Wow that makes it even more pathetic.
Unfortunately looked liked an ACL. Hyperextension is a common way to do ones ACL - wish it wasn't the case.
Why do we let players like Himmelberg rot in the SANFL when our forward line is so clearly crying out for a big body who will attack the ball? I can't fathom how the coaches can condone both our KPFs playing from behind so consistently, or are they unaware? It's clear our midfield has lost confidence in our forwards and won't kick to their advantage because they will always be slutting it out the back waiting for a 70 metre bomb. Cue the opposition taking an easy intercept mark and running over the top of our midfield, and you've got yourself a GF 2017 replay.
If so, does that make it the fourth one at Adelaide Oval this year? Something doesn't seem right.

Another disappointing night at the Oval - one of the rare highlights for me was getting to see my daughter run around at half time. I don't suppose anyone recorded (and hasn't yet deleted in disgust) tonight's game from Channel 7. She was apparently shown on screen a couple of times during the Auskick games; but unfortunately we recorded it on Foxtel.

From where I was standing it looked more like a serious hyperextension, but more of a PCL than an ACL. I hope I'm right anyway.
I think it is a little from column A and a little from column B.
There are known issues with the list but there is still plenty of quality on it if they all want to deliver at the one time.
This was exemplified when you got to within 3-points of the Cats, at that point, the Crows players were up and about and looked like they had some serious belief.
What I don't know or understand is why the crows players seemed to stop after that ?? Granted the Cats may have applied some extra pressure seeing as the game was tight but they still made some basic errors (eg. both Henderson & Menegola kicked out on the full under no pressure) during that period.

The Crows have announced it's a suspected ACL so he's obviously failed the structural test.

Tex or JJ has to go. We can’t have two tall forwards who refuse to lead up at the ball can't or won't chase, can’t take a contested mark and have two or three brain explosions a game. Eddie is cooked and Lynch has lost 5-10m on his kick.
Drop ROB and make Jenkins ruck full time. Bring in Fog and someone else can pinch hit in ruck.
Unfortunately, I think Eddie will retire before his contract is up, which may be a positive in comparison to having players like JJ, Gibbs and others on longer contracts continuing while down in form.

Did you see him in the warmup with Keath. He was concentrating so hard when kicking it looked like his head was about to explode.

Watts didn’t do an ACL.
It gives me hope* that we can play so bad and still not get blown away.
* had we not accumulated so many injuries.
