NAB Challenge 3 - Richmond vs Adelaide @ Princes Park

[one-eyed]

Throw-in deep in Adelaide's forward line, White to Newy to Lids and mark to Jack but he has no one to give to. Houli cops a push in the back and no free. Crows stuff a chance and we get it but cough it straight back. Ends up a ball-up. Foley great work and the ball ends up with Post ..goes inside 50. Crows clear and it gets to Walker who kicks his 7th

Rance to McGiane to Nahas at HB but all Crows on the wing. White get it back at HB to Morton but he's tackled. McGaune now to Edwards long to Nahas who takes 4 bounces long inside 50 but it's spoiled out of bounces 20m out. Foley to King but coughs it up. Crows clear and McGaune at HB over to Nahas who finds Jack. Goes long. Jacko tackled. Crows clear again. White clears at Hb to McGuane to Jacko around the body shocking kick. It's a end to end merry-go-round but the Crows once again eventually find a mark inside 50. Point

Good 1-on-1 mark to Rance againsy McKernan. Over to Edwards whose the kick is intercepted.

Nahas to WHite short to Houli. Foley now (story of the Tigers). Now Dea left foot to McGaune. Grigg short Newy. All these possies for little forward movement. Playing for time now. Rance gets tackled and ball goes out of bounds wit hMcGaune under pressure.


Siren puts us out of our misery

Oh god ... now it's Cornes and Rucci

Time to switch off before the Adelaide for premiers talk starts

[Loui Tufga]

I only hope we played like that as a decoy for any Carlton spy's

It's only a practice match but still that was pathetic! We were lucky if we were competitive for about a quarter and a half today.

Hard to find positives  . Foley showed some good ballwinning signs through the centre in the middle quarters coming back from two injury interrupted years and Helbig showing glimpses as well that may get him a round 1 gig on the bench.

We still have too many slow (both in mind and body) and poorly skilled players but it's nothing we didn't know already  .

PATHETIC

[jackstar is back again]

cant remember the ball going inside F 50 in the last quarter.
Very very poor for an AFL Club.
No ball transit, no overlap.
game plan seems to have changed from last year.
very predictable today which allowed Adelaide to manufacture turnovers.

[tiger101]

I dont think we should dwell on this game.
Im more looking to see how they bounce back and perform in round 1.
