Forgetting about individuals for the minute I was most happy today about of forward pressure in the second half. We rarely allowed Adelaide to escape out the back when coming out of defence unlike in the first half where we allowed the Crows too much space to run and link up and get heaps of possession. We locked the ball in there after half-time and that allowed us to bombard the goals. 36 scoring shots is a good day's return on the scoreboard. Kicking 10.10 to 4.0 from the 10 min mark of the 3rd quarter is a smashing. It's now the job over the preseason to boost our fitness to be able to apply that pressure for 4 quarters rather than two and to learn to be mentality prepared so that it doesn't take a quarter or more to get defensively organised as a team.

No-one is deluded Ox, except those who think there is an instant fix for a developing team.  They are a developing team and they are developing just nicely thanks.  They are not crumbling under pressure when the game is close like it was today.  Adelaide were on a streak.  Some of the favorite whipping boys had corkers like Edwards, he was terrific today.

Adelaide on a streak?? ::) ::) ::)
They beat Brisbane, Gold Coast and Port in the last month.
Magnficent effort by the Crows ::) ::) ::)

WOW - Let's just beat norf next week! - GC and Port real misery games now  :banghead

You can hang poo on "our team" as much as you like, haven't  but deserve and could probably show as much as a Saints Swans Bombres in the first week at least.

Shame Carltank will play Eagles second week if they beat the bombres.

Easy to hang poo on your team when others can be picked apart just as much, we are getting there.

Bloody hell Tiges, 4 weeks ago a 5 week holiday to Europe was a good idea, another good result.

Hope the mrs has taped the games lol.

Never been a fan of getting excited about dead rubber wins, winning is great but winning when finals ladder position is on the line is a different ball game
Go Tigers!

who spent the majority of time on gunston?, 5 goals is a great bag I could only sneak in a few mins at a time to listen in

Looked like it was the Mailman that got toweled by Norman, EEA.

Yep it was Post

Wasn't a good game by Post - did himself no favours yesterday.... to reactive at contest and poor in the decision making department - disappointing game

Contact between Richmond's Dustin Martin and the Adelaide's Bernie Vince from the first quarter of Sunday's match was assessed. Martin tackles Vince and takes him to the ground. While the action of the tackle was a sling motion, a medical report from the Adelaide Crows Football Club stated there was no forceful high contact for player Vince. After reviewing all available footage, it was determined that no further action was taken.

Pleased with team attitude after half time. Pleased with King's effort in the second half. Missed some gettable goals so really could have buried them. Good for team confidence but not getting carried away with win. Got a lot of work to do.

Great game, good feeling pity it wasn't with something on the line.
All this talk about deslisting /trading is great stuff.
 
Is Newman untouchable?

In reality he would get us more than he is going to give. If we are going to be tough at the trade table would we trade Newman for Butcher?
