Horrible game in Adelaide 

I’m enjoying it. Lots of turnovers and skill errors but it’s a fast close contested game. Pies off a short break. Let’s see if the Burgess effect gets Crows home in the last. 

If Collingwood pull it off after a 5 day break that would be a mighty effort.

Unfortunately Adelaide are about 6 goals short of not getting overrun in the last quarter. 

nice to see some actual pressure put on ND

True. I dont mind a good low scoring scrap but this one for me is hard to watch. You wouldnt think they are two of the top teams going right now and bad kicking is just bad footy.

Yet they can be outplayed for significant periods of matches by average to good sides. It’s odd. Crows kick straight and the Pies would be almost out of the match. 

Exactly right. If you spend enough time in forward 50, with scoreboard relief (what Adelaide haven’t achieved enough), they start taking higher risks, but vigilance and trying to meet their pressure is everything. This quarter will be fascinating. Only 3 straight kicks down, knowing they’ve won 9 games of 11 coming from behind in the last quarter. Adelaide know this too! 

Jones having a purple patch

Crows will win this at home

That moment when you had too many anytime goalscorers and it's a low scoring game 

Crows have missed so many.....will it bite them...

Nothing surer than Pies winning this. Adelaide just wasted this game away. 

If Adelaide blow this...

🤬

Pies go up a gear. God damn I hate this team.

Yep. Game over now. 

Crows need at least 2 more goals

Umpiring in Adelaide is as expected...

Pies are favourites

Not on TAB

These umps are useless.

Millera having a mare today.  Been much better in the other Adelaide games I’ve seen this year.

Wow

No free for the broken nose

No blood rule

And then pay deliberate when the ball is interfered with by the bleeding player and 2 trainers helping him off

Wow, look out for the umpires in Adelaide

Looks like we're heading for a grandstand finish 

As much as I want Adelaide to win I’m appalled by this umpiring 

Great honest defender Maynard
