Grigg at HB. Post marks back to Houli and slow play means Batchelor is pinged for holding the ball.

White gets the free back for holding the ball against Knights. To Lids back to WHite , Nahas inside 50 and it's OOTF (Vickery marked over the line)

Crows go coast to coast. Point

Goals: Riewoldt 2, Post 2, Nahas, Morton, Grigg, Edwards


RFCO:
Post, Grigg, Riewoldt, Vickery, Graham best so far  [ surely you'd have Foley and Martin in there as well]

Honestly, Richmond. Better conversion and reduced the margin

Vickery Looked good around the ground, marked strong, been a good lead up option

Helbig - Great pressure up forward and bobbed up for a mark

Crows get first clearance and goal of last qtr

Looks like Adelaide has woken up

helbig probably booked his place in r1 v carlton.

Martin weaves through traffic to Edwards to Jacko finds King at HB back Jacko (goes one handed). Free for "ducking". Lids goes inside 50 but the Crwos clear. But good tackling isn't rewarded and it's a ball-up at HF. Jacko gets a kick into Symes' head ... crows clear

Dea gets it to Edwards ... throw-in and now ball-up

Dea at HB over to Lids and finds Morton on the wing. High ball forward. Ball-up 20m out. Crows clear and the transition ends up with a shot at goal for Adelaide.

We might as well use this year as another to get games into the cubs. We're a bottom 4 side.
