Good start

24/08/2013 1.55 PM - Melbourne are in front!

Pedersen in the ruck, Adelaide lining up for goal.

That is why Pedersen should not be rucking

Matt Jones' disposal is disgusting.

Matt Jones' disposal is disgusting.

It's not great.

Rodan injured not good, been playing well.

AFL stream is down. Rodan injury bad?

Rodan in hands of trainer. possible ankle injury

Yeah looks bad, not putting any wt through left leg

Good effort so far, whilst this should be expected it's still heartening to see. Can we maintain it...

And it's started back showing Rodan coming off the ground...thanks AFL

Toumpas looks 100 times more comfortable.

AFL stream back up.

D-Rod looks in a lot of pain.

Toumpas looks 100 times more comfortable.

and then he gets done for htb

Watts marks at top of goalsquare

and then he gets done for htb

A little bit unlucky but he did take the tackle on.

is viney being tagged? i cant watch the game from work, scores and stats look okay so far, whats happening?

Watts great one on one contesting.

Ben Hur , you wouldnt be happy with Watts doing well would you?

Please never leave, Frawley.

Personally I still don't think Toumpas has grasped the pace of the game, but its early...

Watts great one on one contesting.

Ben Hur , you wouldnt be happy with Watts doing well would you?

I wouldn't say great, he got that soft free kick by going to ground but he has been better.

Our talls look so above the crows but surprise surprise...midfield, Glad to be up at quarter time

Frawley and Dawes in the team makes a big difference

Fantastic 1st quarter

Nothing to complain about

I wonder what the odds would have been on us leading at quarter time.
