Well done to both teams, that's how footy should be played, Crows with that little bit more big game experience.

Does anyone else get the feeling looking at the crows and listening to the interviews that that was their Grand Final tonight?
A lot of relief shown, maybe its the opposite and they will play with real freedom for the rest of the year

Crows just had that extra poise infront of goals.
One thing is for sure, we wont give you the space the Dogs afforded you tonight and we will go down swinging. Reckon we will target a few players early on and try to intimidate you.
Your leg speed definately concerns us


Yep no Tisso for Eddie next week, wont have 5 touches let alone 5 goals.

I love watching Eddie Betts play footy, so dangerous around goals. Defenders nightmare

Massive egg on my face.I can't believe it, I was 5000 out.... :roll: I'm still surprised though.

Did pick Adelaide by 8 points. But let's not overlook that crowd number.

Entertaining game to watch. Doggies had their chances. Botched handball in their final forward foray was telling. Walker superb in the match winning play that followed.

Now to avoid the Adelaide media for another week..

Incorrect, you didn't predict there would be 55,872 you said you'd be surprised if there was more than 55,000 there.

You must be having a heart attack the fact there was more than 60,000 there! :shock:

Deep breaths mate.

Sydney and the Bulldogs would be looking at wasted opportunities as the difference.

Dangerfield two very important marks late. Jacobs a crucial grab too.

Yep, Hawks won't be the friendliest lot. They will Go straight for Betts and Cameron, and why they are at it, a few of the Crows younger blokes.

You might be right to be honest. Hopefully we have a real crack and continue to play with freedom.

What a great game of footy, still haven't calmed down

Gee you have changed your tune in the last few days. That's the most sense and least arrogant post from you yet.

Regardless you have a point. it sort of was and now anything past this weekend is like a bonus and free of expectations.

Exactly.

Hes like all small forwards. They are outside opportunistic types. If your team is down and the chances aren't there then its unlikely they have an effect. But if its game on then of course they'll be up and about.

Well done Taylor Walker. Stood up when needed with some clutch goals and showed some excellent skill by foot at some critical moments of the game. Even with their bad kicking, the Dogs were in it until very late but they ran out of run about five minutes short. Great game.

His goal from 55 in the third quarter, and that centring pass to Cameron late in the game were pure class.

Great captains stuff.

How's his pass from the outer wing to hit Danger who was running flat out through the centre square.

Was an absolute bullet.
