Spargbol!

Lever has been good.

can't see what's ahead of him on tv. for all we know they had numbers down back.

ANB having a shocker.

We look better this quarter.

Come on Trac.

They have numbers waiting outside all the time.

Woah May is playing.

Yep, we spooked.

Considering Adelaide's transition and pace, I think it was the right call. Brown's defensive deficiencies are no secret.

May be the slump we need to have. Can't see us beating Doggies on current form. It's all good.

We weren't spooked against North. Crows are a much stronger outfit. Genuine 50/50 contest now.

They are using the ground space much better than us. We are going direct and turning it over and their transition is slicing us apart. Our mids need to enhance defense pressure.

Bounced the ball while tackled. Holding the ball. No call.

80s rock with Go West - We Close our Eyes followed by Bob Sinclair playing in the pub here over the game and it's infinitely better than listening to Ricciuto.

Backline and forward lines both struggling massively. Crowd transition out of defense is putting us under huge pressure. They always have 2-3 players waiting to rush it out. We also are badly missing Salem.

They're not really.

Jackson is killing it.

They run out to a Nigella Lawson podcast.

Grant Thomas, 2006.

The Dogs have silky class across the ground, and a lot of pace. At Marvel it's going to be our toughest assignment by a far margin. We can't go into the game with both Brown and Weed playing.

VKCrow isn't wrong. They don't seem to be "playing for draft picks", they are punching a bit above their weight already the Crows, and like Carlton, Gold Coast, Freo, they'll claim a few scalps this year as has already occured, albeit earlier in the year. They lack experience and polish around the ground but if they can straighten up and play direct they are dangerous. Fast and hard into Tex and even May can't stop him. He's a big boy. Make no mistake this will be won based on defensive accountability across the middle, which we've been superb at doing all year. But if the likes of Oliver, Trac, Brayshaw and Gawn drop off a bit in defensive accountability the Crows can still score quickly. Not a massive scoring team but if Tex kicks 4+ then it could be in danger of being our first loss.

I thought Carlton would be because they score well but Adelaide is a terrible defensive team and also doesn't score all that heavily. I'm trusting our team more and more, we're going to have to have breakdowns in all areas of the game to drop a game like this.

What was the crowd for those at the game?

This commentary is nauseating.
