Deliberate call was correct. If you have time and space to dispose of the footy, you must

This match is lit.

Great work by Randall is rewarded with a goal

Bresnehan had a brain fart. Too focused on running into defence instead of manning the mark to prevent Randall playing on.

Bella Eddey looking like one of the few who rocked up to Arden Street during the week. The rest spent time strolling down media street.

Vikki Wall (the most powerful female athlete on planet earth--I think Champion Data measure her stats in horsepower!) is one proper pre-season away from joining Ebony Antonio and Brea Moody on my personal faves list. Gotta finish off the hard work.

Refer to almost exactly 8 and 4 minutes left in Q3 with the pressure-free midfield turnover kicks by Charlton and possibly Levy. That's when you know it's going to be just about impossible for the Crows to win.

Though I do have to point out, once again, Chelsea Randall despite a great game tonight: a player of her experience still trying for set shot goals from 45m+ out... Pass. the. ball.

Who comes here looking forward to a North Melbourne vs Fremantle GF?

Good luck against the crows in Adelaide next week

Unfortunately, Adelaide haven't kicked straight for a long time. Our last six matches have seen us score 34.49. And if you exclude the 14.8 performance against GWS (who didn't put up much of a fight), it's 20.41.

I'd dearly love for them to get their goalkicking right when it really counts, but it would require a massive turnaround in form.

Kicked way straighter than us and still lost, so I don't think that's it

Actually think it will be the winner of the other qf that wins the flag

You're that bullish about Brisbane?

I think Brisbane have the right make up to counter the roos, yes.

I think if the hawks overcome Brisbane, that our gameplan can cause headaches for the roos

Adelaide has had two issues. One - they have tended to miss genuine shots on goal. Not an issue tonight, at least! Two - they struggle to turn I50s into genuine shots on goal. That was on full display tonight.

I'm sure you're right but our backline does this to everyone, we're normally really hard to score against even when the opposition gets a lot of I50s

No doubt. North weathered the storm well, as was expected.

But the Crows also have a bad habit of just blindly kicking when they go inside 50. And the only players in our forward line who know how to lead are Gould, and Randall (when she's there) so we usually just end up kicking to a contest. Which turns out to be an ineffective strategy against any half-decent side who know to drop an extra number or two back.

For all that, I think the Crows played pretty well tonight. Just not as good as North.

crows still the best team we’ve played this year
