Remember watching this game 1997 Immanuel College (Adelaide )boarding house boys common room. Everyone thought the game was over at half time and left, only 2 or 3 of us stayed to watch the full game. A tough game by a super crows team...Darren Jarman one of the all time greats
used to feel sorry for the bulldogs players from this result, but now that Luke Darcy is a prick in the commentary box this footage makes me smile every time
Absolute classic match. Both sides giving their all. Darren Jarman class possibly the difference. The Bulldogs lacking composure at the death. Felt for them at the time as it was a heartbreaker.
Not a supporter of either club but there were four moments that went against the Bulldogs. Two were bad misses from Libba and Mark West and the other two were shepherds that should have been applied to help Chris Grant kick a goal and for Scott West to not get caught holding the ball. The Bulldogs were panicking and not thinking clearly. Great effort by the Crows especially Jarman, Goodwin and Smart.
I was at the game sitting behind the goals Ponsford stand end. As a Footscray supporter its the game we still talk about. I have never been to a game that had so much raw emotion as this game. There were people crying on trams as I left. It was like leaving a funeral. Unfortunately today the game is so sanitised and commercialised, it has lost the emotion of the 90's and even if the Bulldogs win the premiership this year, It wont be anywhere near as special if they had (should of) won it in 97".
Woodo Couldn't agree more mate! I'm a Carlton supporter who was at the 93, 95, & 99 Grand Finals. Walking out the ground in 1993, walking to Jolimont, as soon as I heard the siren, I started crying. There were people crying on the train, in the city even. These days there is no emotion in the game, which is a shame.
Just tragic in every way. Modra doing his knee. Missing out on the possibility of a Dogs v Saints Grand Final. The fact that the Dogs had control of the game (like North did in 98). Libbas point which was a goal. The Crows hadn't paid their dues like the Saints and the Dogs had. Such a devastating loss.
yeah, I remember Kangaroos V Crows 1998, when kangas kicked 15 behinds to half time. & I thought,- that is going to bite em in the 2nd half. & of course it did 😠😡
@@shannonpincombe8485 At least he had a premiership with them in 1991. The Hawks eventually bounced back and got 4 flags in 08 and the 3 peat (13,14,15). Meanwhile since 1997 1998 Adelaide has failed to take it's chances when it has mattered.
@@Seasiatravels More so The Western Bulldogs were lollygagging and missing their shots on goal with 6 behinds, no goals. Whereas Adelaide did the same, but scored 4 goals, at least.
Soccer is the greatest and by far the most important sport on Earth and is massive in over 240 countries. Soccer is the universal language that every nation on this planet loves. Afl is massive in 4 out of 6 Australian states. Still and always will be a minority sport in Qld and NSW. Soccer will be the number 1 sport in Australia by 2050 and every suburb will love soccer and every suburb will have its own soccer club dhffd
Incredible thing is are record in the home and away season against the bulldogs in Melbourne is appalling 4-15 yet were 3-0 in finals against them, irony.
sportjunky4371 you are a legend for uploading this. What a game, eh? I was specifically searching for HQ footage of the mark Jars took at 15:40 in your clip. Thanks, you made my night.
Crows fan. I will never get sick of re-watching this. We had no right to win this game. And yet somehow we did. Combination of Bulldogs missing set shots to ice the game, plus Crows excellent last 10 minutes.
He was in the moment, doing what he could. He was willing to sacrifice his own spot, for the team to make it. Probably wouldn't have warranted a suspension, back then.
25 years later, this is still the sweetest win ever!!

Was there at that game. Took me 6 months to get over it. Doggies blew it. Full credit to Adelaide......

Forever ruining the dreams of the Bulldogs...97, 98, 15!
the Bulldogs got their revenge in 2016 - finally Premiers again!!
@@AlonsoRules how is that revenge on the crows?
MUFC when
Anthony Kernich how is that revenge fucking idiot?
Nobody cares about the other two, just 97.

now i can watch this without fear.

The Crows just had the better fitness and run in the legs, towards the end of both 1997/98.
6:17 - That score at halftime was beautiful knowing what the result was. Bulldogs thought they had it in the bag and got stomped on!

What a comeback from Adelaide! So many chances to win it for the Dogs though
Best game of 1997
15:35 that was legendary!
He was a super player. I was very disappointed when he left the Hawks.

It's 18 years ago. How could you do it, Footscray? How could you throw away a 22 point lead? I still don't understand.
Momentum was with the Crows and they kept it
They kept missing the goals...

14:16 - My favourite part in the game KNOWING THAT THEY LOST!!
19:47 if that kick made it and we marked it we would of been in the the grand final that year
Since the Bulldogs’ 2016 premiership win, the “What if” aspect hurts us Saints fans even more than it does Bulldogs fans.
Not even a doggies supporter and this one is still heartbreaking to watch. Amazing match though

11:22 - ANOTHER GOOD POINT WHERE THEY HAD IT IN THE BAG AND THEN CHOKED BADLY!!!
September 20 1997
Adelaide Crows 12 21 93
Western Bulldogs 13 13 91
Tony Modra did his knee in the first quarter,
Upload the 1997 and 1998 AFL Grand Final Please
Awesome.
14:21 lmfao 😂
YOUUUU CROOOOOWWWWWSSS!!!!!
11:51 Mark West... his side is up by 28 points and he does something like that which could have made him the GF through suspension
He was in the moment, doing what he could. He was willing to sacrifice his own spot, for the team to make it.
Probably wouldn't have warranted a suspension, back then.
@rileyshagga2356 I reckon he'd have gotten a week. McCartney got a week in the '99 PF for a similar incident when North had already won...
Where was the best line from KB?
Shades of Barishnakoff at the MCG
This is why Brad Johnson can’t disguise his hate for us 🙄😆🤣
wait did the commentator say BOMBERS are in the grand final?
go crowsssssss... what a game. lol doggiiieeesss 97 98 2015
7:15 - Way to potentially RUIN your WHOLE SEASON! WELL DONE!
How annoyed would a Dogs fan, who hadn’t seen/ wasn’t aware of this match’s result be with the click bait image??
Pretty iconic image though lol, I honestly can't remember if I picked out the thumbnail or if it was just randomly picked by youtube.
Doggies thought they had it after Libbas point!
Obviously holding the ball didnt exist in 1997.
When will we win a second flag???? I remember this game and the flag should of been ours.
2016 is our year
Yeah, cheating your way to a premiership.
thesupplantor don’t cry x
@@thesupplantor i’m back, imagine crying cause we won lol
@AussieTiger HAHAHAHAH yeah we cheated to win the flag? wow just as i started to like richmond fans, you pull that. 😂😂😂
20:06 Great moment :)
Whatareya?
Darcy was very over rated but West could have have been a star
Classic
Why didn't Grant just soccer it off the ground? That's what they would've done today.
Western Bulldogs vs ***** in a 1997 Preliminary Final #WBDvsADE #AFLRetro
Whats with the thumbnail? It's as though the dogs won
It's a famous picture, thought it suited well as a thumbnail.
Jarman’s mark was better
19:49 Throw much!
It sure did look like a throw.
LOL
They actually used to call that "the Crow throw" back in the 90s.
14:16 yeah cool adelaide won… but wtf is this shit!?
