Surely no one is as bad as Didak

[Jim05]

3/4 Time
Crows 7.11.53
Dogs 7.9.51
Crows goal less that quarter

[GWW]

Dogs hit the lead.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Come on Doggies

[Jim05]

Crows back infront

[GWW]

A bit of lairising from Walker, he missed a certain goal. But they're up by 4 points.

Almost a case of next goal wins I reckon.

[GWW]

Walker now kicks one, and they're 10 points up.

[GWW]

Crows 10 points up with just under 6 minutes to play.

[Jim05]

Crows 16 up now

[GWW]

Dogs got one back Jim, only 10 now.

[GWW]

11 points now, 4:30 to go.

[GWW]

Point to Walker, 12 point margin. Not sure Dogs can do this now.

[Jim05]

Game over.
Ordinary game between two ordinary sides, Crows may make finals due to their soft draw but Bulldogs will be close to bottom 4

[GWW]

Collingwood by 21 points over Richmond.

[Squids]

Game over.
Ordinary game between two ordinary sides, Crows may make finals due to their soft draw but Bulldogs will be close to bottom 4

Yep ordinary teams for sure.

We will see how good the crows really are when they play Hawthorn next week.

I found it a really poor game of football, i expected the Crows to dismantle a very average side tonight.
Maybe it was the conditions but it was painfull to watch

Crows are only average themselves.

[Sojourner]

Crows still need a marquee player/s to emerge from their list, Dangerfield was well held tonight. Not very sure about Van Berlo being the Captain either, despite the fact that it was a win for the Crows I do think there are some hard decisions that the AFC need to make in coming weeks to keep repointing the list accordingly, more will be expected of the AFC next week in order to win one might think.

As much as Footscray might have lost, they still showed some pretty good coaching tonight when it counted, to hold so many AFC players was good football and to see AFC players having no options to kick to suggested that at least the doggies players were playing the game the coach required of them, wont be writing of the dogs just yet!

The Dogs tagged dangerfield last night. He did get away slightly at the end but was held well most of the game. The dogs will struggle this season, bottm 5 or 6 really. They slowed the game down and turned it into a scrap, but in the end they just couldnt get the score on the board. And if they struggled to get scores on the board against Adelaide then against Hawthorn, Collingwood, Geelong, West Coast, Carlton etc they will be further behind.

To me Adelaide just had enough power up forward to get those goals when needed. Scott Thompson gets alot of it, but last night there were alot of nothing handballs, I have no idea what his mystery injury is but I dont think he was moving as well as I have seen him. Still got plenty of it, so can still find the pill.

Final Score
Ess 16.15.111
Port 13.8.86
Great to get the win but I think both sides are well off the mark of the top few

A win is a win mate. But I watched the game and I reckon you guys have a bit of work to do. But still credit to Port they were not horrible and look reasonable at times.

But like I said, you take those wins and look forward to next week.
