It wasn't pretty for a lot of the game but 25+ possessions for a lot of our young guys - Rowbottom, Warner, McInerney, Stephens, Blakey.
He still did some horrible things but Stephens growing in confidence and other players more prepared to give him the ball.
The Flying Lizard was pretty huge at key moments today. Flying Fox another solid game
I do believe James cracked the 25 today too, (I see a few others best me to it)
Crows made it hard for us and we ground out a 6 goal win.
Stephens tracking nicely , like the fact he doesn’t go to ground . Looked lost in the two’s . Some players are just better suited to a higher intensity environment.

1.1% gain today.....better than nothing I suppose.
I presume TB will be getting quotes for a statue of Sir James in his pantheon of heroes?
Credit to Adelaide for their relentless pressure and work rate. I always say that if you bring the pressure, you're always in the game, because you force the opposition to match it.
Healy had big raps for RB after the game, but didn't even mention his possession numbers. Talked about his work rate.
Great games from Blakey, Fox, Paps and Hayward. Stephens had his best game as a Swan. Another solid performance from Clarke.
How good was Dyl !
12 contested possessions and 6 tackles , and some didnt think he was tough enough !
