Cop out.
Aim lower, or be stronger in the tackle.

We got it wrong in the coach’s box and some of the senior players had bad games which you can’t afford to do against good sides.
Douglas (possibly has the worst game of his career – missed 2 easy set shots and finished with 9 possessions, Walker (got his hands to about 20 marks, finally plucked a few late in the game and set up a few goals – form will come) Betts, Thompson, even Sloane well beaten!
We went in too tall/slow in the backlines. Hartigan or Cheney needed to be rested for a quicker/smaller player. Hartigan on Stringer again was a horrible move, should have learnt from last year’s game! Dogs did it well, took Talia high up the ground and Hartigan to the goal square.
We were smashed in the midfield (-21 contested possessions) and we aren’t going to win many game conceding 68-37 inside 50’s!
Positives out of the game IMO were the fact we only played about 30 minutes of good football and nearly pinched the game (If Sloane was paid that mark late in the last quarter to put us in front we might have pinched it) and our ability to score 17 goals from 37 inside 50’s. Jenkins and Cameron our best Saturday night IMO.
While the umpires didn’t help us, it was far from the reason we lost…it was probably the ones they didn’t pay rather than the ones they paid the Dogs as they were mostly there as they were first to the ball.
Expecting a better 4 quarter performance at home this week!

I had a look this morning, Adelaide average 45 rebound 50's per game, the most in the league.
Gold Coast 42, Collingwood, Essendon, Port and Brisbane 41. The Bulldogs, the least with just 29. Geelong and Hawthorn with 33.
So while Adelaide's forward line is as good as, if not the best around, it's the back half that's still a worry and the North, Hawthorn and Bulldogs losses while only small margins show the top sides are being given too much opportunity by Adelaide to hit the score board.

Was he being dramatic to say he is sad when it is claimed to be the fault of the umpries or was he actually saying he is sad because it is the fault of the umpires?

I took it as he was saying he was tired of people blaming the umpires when the Crows lose

Yep.no worries, as I didn't hear the discussion it was hard to know what he meant.
