Crows win, I drink beer

As Richo explained to me, the Crows pick a particular quarter each year and choose to play that at their worst. This year it is the third quarter, every fucking game. So they kicked eight goals and kept Carlton goalless for the first half, then went on to score only one goal and concede five in the third quarter. Usually they finish the match by playing desperate catch up in the final quarter, but this time they had a decent lead and ended up winning by 44 points.

We still need to improve if we want any chance of reaching the finals. Although that could be a moot point anyway, there is just no comparing the Crows with gun teams like St Kilda and Geelong.

Of exciting note: AAMI Stadium (great porn star name right there) now allows the purchase and consumption of beer in the stands, so myself, my old man and Richo downed a few frothy pints while watching the game. I’ve always found Sport as “something to do while I drink beer”, and not vice versa, so the new Stadium Beer laws pleased me immensely. There’ll be no more games where I travel all the way to the stadium, hit the bar at first quarter time with a mate…then spend the whole rest of the afternoon trapped in the bar sipping beer watching a tiny TV screen, while the actual game is taking place a few meteres away.

Hopefully not anyway.
