Disappointing to lose after getting a 14 point break early in the last qtr, but definitely a better effort than the one we witnessed yesterday.
Lyons has never established himself in the afl despite having every chance to do so. He is the epitome of not good enough for afl bit too good for sanfl that I mentioned. Ramsay is ok for where they picked him. No guarantee to make it at afl hasn't even debuted he is similar level to Austin so not sure how you compare him to clurey ? Cameron is pretty much afl first 22 for crows. As we have seen in this game he is icing on top type player who is up when his team is up.
As my post said this crows sanfl team is stacked full of bottom level afl types and too good for sanfl types
That's not saying there is no young promise or no afl level players in that squad , but it is stacked full of the types I mentioned

Final. Adelaide:104 Port:74
Summerton, Masters, Butcher our top 3. Butcher played his best ever game.
Not sure how Snelling only ended up with 9 touches, got first hands on the ball heaps at stoppages and played a big part in turning the game for us in the 2nd and 3rd. Might play an AFL game this year if we continue to struggle in the middle.

Good effort from port
1st and 4th qtrs were marred by baffling umpiring decisions ...
After the 1st qtr port worked harder to get numbers to contests and to space. Were cleaner then the first though still fumbly but cleaner at times in the 2nd and 3 rd.
Game was much closer then the end figures would tell you. Crows had more run and umps baffling decision making gave crows some sealers that they didn't need.
Crows great by foot , always going the short option and neatly hitting targets . Butch drew the ball and made contests.

I thought butcher was great. Yes he cops a lot of criticism for his kicking but he gives a better contest than a lot of AFL forwards

Disappointing but glad to see Port show some real heart after yesterday. Butcher was fantastic, if he keeps that up he still has a future at AFL level. Really like the look and speed of R. Young too, would make a a fantastic addition to the rookie list next year I reckon.

45 point turnaround in 15 minutes
Mitchell had 39 touches, 6 clearances and a goal, how did you see his game?

I checked the 3/4 time stats, the tingle ruckman had 22 hit outs to Ross's 13.
The tingle bloke finished the game with 43 hitouts, Ross finished with 15.
Ross may have been taken off, or he may have just run out of gas, but such a large hit out supremacy in 1 qtr would probably account for a fair slice of a 45 point turnaround.

Not as impressive as the numbers ..
Had some very good moments , and costly moments . Still in our bests just by sheer volume of work. His problem is the same as always. Works hard to run into space , fumbling the ball and poor disposal in both execution and decision making but through sheer numbers makes something work eventually out of his disposals just by getting it enough times something works.
I was thinking today how much our afl side needs a jarod Schofield and Mitchell isn't him unfortunately

Terrible last quarter. Hopefully both the AFL cows & cows reserves cop a few injuries otherwise the latter could sadly end up going undefeated in 2016

Geez looking at the stats, the younger brigade is definitely struggling a bit, Snelling, Johnson and Hewett all very quiet. How'd they look on TV.
Think Johnson will be a good player for you .
All first year players so should not be expected to be great straight up.
Hewett was unsighted for much. Snelling was always around the packs but didn't seem to really be doing anything , also I didn't see him winning ball in space. Johnson as a terrier chasing with pressure but didn't really do much with the ball.
Bonner was the standout first year player. Got a bit of it and kicking was super long. Needs to hit targets better but sometimes it looked like players didn't read it too well either. Seemed to know where to go to receive the ball. Good first up look at him.
