The Crouches are without doubt the 2 worst first choice midfielders in the AFL.
They are both getting monstered at centre bounces week after week.

And to think BC wanted $1,000,000 to not go to the Gold Coast 😳
Crows would get more value out of MC if they paid his salary at another club.

Sainters!!

Have sat through a lot of rubbish at Adelaide Oval (and Footy Park prior to that), so to see a win here at long last was very satisfying.

The umpires were a blight on the game.

•Fremantle supporters very salty for some unknown reason
•north melbourne may win one of their only games of the season due to us going home at half time in round 1
•crows supporters can’t comprehend just how much help they had from the umps to stay in the game

•crows supporters can’t comprehend just how much help they had from the umps to stay in the game

  • It's pretty much acknowledged that the umpiring in this round was inconsistent and featured odd interpretations of rules and inexplicable decisions
  • Fremantle supporters are always salty, especially after losing to big brother in another derby
  • North v St Kilda will go down as the reason St Kilda don't make finals this year
  • Crows might have had some help from the umpires, but it was also the umpires that halted their late run (unpaid Walker mark, just name one decision

Take the 4 points and be a little bit humble. St Kilda failed to make any case in this game as to why they should be considered a finals threat this year.

One of Adelaide's biggest issues is what they are telling us they want to do is far less effective than when they abandon the game plan and play on instinct.

Nicks seems to want them to play possession footy and kick and switch.

Both tonight and the game against West Coast, Adelaide looked far more dangerous using the handball run and gun tactic through the middle.

All smiles again are we because we’re back in Perth?

Just watched the Tex mark again, was robbed big time, would probably have been the team lifter the Crows needed to win.

He should have been penalised for 'Front on Contact'.

He had no eyes for the ball and was looking directly at the St Kilda player when he came in from the side/front and collided with him.

That's a free against Walker every day of the week.

How many times do you want to say the same thing differently. Don’t know if you saw the free kick count but saints didn’t win it. Also 5 goals from free kicks for Adelaide.
Precisely! The umpires, and I use the term loosely, are what got Adelaide into the game by gifting them the goals.
