Adelaide have now scored 100 points + 15 times this season. How many teams have more?
As I said in a previous post, I guarentee the coaching staff would not be satisfied with the amount of points we have had scored against us.
GC, go to Tassie. Don't know if you've been there before but GO TO TASSIE
I want to but not this season. I had half the money as well
We are genuinely good this year. I just hope we can sustain it into the finals! Long way to go yet.
Need give a few other players a run during the year long seasonWhat a great performance by the Crows
If Richmond can put it all together they have the makings of a great side. The first quarter by them was some of the best footy I've ever seen any team play. It's only our insane inside 50 to goal conversion rate that kept it as close as it was. That said, I know it's a bugbear of mine (and most Crows supporters), but what a pissweak performance by "the best defender of all time" Alex Rance. I guess it probably wasn't his decision to not play on Walker, but if you're that good, and the opponent's leading forward has five goals in the middle of the third quarter, then why the **** aren't you on in him? It's absolutely criminal that Rance has been so decorated in his career so far while Talia, an infinitely better defender, is still in the "oh, I didn't realise he was that good!" category.
Jake Kelly, what a great return. Even his usual kicking yips weren't too bad. Between Talia, Hartigan, Lever and Kelly, along with Otten playing forward and Cheney in the wings, we have a serious stockpile of AFL-quality tall defenders. Lever really impresses me with how quickly he reads the ball. Can't wait for him to start clunking a few more marks but damn, he is in the right spot almost all the time!
Crazy to think that Jenkins and Betts both had poor games and we still kicked our usual 140-odd points. This is something that's really reminded me of the 2005-2006 days, we seem to have double figures of goalkickers each week now. The difference between now and then is that we also have an extremely strong forward line. Back then it seemed our midfielders kicked the goals because it was more reliable than hoping Perrie or McGregor would clunk a mark. No such problem in 2017!
38 touches from Matty Crouch is crazy, and Sloane and Laird both continue their absurdly good form. Sloane is an absolute beast, but Laird is ridiculous as well. How does he get so much of the ball every single week? And he uses it so well. At one point he had 23 touches and was going at 100% efficiency.
Jacobs was brilliant today too. He seems to be good for one outstanding performance per month in between his other reasonable performances.
Other than Knight in (probably for either Milera or Mackay) I think we are currently playing our best 22 players. Have to feel for the likes of O'Brien, Poholke and Greenwood, there doesn't look like being all that many opportunities to break into the Crows side this year!
Not be technical??? Goodness what is this rubbish??? I could throw barb's back if that's what you want? Instead of trying to conceal your intention to harm just bloody be blunt. The whole point of your response was the jibe about 2013, the rest is wasted camouflage.
Dude, won't they let you on your board?
McLovin is in our best 22.What a great performance by the Crows

No preseason. Looks off the pace
Yeah...I think he and Knight would be best 22. Mackay or Milera and possibly JJ out when these two come back in. To me we look better balanced with Otten up forward rather than JJ.
Seemed like once the game was gone they gave us a lot of cheap ones we had no hope of getting earlier in the game. I remember a 30 second period where we got about 3 in a row that I'm certain wouldn't have been paid if the margin was less than 10 points.
Except he needs the first 3 to warm up.
