Didn’t get to watch the game last night, good win


Call me a wuss but I’ve just seen Gary Rohan kick his goal and the way team mates reacted and the fans a standing ovation (even a Crows player smiled in the background) got me so emotional. Footy can give us the shits but boy it can repay too. I really feel for Gary and family and the way everyone got around him was sensational. That’s one of the reasons I love footy!

Tex rated BOG on afl.com.au but thought seedsman should be. Kicked 3 goals to half time including 2 early in the first when needed the most. Probably more than serviceable ;)

Fair enough. I thought his first 2 goals were gifted. The one from the centre square was a good roost. He still had a few doh moments, in what I thought was a pretty even spread of good players.

Apologies. I have no idea.

Game went as expected. 1/1 for the weekend so far.


You do realise knucklehead that the only people who picked or backed Adelaide were those who got there pet llamas to spit on the paper tips & pick off that?

Thought Walker led up the ground with authority last night and the amount of times he had his arms chopped showed how much of a handful that he truly was. Crows didn't **** around with the short centering kick last night and got it straight to CHF from HB. Often it was to a 2 on 1 but the big bodies were good enough to bring it to ground. As good a win I've seen the Crows have in a long time.
Can you bring a man to his feet when defeat is on repeat?

Just watching the replay, umpires are very quick to play on any player who goes off their line. See if this happens in the other games.

Just heard Brian Taylor say that Adelaide has the highest winning percentage of all teams at the SCG, including Sydney.

But you know who tweets: "CROWS: @Adelaide_FC defy all the obstacles to score rare win against Sydney at @scg @theTiserSport #AFL

Funny I was thinking last night we've probably got a better record against them in Sydney than we do at home.

I think Sydney have only one player (Hannebery) with shoulder strapping which says to me that they have had a rethink on the value of shoulder strapping. Its usefulness is very limited.

Any other teams doing this? Adelaide have plenty with it on.
