Handballs were generaly hitting the mark under immense pressure. I thought that it was the blind kick into 50 where Melbourne had got back in numbers was the thing that hurt the Crows. Too many easy clearances from the Melb defence due to their fooding tactic. With so many young players the Crows are only going to improve.
While Adelaide didn't flood at all and didn't chip the ball around did they..heaven forbid I even suggest such a thing. Adelaide were below their best and it was Melbourne's best effort of the season to date. I thought the Crows won three of the four quarters but the Demons refused to give in. An entertaining game with the sheer ar5e of Burton turning out to be the match winning factor in the end.
Some observations..
1. Carrara is not up to scratch for an AFL venue.
2. Qlder's have got no idea. You had to walk almost all of the way around the stadium to get a Pie! Do your research you blokes!!
3. Beer sold in Cans. Nice work that.
4. Weather was quite cool, made me think of home!
5. Some nice talent at the game
6. A good effort by Byron Pickett today I thought, might be starting to get used to the new team.
7. Davey is a freak.
8. McLeod just has to run on to the field to get in the best players list for Adelaide.
9. Burton is a freak (when he's 'on')
10. Adelaide have far more 'reliable' players than the Demons, kudos in particular to Goodwin, Edwards and Hart.
11. As interceptor pointed out, getting out of the ground was a big 5hitburger to eat.
12. Lots of teams represented by the supporters.
13. Had to laugh at the 'Keep North at Arden Street' sign. Hope he has more luck than the bloke that made the 'Keep South at South' sign all of those years ago.
14. Cararra has without exception THE worst PA system I have ever heard, bloody awful.
15. Didn't meet up with interceptor..someone must have er..intercepted him LOL.
16. A much better day than sitting at home throwing things at my TV during Geelongs 5hithouse pefromance on the Saturday.
