[Crankyhawk]

Really want to see this game between the last undefeated sides - but the afl app is poor and have no foxtel.

Edit - forgot brisbane - sorry.

 

[davis_756]

Could easily be the grand final preview assuming there isn't any upsets thus far, should be good to watch

 

[brucetiki]

Similar looking line up outside as there was for the GWS game. Hopefully a sign of a similar crowd.

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

Ha ha. Kelli Underwood on Eryn Phillips "Maybe she's been learning from Joel Selwood"

I said that in Round 1.

 

[davis_756]

Crows probably dominated that term but its 7-0 the other way because the 2 best players in the comp stood up at either end

 

[brucetiki]

Really scrappy game all round. Not surprising given then conditions, but Carlton cleaner with the ball, and that's the difference at the moment.

 

[Teen Wolf]

Adelaide have gotta get those DEEP forward 50 entries like in the 3rd quarter last week. The shallow stuff is just getting picked off willy-nilly.

 

[Bostonian]

These umpires are woeful.

 

[boncer34]

That's a fair crowd.

 

[davis_756]

12-4 free kicks to the crows, not helping them on the scoreboard

 

[parano1a]

Tight game, really enjoying the open play.

 

[parano1a]

That's a fair crowd.

9,006 official crowd.

 

[parano1a]

What a goal Crows!

 

[davis_756]

Couldn't get much better for the crows then that, look forward to beating them in the return game in 5 weeks time

 

[Bostonian]

Did this Carlton coach even instruct them how to play in these conditions. Doesn't look like it.

 

[Cyclonus]

For such a low score, that was pretty entertaining.

 

[passmark]

I know we got one free.

 

[Mkcaptain]

I only got to watch the last 10 minutes but the wind looked like it was going to make it very difficult for Carlton to get enough inside 50s to kick the winning goal. I can't comment on the umpiring for the rest of the game but Carlton looked pretty ill disciplined in the last 10 minutes. They must have been getting frustrated with the wind and some pretty bad skill errors.

 

[Tyrone Time]

17-14? Is it quarter time?

 

[Bluelegs]

Sam Jacobs commentary was so weird.

 

[jenny61_99]

17-14? Is it quarter time?

It was wet and windy.

 

[SuperSteele22]

 

[jenny61_99]

It may have been low scoring, but it was very entertaining. Those girls are playing a tough brand of footy. Some of the men's teams could learn a thing or two, including my team!

 

[Teen Wolf]

Think the match swung once the Crows got their act together down back late in the 2nd quarter. Vescio was always one-out and looking ultra dangerous up until that point. Against the more organised defence with a free player floating around in the right areas, it obviously made life difficult for Carlton.

And of course, the wet weather and tricky conditions had a say too. With all the big stadiums better protected from the elements, you don't see as much of that in the AFL these days. Roughly every second women's match has been played in a significant dis/advantageous wind, throws another spanner into the works and it definitely keeps you guessing about the result.
