    Well..

    ...we really needed a certain J Ball for this game. getting killed at stoppages at hit outs hence giving the adelaide players first use of the ball.

    Come on LRT time to step up...

    I would imagine that would be the Crows' game plan to create as many stoppages as posible knowing that Swans don't have a ruckman to pair with theirs. I wonder how will Roos try to counteract in the 2nd quarter.

      Umpires are a re a disgrace to this game. I have lost all forms of respect for the canaries.

      That was a soft free kick to shaubs.

        I've checked the stats and they are all over the Swans. The Crows stats are better than ours in any category (even in free kicks! ) and hence the lead. If our midfield doesn't lift in the second half I'm afraid this game is over.

          IMHO, for the first half, what has been killing us more than anything is those little fumbles that show we're worrying about getting rid of the ball as soon as we can, rather than worrying about getting clean possession and then disposing of it.

          The poor handling is costing us that split second of time that makes all the difference.

          I'm on the Chandwagon!!!

          If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

            Adelaide's midfield are VERY good. I think our defence is doing pretty well, and the forwards are handling the situation ok with what delivery they're able to get. We're being killed at stoppages - essentially we have to keep it moving as much as possible. I thought we matched them alright in the 2nd, but will need some sort of inspirational burst to win it. Someone has to stand up.

            177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

              Crows midfield have been good. They have shut us down and put extra pressure on our defence. I suppose we have been exposed again.

                Crows kicking into a 4 goal wind could be a major factor.

                If we lose this game we drop back down to what..6th? This season is just too intense..bah.

                  The umpiring is crap.

                  Anyone have any stats about home town umpiring - particularly in Adelaide? It sucks!!!
                  We hate Anthony Rocca
                  We hate Shannon Grant too
                  We hate scumbag Gaspar

                    How about the ground?

                    Maybe we need to train on a bog patch because the ground looks just as heavy as last time.

                    Maybe thay leave the sprinklers on overnight.

                          Good rally in the 3rd. We can still get there. LRT has lifted. Jude is playing brilliantly. Magic is. Hall is in there again. We will win (or I'll be eating my words in a little over half an hour!). Go Go Go.

                            I wonder how are they going to taste.

                              Right. Now that I think I've stopped shaking enough to actually type something....

                              Well played bloods. Well played.
