Autopsy Awesome, and some would say, unexpected win to the Pies over the Crows

We have a group of players who look to have settled into the game plan and who are playing for each other. The belief factor is massive in a team, and we look to be taking every challenge head on.
Looks like a great position for the club to be in with Moore, Wells, Elliott, Fasolo and Adams all out. The competition for spots is as healthy as l can remember. Despite who you are and your playing ability, looks like this maybe a tough side to break into this year.

Grundy and Steele obviously were stand outs. 40 possessions for Steele plus tagging Sloane. Ridiculous

If we can finish above the ledger through this tough start to the year our draw becomes much easier. We will put ourselves in a good spot to play finals
 
No "I told you so's" or "Where are you now's" tonight. Just enjoy the win.
Not even me? Never lost when I have been to watch in Adelaide!
I :hearts: Adelaide:D.
 
I just don't know. Like wtf. Overnight we have gone to an amazing unit.

Stephenson - I'll eat my words I thought he needed a rest. Well done on selection on backing him.

Grundy - wow

Sidey - towled up Sloan.

Pendles - Not an A grader? Bahaha.

The game has changed. Fasolo will seriously struggle to get in. Will need to truely prove himself
 
Wow what a win. Congratulations.

Sidebottom a smokey for the Brownlow or will Treloar and Grundy take too many?

****** my tips like a fair chunk of others but it was great to see Adelaide's pants get pulled down over there.

I would say Sidey would have polled 6 votes the last 2 games now.

The Good:
· A great win on the road
· Five players with 30+ possessions with a further four players with 20+ possessions
· Sidebottom was magnificent with 43 possessions of which 26 were contested; 12 clearances and shut out Rory Sloane
· Grundy is in Brownlow Medal form. 33 possessions; 23 contested; 40 HO; 6 I50’s; 12 clearances and a brilliant running goal
· Treloar with 36 possessions; 19 contested; 11 tackles; 10 clearances
· Pendles
· The relentless pressure from the forward, mid and backline
· Brilliant transition from the backline to the forward line and converting shots on goal
· Lowering our eyes when kicking into our forward line. Twice in two weeks. Is this the new norm?
· 10 goal kickers
· Position recruiting by the Pies. The recruiting of Murray looks like a bargain and a masterstroke in the making
· Sam Murray and Jack Crisp’s run off the half back line. Crisp’s demolition of Tom Lynch
· Stephenson was brilliant as was each of his 5 goals….
· Our ball movement and constant running
· Another great coaching game by Bucks
· 27 disposals per goal. We also scored 44.8% of the time we went I50
· I love De Goey
· Aish and Brown continue to impress
· The best 5 disposal game I have seen. Cox was huge and created contests and space.

The Bad:
Stephenson attempting a banana kick despite being only 35m out on a light angle
Adelaide
The umpiring being sucked in by the supporters

The Ugly:
Tex Walker. Has a head even a mother couldn’t love
50/50 Umpiring decisions. Adelaide had 5 goals from free kicks (incl. two 50m decisions). Umpires only started evening up with 3 minutes to go and Adelaide had no chance of winning
 
I'd like to thank the umpires tonight for the respect they showed us. It was great they way they didn't completely fck up my viewing experience or anything. I really enjoyed their make it all about themselves approach to officiating the game.

The one flaw to this otherwise perfect win. They should be accountable, but they are ineptly not. Unfortunately.
 
Amazing win,i'm still stunned to be honest.Grundy and Sidebottom have really come of age this year.Stephenson looks like he could be anything,and Murray looks like he's worth four second round picks(well almost,anyway!)
