All good , thanks

Peatling BOG in first half when the game was on the line. Then ANB stepped it right up.

Thilthy, Keane, Keays, ROB, Pedlar, Milera….. all excellent.

It was really our best full team performance this year.

Wonderful game from ANB

Best on ground to 3/4 time

All good. Keane very very good

Keane is jackal and Hyde vs sydney. Guess it's great for his development to have a complete game like this.
Overall complete performance by the whole team. Everyone did their job.

 

[1990crow]

Never say never. Get top 4 and dare to dream

Yep. Opportunity is there for a team to step up and win.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Lulz Foxtel did the offside check - Keays was onside!

Defence was immense tonight. Keane and Worrell were excellent.

The skill and vision of that Rachele assist is incredible.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Pretty excited for Ogilvie that I’ve potted quite a bit that Rachele and Curtin look like ripper top 10 picks

 

[hippyhippy]

Bad: Jack Riewoldt pointing out we've only beaten one top 8 side

No need for that negativity. And his lack of faith in Nicks! Outrageous. He's a proven winner

I think we got to be realistic. The fact is we haven't. Still falling short against the good sides.

 

[WeeBlake]

All played well. Even Milera and Smith. Amazing night.

Keane was great (doubters have always misunderstood his role).

Rach has always had great touches, but now he’s getting a lot of them, every week. He’s a weapon.

Berry very good, just everyone very good.

TT, glad to see even Gary Lyon giving him credit for that freakish kick to Rankine. He’s a Walker-level field kick.

Umpires - well played, thanks very much guys

Edit - Curtin, best game so far. When we needed a mark, he was there and he took it. If he flies for a mark he is very rarely beaten.

Perfectly weighted to free him behind the defensive line

I flipping love Ben Keays

. This prick is gonna take us a long way in finals. Never ever gives up

 

[Geoffa32]

The top 8 is just eight Adelaide Crows

8 letters in Adelaide

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Nicks just said that he's concentrating on doing less

Keep it up I say

Classic case of less is more!

 

[Scorpus]

I think we got to be realistic. The fact is we haven't. Still falling short against the good sides.

Last I checked we have a winning record against all the top 8 sides we've played and beaten

I flipping love Ben Keays. This prick is gonna take us a long way in finals. Never ever gives up

He was crazy good

 

[FR0GGY]

1-6

****ing finally beat someone we haven't beaten previously under Nicks. Yeah Sydney were shit, but we equaled our biggest win against them.

Disappointed he didn’t pull this one out

Really hard to fault a 15 goal win hey?

Do that every week and it'll make following this team a treat

 

[pjcrows]

I'm pleased they've persisted with Curtin in the ones. It's going to pay off.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

There's a reason we drafted Curtin, this kid is a unicorn.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Nicks just rated Keane as one of best key defenders in comp and I agree

After Taylor at giants he’s right up there

Worrell also one of best 3rd tall hybrid defenders in comp if not the best

I was thinking during the game, if Keays had the awareness of a good player when he has the pill ( which I think is his issue...but it used to be kicking and he has worked on that so who knows) but if he did, he'd be close to a seven-figure player
