AFLW GAMEDAY: Grand Final vs Adelaide

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

Seems a pretty ordinary crowd for the only Adelaide based team that are any good

She's had such a sub standard year this year. She can be a real weapon for us in the past but she just seems off

Quad injury 3 weeks ago. Still limping last week

Strangely I still think we are a chance. As the game opens up more we can run them off their feet. Put shelly Scott to FF and Harris to CHF. Randall is in her head.

Need more from Hanks too.
Fantastic last year and another who's done nothing this year.

Nope. AA squad this year.

And that's the trick, run run run.

Footage of Crows handballing to each other in the rooms and us sitting on chair chin wagging telling.
Adelaide far cleaner.

I don't rate Zanker at all the way she currently plays. To me, she's like a big unbroken horse (not in any way a physical comparison - just in terms of attitude and demeanour) - but no one can make her behave sensibly. Obvious power and skill, but cannot reign it in to be of benefit to the team. Just goes the don't argue, see ball get ball at all opportunities.

Really .... Dunno how.

Need to move it more quickly. Run and kick.

Crows setup is strong and composed.  Defenders ready for standard kick.  

Skills of AFLW don’t support high possessions game.  Just run run and run and kick. Overlap run.  

Crows are very very good contested footy team.  

who can win it ? TAYLA Harris.

We’re still a chance.  Go Dees

You reckon a few more handpasses will fix our issues, or a bit of talking? A lot of our problems in this game relate to game plan - you need a lot of chin wagging to come up with a new gameplan on the fly...

"Use your speed" 
– Direction from the coaches

Amen

EDIT: Well that's a censored start

Another mistake for Birch. Pathetic defence 

[Fork 'em 7,008]

Game over.

Am I going crazy or did others hear a clear whistle after the ball was kicked and before the mark in the square??

[Mr Steve 3,820]

We need a Bang--Bang bang bang and we need it now.

[dees189227 12,432]

Not the best start. But they have an open forward line & get it in quickly. We just hand pass it

[Clintosaurus 7,901]

Crows get forever to dispose of the ball. Other thing is we just do not show accountability.

[BDA 22,955]

should have moved the ball on quickly to bannon there rather the waiting and kicking to the 2 on 1. This slow play is getting us nowhere

[Chook 15,022]

We're simply not fit enough to beat Adelaide. 

You can't beat a side that runs that much harder than you that you're always outnumbered.

[spirit of norm smith 16,596]

Slow and slow and kick to a contest. What’s the strategy !?!?!?! 

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

We are scrapping hard, but Adelaide are simply bigger, stronger, faster and more skilful.

[dees189227 12,432]

We are just crumbling under there pressure
