Rnd 4 Match Day Thread Adelaide Crows V Sydney Swans. 19.10pm (ACST) Adelaide Oval.

That should have been a goal to Harry....it wasn't conclusive that it hit the post and the umpire call should have stood, because that's what usually happens.

It should have been a mark to Rampe in the forward 50 because that's what usually happens and if it had been a black a white jumper, instead of a red and white jumper, that's what would have happened...

Seems to be a different measurement of 15m depending on which end they are at!

[QUOTE=liz;693322]Nothing wrong with the umpiring. If you think the Crows frees were soft, Cunningham's was a little hard on the Crows.

Liz the Adelaide player made no attempt to get rid of the ball. Didn't even "pretend" to bunch the ball. Clear holding the ball.

We need the posts to be moved a mm...2 posters this quarter.

agree Mel the umps are picking up our under 15 meters and not theirs however we are not manning up - I'm hoping the crows will be exhausted in the second half. Sadly Ted looks quite slow.
And Dermot Breteton is a total dick!!!

We only need to win by a point!!

Macca looking off the pace early. We are working hard but have been wasteful and blown some chances, as have they. We have to keep up the intensity but it's going to be hard against a savage crowd and the men in green hearing them scream for a free every contest! Hopefully we can pull through.

We were pretty lucky to get through that quarter only 2 points behind. Adelaide were thankfully really wasteful though!
For the first time this season, our mids really need to lift. We'd be getting slaughtered if it weren't for Grundy and Rampe mopping up down back

And Derm is somehow more bias than Ricciuto....

Is Towers AFL quality? Dead set, he's hard bloke to get a read on. Certainly sometimes doesn't seem to want to do the hard thing and makes basic awful mistakes. Guess it's easy to forget many of these fellas are just kids.

Towers is not a kid he is 25.

He shows a lot of promise but really, if he can't cement a spot this year he is gone.

I honestly hope he does.

McVeigh has been basically anonymous. We've been sloppier than previous weeks but the pressure is bloody intense out there so that's to be expected. Need to show a bit more composure and hit up leading forwards inside our forward 50 rather than the bombing to a pack that's been happening so far.

One of those games that will be a bit of a classic if we win. Hopefully, Kennedy, Parker and Jack will reassert themselves in the clearances. There's still some really sharp work being done, though. And won't the combination of Heeney and Franklin give us all a lot of fun in the years to come.

while the afl has got more exciting this year the umpiring has been horrendous, turning more and more into umpball

Yes, Dermot likes that umpiring. Grrrr!

[bloodsbigot]

Well Papley hasn't done anything at all. Very disappointed.

Dermott is soooooo anti-swans. Why is he so highly regarded in media circles?

[goswannies]

He's a first year promoted rookie whose first 3 games were pretty solid. I'm willing to cut him a little slack, myself

High pressure footy with lots of mistakes. As per quarter time we need better composure going forward if we are going to win
