GWS plan going forward suits Adelaides game plan beautifully.

Kick it high to a contest and let Adelaide run it out into space. Great coaching.

I'm unsure how Leon Cameron got his contract extended.
In saying that, the mature aged recruits offer them very little.

Giants would want to hope the rain stays away for the rest of their finals.
I thought Port were the biggest down hill skiers in the comp but geez the Giants dont want to work either way here. Wet weather footy is just to tough for them.

You might want to give the Crows some credit. They are doing to GWS what they did to Power in the last showdown.

Good decision to give Sloane a bit more of a rest.

No doubt, the Crows are giving them a lesson in tough hard finals footy.
None of the Giants midfield and runners have had an impact at all. Ego's galore at the Giants. Hoping they will be one of those teams that just keep losing prelim finals, bout 5 in a row has a nice ring to it.
Having said that the Giants draw opens up a bit now, avoiding the Swans.

One of the better halves of footy we have played. The non htb against tex and the one to sauce weren't there.

But the rest hasn't been too bad.

Crows just working them off their feet. How good has matt crouch been.

Dougy d Mac and tex all playing very well too.

Knight looks a little overawed.

Seedsman filling in very well for smith.

Go you crow boys.

Given the way the way the match has been played... it has felt nothing like a final.
