Cats v Crows, in progress (r)

[you_idiot]

I'll do a PBP here if possible...

Webcast info (outside of Fox Footy's coverage): K-ROCK in Geelong doesn't stream its audio, 5AA in Adelaide also carries the game, but I can't find a live audio link for them for the life of me.

If anyone else can provide the "live audio" link for 5AA, please feel free to post it here. Also feel free to chime in if you can help out with the PBP (Fox Footy viewers, anyone?)...

Cheers,
William

Quickie analysis:

With ten scoring chances yielding only three goals, the off-target finishing by the Crows is keeping Geelong right into the hunt. And with the Cats gaining just a bit of confidence at the siren, this game is closer than it looks.

Second term has begun, and the Crows waste no time... another major score.

Scott Welsh the goalscorer for the Crows on that last scoring update.

[you_idiot]

I've lost my connection to the AFL site... seems to have been stuck on 4:29, 2nd term, for the longest time.

If anyone would like to take over the PBP, please jump in.

Halftime (mercifully for the visitors)...

Crows a bit more on-target during the second term-- scoring four goals on five scoring plays while the Cats could only muster a pair of minor tallies.

Third term has begun, and the Cats have hit back gently, for a couple of minor scores-- but two goals as well, from Ronnie Burns and Brad Scholl.

Adelaide 7.9 (51)
Geelong 5.6 (36)

Another goal just scored, in addition to those I listed. I'll try and dig up that scorer.

8:26 gone, 3rd term.
