Adelaide's problem wasnt their midfield today, They had enough quality ball but their structure and personal were wrong
Their foward line didnt fire a shot Jenkins,Lynch,Betts,walker & Cameron were all extremely quite and didnt fire a shot but they did have ample supply .
Backline was way too big and not mobile enough to get the ball moving out,Smith and Gov would have made a massive difference but still too big and needed more mobile backs.
Richmond has done exactly the same thing to all 3 finalist we faced and all were top 4 teams, Tiger players are electric quick with massive tanks and run over the teams in the 3rd & 4th quaters - David King went on about it and is absolutely correct
Game will change again and 2018 will see more runners that can run all day - Gibbs wouldnt have changed the result

That was telling as was their poor goal conversion. Not kicking a goal in the 2nd or 3rd quarters its game over.
Hats off to the Tigers, they just didn't let the Crows play their brand of football on the day.
