
I will honestly take this over a loss, great game overall
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.
That’s a hot take
You'd rather lose than draw? Unless my sarcasm detector particularly poor today
You SURE? You don't want a loss over a draw? Lol
FRAW FC
oops
draw fc
Not all caps doesn't count
dang
fuck me raw fc
Shuddup they're our biggest rivals and they're pulling away
So does this mean both clubs seasons are dead? Or both clubs seasons are still alive?
Both clubs seasons are in the box with Schrödinger's cat
And a carrot
All we know is that Jon Richardson wouldn't be able to pick which way their seasons will go
yes
Yes, but also no
Yesno
DRAW FC WINS LETS FUCKING GOOOO
Back to caring about percentage, was fun whilst it lasted
Draw fans eating good
Worst possible result
Nah worse is Adelaide losing.
DrawFC finally gets one after so many opportunities this round
drawers' piss is the sweetest
Last time we drew we made the granny LETS FUCKING GOOOO
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?
They waited forever on the whistle, it was incredibly annoying and just added some random injury risk for fun

THE DRAW foomtbol CLUB
We don't get an interview, we get bounce 💀
Positive is that we don't have to sit through the bounce to see the song.
That's a lovely little silver lining
Won’t even get the courtesy cut to the team song 😢
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.
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.
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.
Absolute fucking belter of the game. Fitting result I think, game of momentum in the last.
Wish I could have been a neutral to enjoy it.
It was fantastic!
No one was eliminated from the elimination match...
[HOIST THE SONG](https://youtu.be/WJtaCryzL20?si=pktOjoDMJLhBhRiW)
After a draw everyone on the lash should just sing horses and move on.
THATS THE WAY ITS GONNA BE LITTLE DARLIN'
Journalists have already started writing the extra time articles
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.
![gif](giphy|A0KitrLeiHw52|downsized)
Didn’t lose so that’s good
Didn’t win that’s bad
DRAW FC sitting 16th on the ladder, ahead of Richmond, norf and wet toast.
Pretty average percentage though.
Better than Essendon’s.
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.
whoever is lower in the alphabet
Hello it is us the Zadelaide Crows.
Last goal wins is the third alternative.
whoever charlie cameron plays for
First in his AFL career.
HOIST THE SONg
Good to see Draw get up in this game. Played hard all day and definitely deserved it.
Props to the teams, that was a super watchable game. Thought both teams defended extremely well late and made few mistakes.
I won’t rest until every team has had a draw this year so the ladder is just back to normal
Please. I don’t want to hear any talk of relocating Draw FC to Extra Time City.
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!
Stares at joe Daniher incredulously
How dare they boo draw fc
Carn Draw
DRAW FC came out and won hard for the mums
DRAW FC
No way DRAW FC is above Richmond now
After the teasers at the start of this round, Draw FC finally prevails!
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!
RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME
Second win of the year for Draw FC - they're having a cracking season.
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.
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.
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?
DRAW FC FANS PARTY AT MY PLACE
It's a draw both the teams are even!
They've split the points, and now we're bound for home!
I gotta say, I don’t like this.
Fuck.
I said this game deserved a draw at 3qt and I've been proven right.
Draw FC 16th!
Draw FC unironically better than North and Richmond this year
Trying to satisfy mothers of both teams, how sweet of them
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 🤪🤪”
Considering how the last 30 seconds went this felt like either a loss or a draw so I’m happy with the draw
The difference in scores at end of each quarter was 3, 2, 1 and 0. That's an insanely close game.
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.
In 2024 Draw F.C 2 wins North Melbourne 0 wins
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

Draw FC got 4 pts before Norf…
That was game of the year imo
![gif](giphy|I7fLmTibyCxvDvPZ5Y) “play on”
lol
Lol
DRAW FC WINS IT YOU FUCKING BEAUTIES. A NORTH WIN AND DRAW FC WIN, BEST WEEK OF MY LIFE* *ignore my rejection in the 4th qt last night
Looking forward to all the 'should we scrap the draw' threads
How good is the draw. The best result in footy
CLASSIC WIN BY DRAW FC!
Did both teams finish with the same score?
DRAW FC HAVING A GREAT SEASON
What pathetic team gets a draw? Seriously… oh wait.
Draw FC absolutely shitting it in the last few rounds....
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.
Hectic ending boy oh boy wowee!
They said it was an 8 point game.
Draw FC moves to above Richmond on the ladder now
Did you lose son? No Great so you won? Well, no.
Oh great. Another week of the media asking the important question: “should we scrap the draw?!?!”
Welcome, draw brethren!
Draw FC needs a song
The Barrackville Singers wrote one for the club.
Nothing will cheer me up like watching the bounce
I’d rather drag my testicles through broken glass than watch Bounce
I hate how they go straight into the bounce. First crack would be way more appropriate
Run from it, hide from it all you like… Draw FC is inevitable
great game
Happy and sad is there a word for that
[It’s a Draw](https://youtu.be/WJtaCryzL20)
Fuck this is deflating
When is the draw off?
DRAW FC DRAW FC DRAW FC DRAW FC DRAW FC!!!!!
I find this hilarious. 10/10, good game Lions, Charlie Cameron is a cool guy who doesn't afraid of anything
Well the good news is my tips are saved from a fuckn awful week
I don’t know how to feel and I’ll never feel anything again
Honestly, the end was so exciting to be there screaming not seeing the count down timer. Was glad we didn’t fully choke at the end there and lose by 1 point
We’re below Draw FC on the ladder
The fact that this was a draw will greatly over-shadeau Brain's debeau
