Apart from the third quarter I’d agree with you, the worry was that when we lost our structure there really seemed to be a few headless chook moments. Thankfully May brought them all in and steadied the ship, but the Stringer mark inside 50 was something we haven’t seen for a long time. 

I think that’s the best thing about this team though, when the oppo has the run on and even takes the lead there isn’t panic or blaming. Each line comes together and knows what they need to do to reset. 

FWIW Nibbler (who I like) stood and watched. I think he could/should have made a contest.

    Coaches Split:

    5/5 Oliver

    4/4 Brayshaw

    2+2 or 3+1 or 1+3 for Weideman, Langdon, Wright.

    Good to see all players got votes from both coaches.

    I watched the replay last night and I think we played pretty well and much better than has been . We were excellent in the first quarter and would have been further in front had we not failed to convert from set shot. The Bombers scoring shots were from lucky wobbly kicks inside 50 or 50m penalties.

    The second half was a bit more concerning only because of the centre clearance. As much of a weapon the centre clearance was for us in the finals last year, we were not a great over the course of the season last year. I would like us to be a bit more conservative in there.

    I still think the only way we lose at the moment (when our pressure is high) is if we kick poorly for goal and/or we get badly beaten in the centre clearance. Both these things happened on Friday and we still won by 29 points.

    IMO we only got smashed at centre bounce when our B-team of Viney, Sparrow and ANB were in the middle

    Weid kicked 4 goals 3 points had 11 possessions and 7 marks

    Curnow and McKay kicked 5 goals 1 point between them  and had 11 marks between them

    Most on here have written Weid off, and he has now shown that he can play at this level. I understand that it a small sample but he has shown what he is capable of.

    Let's hope he backs this up next week, he could turn out to be a very good player for us.

     

    Didn’t back it up

    • AFLW REPORT: Adelaide

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
