I believe Adelaide's slowdown in the second quarter helped the Tigers get back into the game, and the Crows got a hell of a fright when scores were level in the final 20 minutes. That they only won by nine points — at home, against a far less experienced and talented Tigers team — should be cause for concern. Had the Crows gone for the throat in the second term, it could well have been game over by half-time.
What utter crap Walls
. The Crows slowed the game down to stop our run. We were smashing them in the stoppages and had 5-0 centre clearances in the second quarter. If Craig hadn't gone to tempo footy we could have been a couple of goals up at half-time.
