What a bloody boring game. Its hard to find positives out of a game like that. Both sides were deplorable at times, and also really good at times. But the bad definatly outweighed the good.
Richo did fantastic didnt he Jars?? That dead eye dick. 1.4...he got enough of the ball, but he just wasnt confident enough in his kicking i guess. Dont forget he did kick 12.0 last week, but the week before he kicked 6.7. 1.4, well isnt really good, but he got a few grabs. Kerley made comment "ive watched for a while now and i just cannot find a strong point in richardsons game" which was surprising. The crows SHOULD of thumped Freo tonight. The fact that you very nearly lost it, and it took another fadeout from Freo to kick some late goals.
Mcleod...magic is all i can say. 34 touches, many of those in a brilliant first quarter and a half.
Crows just cannot seem to put teams away...they kicked 4.13 at one stage from half time till the robran incident!! Thats shocking. Was almost a lucky win. Not convincing. But neither was Freo. If Adelaide played anyone else they woulda got beaten fairly badly.
Just about every crow player went in and out of the game at times.
I found the game to be overly boring...the best moment...well i cant think of one. Well done Adelaide for winning, but i think there is still a fair way to go for Adelaide to improve.
Fremantle - well they were a rabble at times. They are so handball happy its almost laughable. The maount of handballs they gave and stuffed up in their backline was just ridiculous. Kickett...he should do that more often. They really are just too young and raw at the moment. Schell is useless. Longmuir (the tall one) did impress in the ruck. Pavlich didnt do much. Bandy has to be the worst footballer in the league at the moment. I actually thought it was the pinnacle of players in australia?? How someone can miss not once but twice from 15m out straight in front, with noone near him is beyond me. That isnt Drums fault. They just seem to have no real set plays or anything, they mainly just kick and handball in hope that someone takes it. Waterhouse was great in his game back, but again he was there only real standout with Longmuir.
Scrappy game. Umpiring was baffling at times. Fletcher ran into the umpire....gee it looked VERY similar to Curleys, but you could tell he was looking at the ball and he seemed to prop when the umpire got in his way. I reckon Jarman felt sorry for him and missed on purpose
2 minutes later there was a 50m penalty or some sort of free kick which noone knew what it was for or who was taking it, it too a minute before anyone knew what was going on.
Robrans pretty hefty knock to the head looked really bad on television. REAL bad. Luckily he still has a head...reminds me of when Tredrea kneed Eastuagh in the head in the Semi in 97. His head just bolted forward....he will have a pretty big headache for a while and i hope he doesnt have a serious injury of anysort.
