      Ham has had some sharp touches this quarter.

          Yes Molloy ! Boy did we need that. It was getting ugly. They are just too experienced.

              Absolute hogwash those last two minutes.

              Some nice home town umpiring and some lucky bounces got Adelaide out of trouble then. First a player clearly dragged it in and should of got pinged, then other player dropped it utterly cold but somehow a Crows free kick. What on earth?

              Should be less than 2 goals down not 4.

                That 50 was BS, she tackled her with the ball.....then you just knew they were going to score with 25 seconds left. Bugger!

                  That was HTB. She just dropped it. I don't blame Beruldsen thinking it was her free.

                    Like to see it again, but on first impressions, the only free there seemed to be holding the ball.

                      That last goal an absolute killer.

                      The team is not shirking the challenge in any sense or form of it - hope they can keep fighting hard for the four quarters. That last two minutes was AFL esque incompetence from the officials however. You can't ignore the initial offence just because you want to punish the subsequent one (which is both cases was pretty questionable anyway).

                        There are a few things I don't understand about that last 30 seconds. Firstly, I'm not sure why it wasn't a free to Beruldsen, rather than against here. The Adelaide player seemed to be clearly in possession when she was tackled.

                        But then I don't get why Beruldsen didn't realise it wasn't her free. Or none of her team mates realised and stopped her kicking it.

                        To then concede a goal on the siren was a real bummer. We're clearly being outclassed in most aspects of the game, but were just hanging in there on the scoreboard. Or maybe not quite hanging in there, but just about within striking distance if we could find something different in the second half.

                        The Swans are trying to apply the pressure they did last week, but the Crows are just so much better than the Suns at dodging, evading tackles, running in support etc etc.

                          I am happy to see that someone can say the tackle held on too long. But that was subsequent to an Adelaide player getting pinged for one of the most blatant holding the balls you'll ever see. Got tackled and simply dropped it. The second incident totally irrelevant if the campaigners were doing their job and umpiring the game properly.

                          The about a minute before was similar. Adelaide player clearly dragged it in and should have been pinged for HTB well before the tackle got anywhere near the dangerous stage.

                            Shocking decision against us and 2 goal swing just when we were hitting our straps. Should be 11 instead of 23. Mind you, we would've been miles behind if they'd kicked straight.

                              The hometown umpiring is getting ridiculous....I don't think that tackle was dangerous at all.

                                And the nonsense umpiring continues. Another call completely ignoring the fact the player should have been pinged for incorrect disposal (not disputing the tackle arguably went on too long). Clear only one side matters in the eyes of the maggots.
