Wallace Urges Adelaide to Target Lever

When Grinter whacked Wallace, not even his bulldog teammates  gave a stuff. Everyone loved Wallets

They did target him, they kept kicking the ball to him.

Richard Douglas stated in a midweek interview they would target Lever by giving him the silent treatment. Clearly they didn’t follow instruction as Don Pyke showed them how it should be done at 3 quarter time.

...and they gave him SIX free kicks! 

I reckon the umpires were well aware of the tough talk in Adelaide media and the likes of Wallace stirring the pot, so were very watchful of Crows play on Lever. 

Goodwin said the only conversation with Lever pre game was to remind him 'to be aggressive at the ball'.  Lever is a smart young man he knew what that meant.  Credit to him for keeping his cool and didn't give away a single free.  He let his actions do the talking, as did the whole team.

That they were thinking about Lever means lost focus on real issues of game plan, structures etc. Lever's first contested win occurred in the first 5 minutes  and set the pattern.

Unproductive and displays lack of recogntion this is a professional game and they still have the Adelaide inferiority complex.  As Morpheous in the Matrix says, they are an ' artificail construct' , not  a real team like Port Adelaide or Freo.

You want a career? - leave Adelaide and come to the east coast is the standard saying ex-Adelaide people say to me.

Lever targetted Adelaide.

So comical this. At one point when the ball ran over the boundary line a Crow elbowed Lever as he was returning to his position. Lever just smiled to himself and kept going. It was almost as though he enjoyed the recognition.

He thrives on it. I think that's why they went with the silent treatment. The hotter if gets the more he loves it. 

As do Viney, Jones, Clarry, Nev, Hibbo, Melksham, Gawny.... pretty much the whole team.
