Genuinely don't know how to process that win. Confused, angry, happy and slightly proud.
We were cruising...then in the space of a quarter and a bit we managed to completely cook it...yet somehow in all the spirit of Dokeriness then turned it back around again with about 10 mins of half decent footy. It's hard to say whether that's a net positive or negative but for now take a valuable 4 points and get the hell out of Adelaide. We are still seriously flawed in a lot of ways but I'm glad to see there is some belief amongst the group. We are capable of playing some lovely footy but just as likely to sit back and let the opposition do as they please for 30 mins. Still a lot to work on.
One thing is for certain though, that was utterly incompetent umpiring. I usually avoid sticking the boots in to them because it's a tough gig but if you aren't able to maintain objectivity in the face of a hostile home crowd, you shouldn't be officiating at this level of the competition. There's no way in hell there were 16 extra instances where Adelaide earnt/deserved a free kick over Fremantle, and it absolutely contributed to the 3rd quarter momentum shift.

Haha I can’t believe how many posters thought I was serious saying how crap we were. I always thought we would win in the end.

EAD umps and commentators. They did all they could to get Adelaide over the line but we somehow jagged it.
I can't be arsed properly summing it up at the moment but shoutout to Chappy. Was dogshit most of the game but he won us the game at the end.
Walters should never play again and Walker needs to be in the side to play on small forwards.
Hopefully Tabs, Darcy, and Fyfe are back next week.

Going to pretend I only watched Freddy's goal and Chappy's tap-back.
Fantastic game!

Depends, what’s the time?
What a return for Chapman.
The free kick differential was disgusting. Absolutely crucified in the 3rd quarter.

Honestly i cant remember a better finish
Chapman dedicated that to all the defenders out there who watch every week as the forwards win the games and glory
In a way we didnt deserve to win,
In a way we didnt deserve to lose.
But ultimately the quality of away wins doesn't matter, you just have to do it, and we did.
I'm going to wait to see us at home before i write us off

I’m going positive first, in hindsight 3 winning qtrs & A LOT of character to fight on & win that game away from home when we would have capitulated in previous years.
Im not going bag specific players as I haven’t watched the whole game, but we lost our shape around the contest in the third & lost the dare to run.
I wrote this before the game
“Just come to play & we win this easily.
& FFS kick straight to make it easy on you & us.”
SORT OUT THE GOALKICKING
To come out after half time & not expect the opposition to lift on a poor first half was unprofessional & must be learnt from. But **** me , how did we win that?

Oh man! That was an insanely tense end lol. Chappy got served all game by an 18 yr old but he who laughs last, laughs best! 
As has been communicated throughout, we've still got lots to work on. All of you peeps saying we don't deserve need to realise we had the most points on the board by the time the siren goes. Hellooooo.
A great win in the end. Hopefully a catalyst moment.
