WP they better un program this at half time otherwise we are done for tonight

Yep most probably

But more than that we need to be smarter around the stoppages.

We gifted them goals at the end of each quarter by not controlling the stoppage, bottling up and forwarding another stoppage

[Diocletian]

the man on man can be dealt with if we ran the ball

Good sides should be able to handle man on man football.

[mightytiges]

The Crows won the hitout (10-6), hitout-to-advantage (5-1) and clearance (11-4) counts that quarter, and booted two goals to none from stoppages.

Sam Jacobs won all five hitouts-to-advantage for the Crows and Scott Thompson won a quarter-high four clearances with both players launching a goal from stoppages.

Lucky to be just a goal down with Adelaide's total dominance in the middle.


Only winner tonight is Dusty.

Dustin Martin has a game-high five score involvements, including two goal assists and a goal, and he has gained 231 metres, the fourth most of all players.

Moving the ball quickly will also cause some panic and can disrupt their structure. Need to force some of their players to play zone rather than man. They will have instruction to play man so everything is 50/50 but they have plenty of weak links we could exploit if we just poke and prod a bit.

[Gigantor]

I also think they are far more physical than us

We should be able to take advantage of the man on man

Not fast or askilful enough

[WilliamPowell]

Grimes subbed out

That's huge

Batchelor now on Betts

[Lozza]

With all the media going on about how we bully teams it was obvious how Adelaide would approach the game. Almost reverse psychology by the media to ensure we failed this week.

Grigg fell for the same trick as Houli did against Freo. Defenders waiting for the sucker kick.

[tony_montana]

Can we be first to the ball just once???!!!!

FFS! Every loose ball these is 2 or 3 crows

[mightytiges]

Same here WP. Same here.

[Eat_em_Alive]

Not suprised but also dissapointed tbh
It's not a game that I thought we'd  be a walk up win, but still professional to slowly grind them away.

Fir up ffs 

[Francois Jackson]

Only a matter of time till they blow the game apart.

Why not stick grigg on dangerfield?? It's not that hard is it
