Birdman lucky to get the kick he did try to play on...then tried to get the 50. Schnieds was lucky to get the 50 however the Crows player knew where the mark was a did go over it knowing the ump was right next to him :oops:

We definitely lifted in the last five or six minutes.

I hope the umpiring doesn't decide this game because there is no doubt the crowd will influence it in the last stanza.

Grammy going real well.

Little forward structure but Crows have 40 blokes back every time we go forward. This may tell in the last part of the game because IMO they have been running pretty hard.

10% increase in intensity and the game's ours for the taking.

26-21.

Ferals have been 1-3 metres over the mark all night, I think it's part of their game - I had been complaining to Ark jr about it - very reasonable 50.

And yes saintbrat would love some of your offerings. Last thing I had today was a wicked flame grilled chicken burger at some place in Maribyrnong after picking up a bobcat. 8-)

The umps are very good for the first 15 mins of each quarter, and then go absolutely spastic with ridiculous free kicks after that.

Gram and Schneider easily our two best. Our lack of defenders who can spoil is hurting us. We're moving the ball far too slowly and are letting Adelaide move it forward too quickly. And what is wrong with kicking to Kosi in a one-on-one? Surprisingly our rucks are losing the hitouts but winning aroud the ground.

Blake, Fiora, Gilbert, Jones and Kosi have done nothing at all.

Raph, L.Fisher and Allen looking good in defence. Dal and Xavier are using it briliantly but need to get more of the footy.

Gram with 10 of his 11 kicks effective (huge improvement on last week).

Goalkicking terrible.

Interchange rule should have been scrapped.

WE need Max / Goose back...without them the defence is looking shaky. Adelaide's forward line is looking the more dangerous by far. Gilbo is struggling as a KPP..getting a towelling from that kid Tippett. Only 2 of our points have really been missed sitters. Crows have missed about five gettable ones and should realy be comfortably in front.

Our kicking, both field and for goal has been ordinary at best. Crows use of the ball through the midfield is far better than ours

Wheres the numbers at the contest we had in the last 3 weeks?

No crumbers in the forward line when the ball hits the deck.

Grammy's been great, X getting among it, King a good 2nd quarter. Charlie had a good 1st quarter but quieter 2nd..bench time perhaps?

Hardly sighted...Fiora. Gilbo, M Gardiner, Kosi, Geary, Allen (although the last 2 have had limited game time i think and the delivery forward has been awful)

Really need to lift in the 2nd half...its one of those games where you sense Adelaide could come out after 1/2 time and click for 10 mins and its game over.

Was Gardiner at FF because this was the QTR that Kosi had off the ground? They said he was only going to play 3 QTR's.

Interchange rule imposed on this game is a prick and I worry about the repercussions.

Crap game, Crows s*** me no end with their mode of play and I just can't stomach the coverage.

Five minutes into first q I tried to sync a radio comm team with no luck.

Channel 31 may as well be covering AFL.

10 are a poor man's 7, who in turn are a space back from where 9 were.




On another note I think we'll win.

Umpiring has been lousy both ways.

Want Harves to have a blinding 2nd half. Bring home the silver and the Arthur Ash.

How good is the Scneiderman!!!!!!!!

Very creative with excellent use of the ball and 14 possessions.

Jones is a lot quieter this week....but he seems to be where the ball aint...

I am seriously disappointed with our delivery to our marking forwards. The delivery has been to the advantage of the Adelaide players almost every time.

The Adelaide running is showing us up badly at the moment, The look far fitter and we we are not tackling them. What I don't know will all that running wear them out in the last QTR in this heat or can they keep going at this level all night?

Our disposal into the 50 isn't great as we seem to being kicking to 1 on 3 and no lock down, back up or run, which means we are playing too defensive. By not keeping the ball in the 50 we let Adelaide run wide and set there game up as they seem to have more time than us as we run to defend.
