2017 Grand Final : Adelaide v Richmond

[spot on]

Typical pro-Victorian umpiring

here we go again, think of something original.

[Gozu]

christ this is unreal

[Q.]

Rance phenomenal defending.

Jenkins is a ******* disgrace.

[bennymacca]

I think they are playing close to their best and we are average.

The Betts one for sure but over all I think being 9 points down your just looking to place blame.

Maybe look to your Skipper, Jenkins and co who have effectively given nothing.

I've loaded up on the Crows so trust me if the umpires were robbing the Crows I'd be pissed to but IMO it just isn't the case.

[carey]

I think they are playing close to their best and we are average.

Fair assessment

[Gozu]

You know this going in the Vic side is going to get just about every 50-50 call and you need someone to star like D. Jarman or a Shane Ellen to take the game away from the umps.

Yes, Richmond have been the better side but this is some of the worst GF umpiring I've seen in a long time.

[Wedgie]

FFS, I had Richmond to be in front by 10 points at half time to win a free carton at the pub, 99% of people had the Crows but one chick had Richmond by 9.

[carey]

Plenty of up side for the Crows. They still get it done I reckon.

[morell]

Greatest sport in the world

[Wedgie]

Crows will win.

[Corona Man]

Laird a better player than I have ever given him credit for.

We must be watching different games.

The Talia one? The deliberate out of bounds?

Come on mate

[The Bedge]

Crows would want to lift in the second half. That quarter was horrible, too many passengers, too many guys who seem to think it should be easy and aren't copping with the pressure.

Backlines for both sides have been awesome to watch though.

[morell]

Adelaide have to address the numbers at the contest. Jacob's is dominating, they just have to even it up in there and they'll get their share of quality clearances.

I'm looking at all our big targets up forward and I agree they have been shithouse. Normally when this would happen we'd have Mitch McGoven stand up. The forward line Need to lift or this will be over

[RustyCage]

Umpires umpires umpires!

Is Tex playing?

[PatowalongaPirate]

I think they are playing close to their best and we are average.

Fair assessment

Crows look average because of the way Richmond are playing them. Tigers have another gear so the Crows need to wake up.

We're complaining to the umps too much (IMO justifiably) but that won't get it done on the scoreboard and we need a few to really stand up in this second half.
