And welcome back to Foody's Home Ground right here on 7 This Should Be a Beauty.
It's the first qualifying final of the 97 final series and it's coming to you from
a windswept football park.
It's the Adelaide Crows up against the West Coast Eagles.
The Crows will be looking to do exactly what they did some nine weeks ago in round 14 on
a fine and cool day.
They absolutely belted the West Coast, in fact kept them almost goalless in the first
half.
Tony Modd rebooted four on that day.
The West Coast could manage only four as a team for the day.
The 1997 AFL Premiership season proudly brought to you by Victoria Bitter for a hard earned
first.
Telstra making life easier.

Considerable rain in Adelaide yesterday but a strong wind blowing across the ground from
left to right today and some showers have been forecast.
It's cool and overcast and it's going to be tough for the players.
Joining us behind the microphone are Kevin Bartlett and Dennis Kometti.
Yes thanks Sandy.
Well as you can see it's pretty windy down here on the boundary and I think the start
will be very important this afternoon.
If we think back to round 14 the Crows booted the first nine goals of the match.
The West Coast Eagles got their first about a minute before half time and the side that
comes out of the blocks today KB I think has a big advantage in these conditions.
No doubt about that although I must say I was very disappointed with the Crows last
week particularly after half time when Essendon came out they exerted a bit of physical pressure.
I really didn't like the way the Crows responded that particular time.
Modra's not in good form, Robben's down in form and there's a doubt that Rissuto today
may not play as well.
What about the respective full forwards I suppose from the Eagles point of view going
in looking to reinforce the down form of players like Robben at centre half forward and in
particular Modra lacking in confidence the pair of them.
Well Neil Kelly did tell us earlier today that Modra did train very well last night
so that's a good plus for them but you look at that back line McIntosh, Jakovic, Matira
McKenna pretty hard to beat.
Well speaking of Neil Kelly here he is.
Thank you Dennis without doubt today's going to be an offensive game with the wind conditions
like they are.
I saw the Crows train on Friday night they were particularly sharp.
I know Malcolm Blyth is looking for a more intensive program particularly at ground level
where a lot of the ball will be.
The key players without doubt it will be Wren and McLeod who have to pick up Hedy because
Hedy has always hurt us over here I don't know why but he does.
He's been terrific Kels and the Eagles have been waiting nine weeks for this revenge.
Well I've been waiting nine weeks to get back at you as well.
Nine weeks since round 14 when you gave us that 73 point drubbing and I tell you what
revenge is big in their mind.
I don't think Michael Gardner will play and there's a question mark over John Worsfold
and Ashley McIntosh.
So the Eagles going in with a couple of injury problems but I'd say you'd have to say that
today it could be the Eagles day Kels and it could be a physical opening mate so watch
out.
What we will see is some long goals going to the right of screen.
Yes we've talked about that breeze probably worth four or five as I welcome the 1983 Brownlow
Medallist former champion of the game in Ross Glendening who like us gets an extra spring
in the step come finals time Roscoe.
It's fantastic the show is a little bit daggy here weather wise Andy but that breeze is very
strong as Kels said so maybe three or four goals to that right of screen.
What about the match ups of this game as the atmosphere builds as cast and fans still look
a little pouring in but I think of Glenn Jakovic and many will say including his coach he's
rarely beaten.
What about Robyn?
Yes they believe that the only time he's been beaten comprehensively is Andy's against
the Kerry once but I've seen him twice against Robyn and Robyn actually has given him a pretty
hard time so he's very keen to square the ledger there even though Robyn's not in good
form Jakovic has been steady.
I think it's a very keen match up along with Rod Jamieson where he plays Andy and Jamieson
last week six goals out of a forward pocket but if they can't get Nigel Smart or maybe
a cave in to match up on Gerrick then I think Jamieson may be needed down back.
Malcolm Blight had a six year stint at Geelong and that flag eluded him four times he was
run up now he starts another finals campaign but this time with his old home side the Adelaide
Crows a short time ago Neil Curley caught up with him.
Well Mal tough conditions.
Yeah the last two or three times we've played here it's been like that windy and I think
the rain might come later again too.
Toss will be handy.
Yeah one of my pits in footy yeah I think a toss is important you know just get any
advantage you can and I always think the toss is important.
It's a thinking game it'll be a smart play game today with this breeze like it is there'll
be a lot of footy on the ground and you don't want too many players up.
No that's very true isn't it and yeah I think you're quite right it really is windy conditions
wet conditions the smarter players generally play better don't they and that's what we'll
be hoping for.
Your defence has been pretty sound over the last couple of weeks and with these conditions
today there's going to be a lot of footy down one end your defence will have to stand up.
Yeah well they've been great all year save the Eagles for that matter so you know I think
they're the best two defensive on the scoreboard sides in the competition so you know you wouldn't
expect a lot of goals today but if you can get a few in front I think you're a big chance
to win it.
Rucks are going to be vital here today Wren I think is coming back in a good form Pittman's
been sound do you see that as an advantage for the Crows?
I think it is we've had some dominance in that area in the last few weeks and probably
just haven't quite directed it like we'd like so we've done a bit of work on that during
the week and if we can get that hand of ball you know I always think you should put it
somewhere where we are so hopefully the boys can do that.
You need the breaks in finals good luck.
Thanks Neil.
Yes Curls knows all about breaks in finals we're going to take a break now from football
park more shortly.

you always and here come the Adelaide crows to a huge roar out onto their home turf under
the coach of Malcolm Blight I think I credit him with four times a runner up when he was
with Geelong of course it was three they had another one with Gary Ayres but they are now
concerned about today that's what it's all about as another finals campaign gets underway
let's have a look at the crows lineup Ross yes we see them lined up there I think Robyn
so important we've spoken about on a number of occasions I think the other player that
is critical as jam and whether he starts in the center or a half forward flank started
very well last week keep a couple of early goals but once Chris Danner got hold of him
after halftime he went right out of the game so they can't afford to have him in that situation
today and I think that back half particularly smart and heart if smart takes Gary and heart
picks up so much a critical in that area changes also late changes as far as the West Coast
Eagles are concerned we'll have a look at that squad shortly there is Malcolm Blight
looks pretty relaxed Dennis he does I suppose there's not much he can do now in terms of
the preparation at least as we said talking with KB down on the boundary would love a
fast start I think they're essential in finals particularly for a side like the Adelaide
Crows who may come in just doubting themselves slightly West Coast Eagles of course veterans
of finals played 20 in the 90s 11 wins a draw and of course a couple of pennants as well
Rashido out of this side that hurts them very aggressive very good at digging the ball out
of the center square I remember that collision with Dean Kemp going back to last season Kemp
left the ground heavily concast we saw Cain Johnson there a youngster who's carved his
niche in defense and Peter Kavan that's a great story Peter Kavan around the league
at Fitzroy then with Sydney seriously injured up there of course set a halfback his spot
in this team plenty of inexperience in that Crows lineup but plenty of experience especially
finals experience Ross in this lineup yeah no question they are as experienced as any
side going around in finals and those senior players are in very good form although today
they'll miss Ashley McIntosh who can't take his place in the side and Michael Gardner
who suffering from that calf problem which is probably a fair thing given that if they
test him today Dennis too hard I mean it's a play they need later on if they win today
Gardner's absence up forward robs them of some flexibility to the 50 yes I mean that
relies now heavily on Gary continuing his good form across half forward and obviously
they need so much to be the focal point that they expect him to be 150 games with Peter
Sumich at standing record well done to only two players in the West Coast Eagles lineup
coming into their first final Michael Stone and Philip Matera and here come the West Coast
Eagles cool and determined as they said about yet another campaign that had a wonderful
record and Mickey Malthouse of course the two flags speak for themselves.
Anything to say any Peter Sumich hasn't been to this ground for four or five years.
He's only ever kicked six goals and football Park to the Sumich playing his 150th this
afternoon life membership of the club there was some speculation he wouldn't make the
side earlier in the week.
Good to see him here.
That's been a checkered career in the last three seasons but all time I think he ranks
11th with goals and finals.
That's a great record.
Yes and the Eagles have a great record in the 90s too in finals never finishing below
sixth.
Mickey Malthouse and one gets the feeling that if they can get past today they could
pose a real threat again this year but they've got the job ahead of them.
Yesterday's result didn't hurt them of course that was a good one for the Eagles two games
later this afternoon so much can unfold but first they've got to do their part of the
contract.
They've got to win this game.
No easy feat.
Interesting Saturday just going around Adelaide for the last couple of days so many people
expressing doubts about the crows here.
I can't believe that I mean this season has been a very good one if you think back to
last year this time last year they were sitting back watching on television eight wins for
the year and here they are they've achieved so much but just for the last couple of weeks
KB made the point they've gone off the board.
You saw that Keir?
Yes I saw the crows against the Bombers and they started magnificently well that day they
booted the first five goals but then of course after half time it's when it all fell apart.
Down on the boundary line and in finals mode is the King Curls.
Welcome Curls.
Yeah thank you Sandy well with me today we have Sid who is a legend of the crows fans
and Sid you've seen every game at Foody Park haven't you?
Yes sir.
I've seen every one and all over the state right around the Port Lincoln everywhere up
the Murray Bridge now.
What do you think of our chances?
Oh very good I'm proud of it.
I haven't slept all the week I've been waiting for this.
I even went around and saved up me tin money and bought a new coat for the day.
Well good luck hope you have a good day Sandy.
I like his gloves too.
I'm a true man, I'm a sure Australians and I'm with you.
We do support you, we do beg for you.
Excuse me.
But someone down the years upset me because they say we don't support him, we don't yell
at him.
Well I'm a good host.
This is my show and I'm going to talk on it.
Welcome to Foody's home ground.
Ah sensational but it's great to see supporters like that.
He has not missed a game.
That's called passion.
Is that what it's called?
That's not missed a game anywhere.
That's a full book of rides.
Big deal yeah Grigich.
Got a big job today.
This breeze blowing from left to right and straight down the ground coming off the lake.
And I just wonder how strong it is ground level.
Let's again go back to Curls.
Has sanity prevailed?
Yes it has.
How strong is that breeze Curls?
Well Sandy I've just been out at the centre.
It is blowing a gale.
I would say without question there would be 20 metres on the kick for a long kick going
to the right of the screen.
Goals at the other end of the ground are just going to be like diamonds.
Like a premium.
What do you reckon four or five goals with this breeze?
The advantage, whatever side gets it?
I think if you take your advantage, if you kick accurately I'd say five or six goals.
Five or six?
Yeah it's going to be a tough day for forwards because of the wind.
Scouting players will be the value players today and it's a defensive game and the West
Coast defence of course is very, very strong.
Boys a bit of news from the West Coast Rooms.
They are very fired up for a big start.
They want to neutralise this crowd.
You can hear the crowd pumping up now.
They want to neutralise them by getting on top early with a physical start so look out
for that.
And a bit of a stat for you.
John Walshfield and Guy McKenna have played more finals games, have more finals experience
than the entire Crows team Curls.
What are you trying to tell me?
I don't know I think you're running the man with the experience.
That way I think the Crows are ready for this.
Whatever physical stuff the Eagles throw at them.
I'm certain the Crows are going to absorb it.
It's going to be a great game mate.
Adrian what's the build up been like in Perth Adrian this week as a lead up to this final?
Actually Mickey Moldhouse is pretty good at manipulating the media and manipulating his
players in a lead up like this.
This is his eighth consecutive season of finals which is an incredible record.
In fact I've found out that only Norm Smith and I think Jock McHale have equaled that record
in the history of VFL AFL.
So Mick with plenty of experience and very low key and particularly in Adelaide as well
there's been lack of hype.
It's almost been eerie Curls hasn't it the fact that the boys, the town hasn't been pumping
for some reason.
Well it's been pretty quiet and I think the Diane situation led to that a fair bit.
There's been a lot of media exposure there and Malcolm Blight wanted a low key build up.
It has been a low key build up and I think the players benefited by that.
Mate he's not preparing the town for the inevitable is he?
Look you're going to be surprised at the Crows.
I saw them train on Friday night.
They were very very sharp and strong at the footy.
Oh Curls going to be physical.
Alright boys thank you very much Adrian Barrett and Neil Curley down there on the boundary line.
Sean Wren what a mighty job the big number 52 has as both sides come across now with the umpires.
There will be a minute's silence in just a moment in honour of Princess Lady Di.
Crowd still pouring in.
I think by the time we have the opening bounce it will be a full house.
But here's the master of ceremonies of the AFL Craig Willis.
Ladies and gentlemen the Australian Football League and Coca Cola welcome you to the first qualifying final here at Football Park.
In memory of Diana Princess of Wales would you now please stand and observe one minute's silence.
Which will be followed by the playing of the National Anthem.
The National Anthem
So the Crows bunch up to the left.
The West Coast Eagles to the right.
Toss is going to be all important heading out to the middle now as Mark Bickley hasn't missed a game this year.
Peter Simic celebrating his milestone of 150 games.
Let's go down to Curls for the toss.
Here it is now.
Up she goes. Heads. He's called Heads Peter.
And his Heads good luck to the West Coast and bad luck to the Crows.
So the 44 opting to go with the breeze only naturally and a very strong breeze too for those of you who may have just tuned in to 7.
A strong breeze blowing down the ground from left to right.
I've got to say Sandy there's a bit of pocket in that breeze though.
I'll be surprised if anyone gets 5 or 6 on this breeze because once it gets on the other side of the ground it's going to be hard work to kick a score from out there.
This is the side the grandstand side is the side to work the ball but clearly they'll defend to the outer side.
And we could see a lot of throw ins I think on that outer side wing.
Not easy KB with a breeze that's a bit crossed the ground like this one.
Well we were standing over there for the early cross back to Roscoe and Sandy and it was very blustery over there.
And I was thinking as I was standing there with the wind virtually coming behind us how difficult it was going to be to kick a goal with the ball going right to left.
But it is going to be very hard from the outer side of the ground.
You certainly will have to play the grandstand side if you hope to kick a big score down towards the southern end.
Well if it's going to be a physical opening West Coast have got John Worsfold on the bench so it might please some of the crows players.
Matty Connell also playing against his old side if you're pretty toey.
You see Worsfold...
... cousins and also Andrew Donnelly.
Umpires are Dennis Rich, Rowan Soares and Brett Allen. Three Victorians having charge of this game.
This first qualifying final.
The siren sounds a huge roar and we're set for the opening bounce.
This is what it's all about. Grigich couldn't take it. Jam and they'll be looking for a big game from him.
Tries to go through. Kemp had him. Kane Johnson flicks it wide to Costa.
The crows wanting a fast start. Costa pushes down towards the half forward line.
The Eagles defend through Evans. Kicks it high back towards centre wing.
No mark taken. Clearing will be Andrew McLeod.
Kicks up towards right half forward. Pitman is lurking there. He gets the hand pass away.
A positive start by Adelaide. In towards Rintoul at the back. One, two, bounce!
Chad Rintoul in his first final is going to have a shot 25 metres out and almost directly in front.
He has well worked out of that congestion too and the kick by Troy Bond coming in spot on.
Just gave Rintoul a chance there. Waderman had the front position.
You see there Nick Stone jostling with Modra.
That's a bit of a nudge but umpire said that was OK.
Kicking into the breeze from 25 metres. Rintoul's got the crows away to a flying start.
Well you might suggest with this breeze that the fellas are saying it's four or five.
I'm probably a bit with Dennis there. I don't think it's that good.
The pitch went against it against the flow of the game. Good stuff by the crows.
Pitman getting back and there's Troy Bond's centre in kick. Just didn't look to the goals.
Looked to the front of the square.
Basic stuff. Waderman just losing his balance there too.
Well done by Chad Rintoul. Every time there's an express Australian to do well.
Adelaide by six points. Great start for them.
Chance in the middle. Ball floats a little. Brigadier's up knocked away by Pitman.
Sliding in there is Tony Evans. Beneath him Mark Pickley.
And the ball up alongside to centre circle.
Kavan's got Gerrigez in half back and Rod Jamison. Six goals last week out of a pockets playing full back on Peter Simic.
Plenty of experience amongst the umpires.
16th final for Rich. Wide of the pack. A chance there for Sampson.
Left it. Picked up by Vardy. Slung. Up goes Matera. Knocks it down.
Nicely played by Sampson. Was he taken high?
Dragged down by Matera. And the call is holding the ball.
So young Sampson has the job playing on Peter Matera. So that's a big ask today.
Matera's been magnificent this year.
Certainly one of the favourites for the Brownlow middle.
So Matera from the true centre half back position. Boots the ball along down towards centre half forward.
Over the back of the pack. Chance for running onto the ball. His brother Philip. Caught.
Taking the ground. They want holding the ball.
And the ball will be tossed back.
There's umpire Rowan Sawyer there. An experienced umpire. Not playing the free kick there.
Matera taking on McLeod there.
26 goals for the year. Philip Matera. He's been a very important player.
And in these windy conditions today.
Certainly Mick Moldous is looking for some crummers to kick a few goals.
McLeod off the ground. Back towards the half back flank.
And we see the ball out on the full.
So it'll be taken here by Chad Morrison.
So the youngster from Victoria has just signed on with the West Coast Eagles.
And he kicks the ball inside 50. It's a poor kick.
And trickles over line for a boundary throwing.
This crowd is very quiet isn't it? Very quiet. Start of the final.
Left forward pocket. The Eagles in attack.
Jamison and Sumich.
Smart and Simmons.
Pittman tries to go over the back. And he does to Hart.
Who tumbles a punt kick back towards Bond.
But he's outmaneuvered and beaten by McKenna.
He brings it in towards half forward. Over the head of Matera.
They'll take a moment or two to get used to the breeze.
Fraser Gehrig is dangerous just outside 50.
He gives it to Simmons from 52 metres.
Pumps it along. It will float over the top.
And Pittman gets a hand to it right on the last line of defence.
First score for the West Coast.
Now to pick up on screen but a grey old day in Adelaide.
A lot of rain yesterday and overnight.
Rod Jamison heads to the outer side.
Gets good distance.
Kavan sockers off the ground. They get the chance to go again.
He does and gives it across to his skipper.
Who looks up towards the half forward line.
Modric came charging out but back back is Chad Morrison again.
He defends well. Comes towards Matera on the half back flank.
Peter Matera.
There's only Peter Matera can.
To half back and he finds Turnbull.
Hard to practice that one.
Turnbull smothered brilliantly.
Vardy across the boot. Out of bounds.
Boundary throw in left half forward for the Crows.
And lead by five points.
Well done by Vardy.
Took a very heavy knock last week against the Bombers.
Seems to be okay.
Tossed in. Wren slaps it down.
Schofield so good last week.
Simmons across the ground.
They'll have to work it back from here.
Ricketts leads in the race.
Pittman though with the pace.
Pittman to the outer side.
Fumbles. Still he goes.
Robron he trapped it nicely and knocked it back in his direction.
Robron though can't control it.
And it's out of bounds. So a throw in.
Out of side wing.
That man's so important for them this afternoon.
Needs to fire up against Glenn Jakovic.
What a great duel this is going to be.
Jakovic against Robron.
We heard Ross Glenn Dining say before the game that Robron's got a good record against Glenn Jakovic.
So the Crows by five points.
Pittman wins out.
Kemp thought he had it lost it.
So Schofield around the corner.
It's been taken.
A good mark by Goodwin.
So from the half back flank.
Just one of their youngsters.
Drives the ball back towards the half forward line and playing in front of the ball.
Holding up. Good play by Kosta.
And you can see the ball definitely holding up in his strong breezes.
A terrific start by the Crows.
Lead by five points.
Kosta will kick the ball back towards fifty.
Once more you must play in front.
We see Jakovic there punch the ball away.
And taken over by Bond.
The one goal coming from Chadron Toole in the opening minute or so of the game.
The Pro fans going from the throw in.
Wren trying to do it from the back.
Johnson an underground hand pass.
Wren on all fours. Schofield is there.
Waits for it to come out.
Ventured his shot wide towards the boundary line.
Oh!
Brett Heddy out of the thick lead.
Brett Heddy.
Brian Supreme kicks up towards Barney.
His head's down.
He's going to get it.
Brett Heddy falling very heavily.
Just quickly eyes on the ball only.
Heddy still in the hands of the trainers.
But he appears to be okay.
That's good news for the Eagles.
As this kick again holding up Wren's in front.
Kurt taking it.
Ritual over the back.
So I'm not sure that Heddy is that good.
Sandy Landers flatten his back.
He seems to have a bit of a problem in his leg.
He's first taken out that left leg just trying to get that right.
Bickley comes in from the left and screams.
Just slides in.
Heddy's leg falls on his shoulder.
But also probably the leg of the moment.
Rob Wren marked the kick in.
Gives it across to Smart who boots inside the 50 stone.
A late inclusion.
In for McIntosh.
Knocks the ball out of bounds.
Watch the tactics on the boundary throw in.
Place to be is the right side.
This ball will drift.
Rob Wren and Jakovic.
Not experienced, Ruckman.
Rob Wren in position A.
Almost clean possession.
Should have taken it to Vardy lost it.
Simmons is in there.
Throw in on the boot by Morrison.
Johnson lays it off.
Mr. Target.
Samson and Banfield on a collision course.
So too Matira and Smart.
Working solidly.
Was jammed and put down by Grigich.
Will work to the outer side by the Eagles.
And again by Bickley inside the 50.
Rob Wren was that in the back I thought so.
Will get the free kick.
Rob Wren.
Just outside the 50.
No chance from here.
He goes for distance.
They'll contest about 20 meters out.
There goes the kick.
Falls in.
Wren came at it. Grigich was in front.
Down behind Modras.
Set up on second off the ground.
I thought by Morrison the defender.
Will come on to the side.
Redhead has got to come off.
Not good that left leg.
Giving some problems.
Ben Cousins will come on to replace him.
Closed by seven points.
Turnbull.
Drives the ball on.
Tremendous distance.
Right to the edge of the square.
High fly by McLeod.
Couldn't take it.
Pounced on by Banfield.
Good play by Matira.
Ben Cousins runs into the open goal.
And he bangs it through.
They try with Fr dobrze and
The multi-award winning new Magna.
It makes the competition look out of date.

They trail by a point.
Back in the middle with Big Elia.
Almost as good as a kick.
25 metres down the wall to the half-forward line,
but immediately taken back by McCloud up towards his half-forward zone.
May it allow to go on? I thought we might hear a whistle then, but no.
So it's pushed back towards the centre.
Kept Sockers off the ground, only as far as Hart.
Brings it out wide, up the wall to right half-forward.
Over the head of McKenna.
Rogren and Jakovic.
Jakovic caught.
All spills free over the line.
There'll be a throw-in on that other side.
To the boundary line, Adrian Barich.
Yes, thank you, Sandy.
Injury update on Brett Hetty.
He's gone up the race.
His left knee apparently feels loose, and they're going to assess it.
But there must be some doubt now over whether he'll be able to come back on,
which would be a huge blow for the Eagles.
Grigich in front.
Johnson again.
Sees it over the line.
What a body blow that would be for the West Coast Eagles.
Back in round 14, of course, he got three of their four goals that night.
Bad loss.
This ball will drift again.
In front, Grigich controlled it pretty well.
Feeds the hand pass wide at the back.
Schofield so good last week.
Down to a push from the back.
Sure as the play goes in.
The 15-hour socket off the deck.
Back comes Turnbull.
Sends play towards the outer side.
And across the line in front of Lewis.
He's into play from pushing the back, nothing doing.
And as we expected, the boundary umpires overworked this afternoon.
At least one of them so far.
Both will get their moment in the sun or in the gloom as the afternoon proceeds.
So the crows by two points.
Chance for Costa.
Bond.
Just cut him off too quickly.
The skipper outside of 50.
Kicks long.
Stone.
Should have taken the mark.
Kick off the ground.
And through by Waterman.
Bit of a nervous miss there by Nick Stone.
Big job on Modra.
Modra the player to kick the ball off the ground.
Very clever at that.
So Waterman, a designated kicker for the West Coast Eagles.
Kicking with a very strong breeze.
Neal Pealy thought maybe five or six goals.
So he kicked straight down the centre of the ground.
He's looking for Grigich, the thump-bump.
He's behind Pounce on once more by Smart.
Gets a short kick in.
He's got the loose play-up.
Rintoul, who's been very dangerous in this opening turn.
He's already kicked the goal.
1-3-9 Adelaide.
1-1-7 the Eagles.
And Chad Rintoul.
He's shooting from right on 50.
Kicking into the breeze.
So whether the ball will hold up, you can see there.
Must play in front.
Pippen's in front.
Great play.
That's the spot to be.
Amazing, Devin.
I mean, players have good experience with you kicking into a breeze like that.
The ball's always going to drop short by about five metres.
Picking with a hidey hat on that ball.
And the player's in front with a closed play-us.
West Coast must be in front of that situation.
There's almost that mentality when you're going to spoil,
you think you can come from behind, don't you?
The ball's always dropping away from you.
Yeah, sure.
Kick four goals for the season.
So David Pippen directly in front.
And here by the groans of the crowd that he's missed.
Four goals, seven.
David Pippen for the year.
The Crows having all the play at the moment going into the breeze.
McKenna brings it out this time.
Straight down the middle.
Pippen is there.
Couldn't quite get a hand to him.
Matira tries to get the hand pass away.
He does.
Now here's an opportunity for Simmons.
Looks down towards full forward.
Kicks from 55.
In towards goal.
And the West Coast Eagles have got another one.
The combination of Banfield and Simmons getting their second.
2-1 plays 1-5.
Yes, that kick out by McKenna.
Sensibly going long.
And all you need is a bit of a knock-on from the middle of the ground.
This is what they've got.
They just need the sweepers to come through, pick the loose ball up,
get someone running forward.
Pressure there by Jarman.
But Banfield overset that up easily.
And Simmons is a terrific finisher.
Pops it through a good goal.
So the West Coast Eagles have grabbed the lead,
but it's taken them close to 10 minutes.
That's time, valuable time on the breeze.
Grigich throws it on the boot.
It wanders out towards left half.
Thoroughbred bounce there for Cousins.
A little bit good one.
Chance behind for Lewis.
Lewis running away from goal.
Now he's 40 meters out.
Goes towards the pocket.
It was touched.
It bubbles down towards Matira.
Tries to shock her off the ground.
He's got some problems down there.
Close to the boundary line.
Peter comes in to assist his brother.
Walked across the line there by Johnson.
And it will be thrown in.
Eagles by two points.
First turn of the first qualifying final of football park.
Forced final to be played in Adelaide.
And this crowd is packed right in now.
Gloomy day.
Grigich and Pittman.
Pittman slaps it down.
Johnson hugs the boundary with a kick.
Gave it away.
Matira.
Now he's inside the 50 but no easy kick here.
Matira.
With Sumich hanging back in the square.
I suppose the trick here is to start it well right.
See what the breeze can muster.
Matira.
Standing on the 50.
Slipped as he kicked.
And I tell you what, he's kicked the goal.
Remarkable.
There's been a number of players losing their footing today.
So perhaps you should do that more often.
That's a fantastic kick given the situation.
Pretty sudden.
The lose stability there on the left foot.
And the ball just carried good.
If you had a low trajectory early it kept its distance.
In the end it sailed through easily.
Terrific kick.
Couldn't do that again.
The Eagles by 9 points, 3-1-19.
Adelaide 1-4-10.
So Gricky against Pittman.
Pittman winning the tap.
Rintoul thought he was held.
Good hip and shoulder by Jarman.
Loose ball.
Goes to Wartman.
Feeds it out to Evans.
It's been a great finals player.
Flicks it back towards Bamfield.
Wren.
Around the corner.
He was trying to set it up to Bond.
Chipping in his Evans.
He's got it across the half back line.
So some rebound football by the Eagles.
He pumps the ball back inside the square.
Looking for Fraser Gehrig.
Does a balancing act.
Now wins control.
Great tackle by Sampson.
Goes to the ground.
Matira.
Rockets the ball out wide.
Finds Lewis.
Not named in the side.
Goes short.
Kicks a poor one.
He was looking for Sumich.
Difficult under the conditions.
Pretty windy in that pocket.
McLeod.
He's had a great season across half back.
Ricochets off Philip Matira.
And they'll toss it back in.
Let's go down to Neil Curley on the boundary.
Two goals.
The Eagles have scored.
The Crows have been very poor in their defensive work.
Those long kicks coming out of full back.
No small running player covering the back.
And the Eagles have pooped twice there.
And scored two goals from those long kick-offs.
Nine points to margin.
Nine minutes remaining.
First quarter here at Football Park.
Gehrig trying to do the work from behind.
Bamfield is there also.
Taken out of his hands.
Pushed back towards Grigage.
55 metres out is Big Elia.
Runs into Johnson.
And now Nigel Smart down leg.
Crows are away.
Smart looking to draw the player.
Then pops the hand pass over the top to his captain who's been busy.
Bickley goes back to Smart.
It won't sit.
Fairly heavy turf.
He gets taken high.
Luckily for him, he'll get a free kick.
He is very fortunate.
Closing down but seems just a bit high.
Smart puts them inside.
50 heads towards Modra.
Could have almost given a nudge.
Players allowed to go on.
Vardy's hand passes.
Chocked off.
It spills free to Kemp.
Dean Kemp's got time to pick himself up.
Look back towards Simmons and find him on half back.
The Eagles out of trouble.
They've steadied in the past few minutes.
As Simmons' centering kick goes into Ward's half forward.
Young Ben Cousins are beaten, however.
And Goodwin, the left footer, takes the mark across half back.
Goodwin out of defence.
Kicks it up towards the wing.
Turnbull is there.
To slap it down.
Jarman robbed of it.
Wren towards the boundary.
Simmons has been very good.
His fifth possession across the line this time.
Eagles by nine points.
Close bench.
Throw in right on the wing.
Haven't seen much of the ball on this side of the ground.
Wren had it then lost it.
Kemp dives on top of it.
Costa there as well.
Ball up.
Dean Kemp averaging 22 possessions a game this season.
Up from 21 last year, 20 and 95.
Nice progression.
Smart over the top.
Thumbs it down towards half forward.
Into the path of Costa was he held.
No free kick.
This is Smart.
Kicks inside the 50.
Hangs a long time in the air.
Completely fooled Morrison.
But not Modra on the ground.
He snaps it close.
I think it's good.
He's got it.
That's a fickle bounce isn't it?
They worked very hard on this wing too.
With the close to get that ball forward.
Smart pushes right up the ground.
Coming off half back.
The opponent's been Simmons who's been very effective.
But this time kicking that ball forward quickly.
Getting involved with the loop which is important.
You can't hang on for too long.
Morris had thought he had a chance.
That fickle bounce against Stone.
Modra in the right spot.
That's an important goal for them.
Eagles by three points.
Tony Modra coming into this game.
Just three goals in the past four games.
So maybe a big lift for his confidence.
Been a good start against this strong Breeze.
Bickley's had a great first term.
Seven possessions goes to the ground.
The skipper hands in these.
Back to Johnson.
They pile on top.
Lewis looking for a free.
He'll get a ball up.
Two four.
16 Adelaide.
The Eagles 3-1-19.
Once more.
Rickick against Wren.
We'll have to take on Pittman and Wren today.
Jarman hands in these.
Lewis to beat.
Banfield over the top.
They tied up on centre wind.
Bit of a CCO to see how Jarman runs this game out.
Because he's got the close attention of Banfield.
He had in the second half last week.
Chris Danner, who shut him right out of the game.
He's got to work pretty hard to get away from Banfield.
Empire Rowan Soares.
It's 409th game today.
Got Booth to ball very quickly.
Morrison's been good across half back.
Sends the Eagles into attack to the half ball.
A material with pace.
Couldn't take the diving mark.
McLeod will clean up.
Great vision.
Gets it out wide.
He's looking for Sampson.
Just needs a kind bounce.
Got plenty of time for think music.
Go short.
Looking for Bondi's got it.
And the 50.
He's got a two.
Let's do the roll.
Rowan Soares.
And McKenna coming in late.
Pretty harsh.
Wasn't much of that at all.
Other than the fact that he'd already taken the mark.
It wasn't as if it was a real heavy push in the back.
Oh, he got him high.
Fair enough.
I didn't see that initially.
I thought he was just going to nudge in the back.
But he's definitely contact high.
Unlike Guy McKenna.
That brings him well inside 50.
In fact, he's going to be kicking from 25 metres out.
45 degree angle.
And taken around now by Rowan Soares.
And into the breeze.
The Crows look for their third goal.
The drop punt's on its way.
Fans go up at the back now.
Right round the ground.
I like how it's hard to get that ball forward.
It's been a very satisfying first quarter.
I would suggest for the Crows,
very unlike Guy McKenna to do that.
Particularly so close to goal.
But at any time during the game.
They've worked the ball well in that outside.
That makes up for the loss of the bad kick by Pittman earlier on.
He should have kicked the goal.
It's not easy from that position.
Look at that breeze.
Read that beautifully, did Ron.
Troy Bond gets his first.
Started with Port Adelaide.
Time at Carleton.
Now happy at home as we go back into the middle.
The West Coast Eagles.
Time is running out for them with the breeze in this first quarter.
Hart does well.
His second attempt was good as well.
And he pushes over the line.
Boundary throw in on the wing.
Just under six minutes till quarter time.
Wren and Grigich.
Body to body Wren decisively down to Bickley.
Jarman getting cracking now.
Averages 29 possessions against the West Coast Eagles since becoming a crow.
Not a good kick though.
Gave it away.
Morrison.
Very good across half back so far.
Probing kick inside the attacking 50 for his team.
Grig went back.
Fingertips to it.
Couldn't hang on.
Hart half chance behind.
Frozen on the boot.
He beats Jamison across the line.
And will be throwing in.
Jamison coming off six goals last week.
Obviously on the forward line.
Against the Bombers.
Defends today.
He's the man for Sumich.
So a chance for the Eagles.
45 metres out from goal.
Pushing and shoving.
Wren used his body well.
It's a hurried kick.
Grigich.
Like that Fraser Gehrig.
Thought he had it.
Lost it.
And the cause of the ball up on the half forward line.
Well done by Cave.
And just get a boot there.
The fumble by Gehrig.
Gave him a chance.
But a big job for Pettie Cave.
They might have used smart there.
But Cave has done alright so far.
Jamon does the rock work.
Feeds the ball out.
Just shoveled it out to Bickley.
Johnson across the cross.
The crows away.
Kicks long down towards 50.
Wren Till has been good.
This time he's been beaten by Waterman.
Across half back.
It's the play on long.
Morrison has been a star in this first quarter.
Springboard of attack.
Fix the ball along.
Back towards centre half forward.
A bit of pushing and shoving.
Taken by Hart.
Thumbs the ball back.
And Wren Till once more playing in front.
Has got it.
Talk about smart players before the game.
Malcolm Blythe asked a question by Neil Kiel.
The smart players too.
Well Ben Hart has showed all his class so far.
Reading the game beautifully.
Just over four minutes remaining.
Robrins got a used pace with Jakovic at the back.
Jakovic gets it out to McKenna.
And the big defender will get the free kick.
Should be a great duel this one.
Jakovic and Robrins.
He goes wide to Waterman.
Matera calling him on.
Goes the shepherding.
Keep Pittman out of the play.
Kicks up over the middle.
Kavanagh plucks a beauty.
Peter Kavan in his first final.
Now Wren.
Short little chip towards Sampson on centre wing.
Just a fraction too high.
Matera goes off the ground.
His heart defending once again.
Jamison's got it.
This allows Hart a little bit of time.
Pops one over the top.
It's a little slippery.
And players are going to ground.
The door opens for Gehrig from a standing start.
He pumps it high in towards the left forward pocket.
And Hart sees it sail over on the full.
Hart with a free.
John Worsfold is limbering up.
Side down by three points.
Great performance by the Adelaide Crows.
Who knows?
Could be setting up victory right here.
Hart around the outer side.
Wren for nine.
The meat from the sandwich.
But a strong grab.
Another wonderful story.
Kicks it high.
A floater.
Just through the wing.
Evans.
No doubt about that.
He was taken high.
We'll get the free kick.
Tony Evans.
Big game player.
Told to play on now.
Kicks it down towards half forward.
Gehrig's the target.
Kavan is putting the master in that situation.
Juggles the mark.
There's Worsfold.
Anxious.
Clock is running down.
Just over two and a half minutes till quarter time.
Kavan comes away.
Comes across the ground.
Hart.
Setting up plenty from the back.
Inside the center square.
Mark quite bickley wants to go.
Confronted by Morris and feeds it off.
Johnson.
60 minutes from goal.
Goes looking for Modric.
Just wide of the market.
Bounces down towards the boundary line.
Pittman is in there with Turnbull.
And it spills across the line.
Tony Modric on screen.
A common medallist.
82 goals for the season.
Recognized by the cheer squad here today at football park.
22 plays 19.
In front Pittman versus Turnbull.
No one to take the crumb except Evans who comes away and tumbles it back inside the center square.
Smart hit the ball hard.
Simmons.
Already kicked a goal.
Under pressure.
Need support.
Costa.
And comes McKenna.
Desperate play.
Got his boot to the ball.
Renn feeds the ball out to Bickley.
11 possessions for the quarter.
Into the pocket.
Modric.
Got the bounce he was looking for in front of Stone.
Thumbs the ball back.
Good clever play.
Finds Robbrin.
Hand balls back inside the pocket.
Bond.
Just can't take control.
And they'll toss it back in.
I think Malcolm Blyter would be very happy with the effort of Modric so far.
It's his second effort that really have been missing the last four or five weeks.
Looking as if he really wants to footy today.
Lui's putting a spell.
Pittman.
Here's a chance for Costa.
That's his run through.
They've got all their goals.
Just with their tenacity.
Their diligence to work hard to get that ball forward.
Their tenacity.
Just keeping the ball in the air has been very good today.
Last week Kevin's already mentioned I was with him.
And I've disabled.
They were very, very poor in the second half particularly.
They just fell away weakly.
Today obviously wanting to attain.
No better game to do that.
And particularly working against his breeze.
What you have to do is work so very hard.
And they've got the reward for that so far.
Nine points the margin.
Four individuals have the goals for the Crows.
Wren is pumped.
Bekley's had a sensational first quarter leading by example.
He's held up in the centre.
Particularly standing when he's manning up on Kemp.
Yep.
He was just good a player anyway midfield going around.
Still in the middle.
Grigich and Wren Jossell.
Wren gets front spot.
Kemp can't get clear.
Costa, Modra, Bond and Rintoul have the goals for Adelaide.
Gerrick, Simmons and Matira for the West Coast.
The big men again.
Straight up in the air went the kick from Sampson.
Down it comes and a last gasp chance for the Eagles as they go towards half-point.
Chopped off however.
A strong mark taken by Andrew McCloud.
Across half-back.
Chips it out wide.
There's that man again.
Hart.
So often the escape valve coming out.
Bekley, 11 possessions in this opening turn.
Equalling his best quarter of the season.
11 possessions three times this year.
Kicks towards the outer side.
It bounces just inside the field of play and kicks across the line.
It'll be thrown in.
Adelaide 28.
West Coast Eagles 19.
The Eagles winning the toss, electing to go with a scoring end.
You can see the strength of that breeze in the background.
The papers clicking across the turf.
Against the breeze and against the odds.
It's been the Crows so far.
Gerrick thumps it back towards the boundary.

Kicking against a very strong breeze.
Suggested before the start of the game maybe five or six goals by Neil Kearley.
We see the crows.
4-4 28 leading by nine points.
West Coast 3-1 19.
Kemp has had his hands full on screen there with Mark Bickley.
He's had a superb quarter with 11 possessions.
Matthew Roburn.
Big duel with Glenn Jagovitch.
And there's the skipper Mark Bickley who would be very, very happy with that opening term
as the sun really now basks football oval.

6.30 on 7.
Seven individuals have the goal so far here in this qualifying final at Football Park.
Adelaide kicked into the breeze in the first quarter and have a nine-point advantage.
4-4 plays 3-1.
Neil Curley was listening to Malcolm Blythe at quarter time.
Adrian Barrett to Mickey Malthouse.
Boys, what have you got to report?
Well, Malcolm went straight to Peter Vardy.
He's the boy that got cleaned up by John Warkoff last week.
Bit concerned about his first quarter.
And also had a good chat to Matthew Robyn about where to move with the ball coming down this quarter.
Very pleased with that quarter, Malcolm Blythe.
And just quickly from the Eagles huddle, Brett Heading still in the change room.
He hasn't come out.
A big blow for the Eagles.
Matira.
Smothered.
A bounce fickle for Pittman.
Maybe a chance for Costa.
Kim Costa on the outer wing.
Crowes going with the breeze over the head of McKenna.
It floats towards the line.
Bond is there and McKenna gives him a helping hand.
Good first quarter by Bond.
He kicked a goal.
His twelfth for the season.
Riggich doing the work of the big men today.
No Gardner.
Here's Sampson.
In towards half forward.
Modra at the back is forced to spoil.
He does.
McKenna's hand pass comes free towards centre halfback.
Good work by Rintoul.
He almost spooned it out but it's okay.
The kick is high and wide and away to the right.
And on the floor.
Great work by Rintoul to keep the ball in the area.
Not a bad result though for the Crows because the ball has to come to this side of the ground.
He's not held without it.
Free kick.
The rediscofield is at left halfback.
This definitely the scoring side of the ground.
He chips it up towards the wing.
Paddle towards the boundary line by Kavan.
It goes across or it'll be tossed in.
Sunshine for the moment at Foody Park.
The Breeze has not abated.
It's whipping across this ground.
And favouring the in right of screen.
Wren very conscious of Turnbull.
Works in front.
Knocks it back towards the boundary.
Kemp escorts it across.
That certainly is a very important duel.
Dean Kemp against Mark Bickley.
Bickley a magnificent opening turn.
Eleven possessions.
And Kemp just three.
Turnbull.
Goes to Evans.
Wren those quick hands.
Back to Jarman.
Pumps the ball back towards the half forward line.
Running with the fly of the ball is Jakovic.
And we see an Eagles player and Warrman goes to ground.
But Jakovic versus Warrman.
A very important duel today.
Twenty eight plays nineteen.
In favour of the Crows.
So Jakovic.
Kicks into this Breeze.
We've seen before you must play in front.
Jarman a terrific grab.
Wants to play on quickly.
Bonds the target.
He's got McKenna to beat.
That's difficult.
Kane Johnson the crummer.
Ricochets back to Baumcourt.
Good tackle by McKenna.
Quick hands.
Cousins.
Tumbles the ball back towards centre half forward.
Looking for the bounce.
Ricochets off the heart's knee.
Comes back to Sampson.
Smack bang in the centre of football park.
And thumps the ball out wide.
Wren Toole being very dangerous across half forward.
Tries to tap it down towards Costa.
Can't take control.
Kemp then comes in.
He's happy to take it over the line.
On right half forward for the Crows.
Fine one hander.
By Darren Jarman.
Success of course in a grand final with Hawthorne.
Now looking for the ultimate.
With the Adelaide Crows.
That kick is going to be taken through the interchange.
And well done by Curls to maintain control of it.
On centre wing there's the Eagles bench with Chris Lewis.
Who had a run on the first term now having a spell.
Grigich.
Pittman.
Jones.
Pittman.
Jarman.
Belts it clear.
An opportunity for the Eagles through Jared Schofield.
Looks towards half forward.
Some heavy work there by Wursvold.
Welcome to the finals.
And there will be a bounce.
And trouble for the West Coast.
McKenna is limping from the ground.
Bad news indeed.
I'm sure Adrian Barrett will give us an update on that in a moment.
That brings Lewis back on.
A double change because Vardy has come off for the Adelaide Crows.
And coming on as Tyson Edwards.
Paul Dibbitt attack now for the West Coast Eagles.
Here's McLeod though.
Gathers it.
Hits for the boundary line.
Runs it across.
Well executed kick that one.
It's had a wonderful season.
So boundary throw in just inside the attacking 50.
The Gooch boys from WA.
Tim and Daniel running the boundary this afternoon.
The first.
Toss in about.
45 meters out then.
Pittman tries to direct it down.
Here's a chance for Evans with the right foot.
Getting back with a touch on the line.
Yes it was.
Right on the line.
Finally intervention there by Jamison getting back.
Less than a meter in it.
3-2-4-4.
But the Eagles looking quite accomplished.
Working up into this breeze so far.
Not afraid to bring it to the grandstand side.
Jamison to himself.
It's been a long.
And that ball sprouts wings.
And comes out to the wing.
Grigich.
Pittman is in there as well.
Kemp slaps it wide.
Taken by Banfield.
Chopped off by Caven.
Round the corner it comes.
Bickley across to Jarman.
Jarman runs it down towards half forward.
And kicks the ball along inside 50.
He was looking for Modric.
Caught behind.
Good play by Warnman.
Playing in front.
Thumbs the ball back.
Banfield stood his ground.
They wanted a free kick.
Here's Jarman setting up a great kick.
Rin Tu has got it.
What a dangerous play by Boonroska.
See I thought it was borderline with Banfield taking the mark.
He's now just asking the umpire.
I thought he was here.
That he'd control the ball before the spool came from behind by Bickley.
He had to make the contest.
Turns out the ball's built free.
And great set up by Jarman.
Terrific mark by Rin Tu to control the ball.
That's not easy.
Well he's taken four marks.
He's had five possessions.
He's kicked the goal directly in front.
He rams it home.
Well they've made the most of the 4A forward.
I was going to suggest at quarter time that the Eagles pushing into a breeze will work very, very hard.
It almost suits their game plan to close down the position players.
There's that contest again.
I thought the umpire could have paid that as a mark to Banfield.
Not to be.
Jarman again featuring has been such an important player.
All of a sudden the biggest margin we've had in this game so far.
14 points.
Pittman pumped down towards half-four.
Chopped off by Matera.
Gives it away to Schofield.
Another one to Worsfall.
Back to Matera.
Floating across half-back.
He dribbles it to Chris Lewis.
Back on the ground now.
Lewis finds Matera running through center wing.
Grigorych some heavy work behind the play.
Matera somewhat tentative bounce.
Then works it up into the forward line.
But defending is hard.
And defending well.
Off to Jamison to the outer side.
Got an absolute paddock standing in front.
Sapson is the man with the hectares.
He looks in towards the middle of the ground.
And Goodwin is there.
He's away now.
The left footer.
Long up towards half-four.
They come charging out.
A strong mark taken by Waterman on the chest.
Runs across half-back.
Come out to Johnny Worsfall.
The skipper.
Finals veteran.
Been a grand player for the Eagles.
So too Chris Lewis.
He's on half-back.
Scoring side of the ground.
Chris Lewis.
5-4-3-2.
14 and a half minutes remaining in the opening half.
Lewis taking plenty of time.
This kick affected by the breeze.
It wobbles through the wing.
Grigich, did he have the ball?
No, he was held without it.
Wren trying to fox him in there.
But did take hold.
Grigich.
Just forward of the wing.
Told to play on now.
Kicks inside the 50.
Gehrig's the target.
Going back with him is Kavan.
Kavan, great balance there as Gehrig fell over.
And across the line it goes.
We're in Barrage.
Then it's terrible news for West Coast fans.
Brett Heddy has just come back onto the ground.
And he is on crutches.
He has damaged his left knee.
So you won't be seeing him again today.
And Guy McKenna has done something to his calf.
And maybe in doubt for the game as well.
The big blow.
So Hart kicks the ball along a big bomb.
Back towards the edge of the centre square.
Kicked off the ground by the smiling assassin Worsfall.
Towards Cousins.
Hardly had a touch so far.
Good play by Riel Robren.
Drives the ball back towards the centre half.
Good touch.
And Edwards pounce on.
They've got the runners.
Here comes Smart.
Drives from outside.
50.
Smart runs it home.
Sensational play by the Crows.
There's been a good move by Malcolm Blomkamp.
Smart out of the centre half back here.
And on a flank.
Down through a wing.
Using his run.
On the outer side.
And just plenty of players to share the ball with.
And Smart had the option to pass to Modra.
A perfect kick.
Eagles hit by injuries.
And now they're being hit by the Crows.
Nigel Smart gets his tenth goal for the season.
His first for the day.
An infringement in the square.
And it's going the way of the West Coast Eagles.
Brigage to take it in the move.
Once Banfield.
And has him now.
Through Banfield.
From the centre.
Long and low.
Up towards half forward.
Simic couldn't take the mark.
Comes towards Dean Kemp.
Here's a chance for Kemp.
He draws the play.
Gives it to Chris Lewis.
And Lewis should answer for the West Coast Eagles.
He does.
And that's the thing about, that's what I like about.
That's the thing about, the thing about.
That's the thing about, that's what I like about.
That's the thing about.
With a powerful 2.4 litre petrol or 2.5 litre diesel engine.
The Mitsubishi Express has got plenty of ground.
And he's got the power to drive.

18 years ago when this film was first seen the legend of the Roo Boy began.
Today this man believes he knows what became of the boy raised by kangaroos.
Wayne Carey is the Roo Boy.
This sort of shows the motion of a kangaroo in jumping.
Which I think is not very good.
Wayne Carey moves.
Notice the marsupial influence in his ability to bounce at high speed.
Carey!
Wayne feels most at home in genuine kangaroo leather.
See that's how kangaroo recovers.
It was hit by a car or something.
Kangaroos move in mobs led by the strongest, most ferocious male.
When Wayne was made captain the jumper changed from this to this.
Scream for agility.
He might kick this.
Despite the support of one prominent kangaroo skeptics remain.
He's got a good leap on him but he's not a kangaroo.
I've heard Wayne go...
When he's missed a goal.
Is Wayne Carey Australia's most tenanted footballer or Australia's most tenanted kangaroo?
Ann Marie discovers the picture perfect Wild West on the Great Outdoors after Better Homes and Gardens Tuesday on 7.
Very handy goal into the breeze by Chris Lewis.
Closed the margin slightly.
Can they continue?
Over the head towards Wren.
He's on left half four.
Robren is there too.
So too is Jakovic.
Look at Bob.
Twisting, turning.
John Wren almost caught him unawares.
Back to Robren.
On behind.
The Barry watching him here today.
Arguably the greatest player this state has produced.
One of the best the game has produced.
Waterman short to Dean Kemp who's tucked in the back pocket.
41 plays 26.
Adelaide leads.
And that's...
Lucky save there by Waterman from our angles if it might have gone over the boundary line on the full Saturday.
They throw in.
What you call a line ball.
Grigich has got him.
And the 31 year old Gardner, Brett Allen, comes in to take charge.
Maddie Connell is standing by to come onto the ground.
Grigich this time gets a hand to it.
Schofield down to Kemp.
It's smothered.
Johnson maybe a chance to shovel it forward towards Wren Tool who's been exciting.
Runs into a brick wall.
And again it's taken over.
Play Samson to play to come off.
Maddie Connell will come on and go straight to Matera.
Ten minutes to half time.
Matera 14 possession so far.
Simmons slips it away.
This is Lewis running away.
A bit happening off the ball but Lewis oblivious to that.
Carries it up towards the wing.
Kicks it towards half forward.
Philip Matera, baited by the bouncing ball.
Fains a hand pass, slips away, pulls it back towards the middle.
Fraser Gehrig, wrong footed McLeod, goes back towards Philip Matera.
McLeod did pretty well in the circumstances.
And so did Kavan.
Still Matera holding the boys' the call.
Kavan will get the three.
Two strong tackles laid by a couple of pros there.
It's been a hallmark of their game this afternoon.
Taking the body.
What's this?
A roundhouse right.
Forced it behind from the 50.
Has it was?
He missed.
Pittman's in there.
This is Beckley.
Breaks away.
Support inside.
Loops it over the top.
Johnson.
Told to go by Beckley.
And the youngsters away.
He can score from here.
Goes in short instead.
Should have gone for goal.
Morrison gets back.
Takes the timely defensive mark.
Sumich in midfield wants the ball.
Hard arrives though.
Knocks it away.
Sumich butters up again.
Soc is it in the direction of Schofield.
Left it behind.
Charmin has dragged down.
He's catching tackles now.
The Eagles ball up inside the centre square.
Adelaide lead 41 plays 26.
Ball up inside the centre squares.
You can see the west coast there.
Certainly matching the pros for tackles.
Modra.
Def tap back to Charmin.
Good hands.
Finds Hart.
Goes short.
Looking for Bond who is super quick.
Back to Modra.
Couldn't take it.
All tied up on 50.
Lewis has been in the action this second term.
Back to Jakubic.
So the big guns.
Anting the call for the Eagles.
Back towards Simmons.
He's had a great season.
He's got Hart to beat.
Paddles the ball along in front.
Then bundled over the line.
And they'll throw it in.
See that strike by Hart.
Had two to beat.
Got to the converse in the first play.
He's got a fingertip on the ball to affect the spoil.
Then just saw that ball out of bounds.
Pittman and Grickick.
To Lockhorns.
Give it to Grickick.
To Banfield.
The playmaker.
Back towards the half forward line.
Gehrig.
Not having the best of days so far.
Cavan's doing a terrific job.
Costa.
Good support.
Back to Cavan.
That raking left boot.
Back towards Robram.
Didn't quite get the bounce in front.
Matera's been astar.
He's had 14 possessions.
Quick hands.
So they come forward through.
Connell kicks the ball back inside.
Fitted great mark by Turnbull.
Who wants to take on Wren.
He's had two bounces.
Keen to get some distance.
Kicks back towards the half forward line.
It's a great kick.
Knitting a bounce.
Whereas Evans got a shocker.
Coming through strongly.
It was Chad Morrison.
Couldn't take it.
Picked up by Schofield.
Runs into the open goal.
He hits the post.
Taney Evans really deserved that goal.
It's a stiff bounce.
I don't believe it.
Choke it.
Made by West Coast.
Ben Cousins coming off.
Andrew Donnelly off for his first run.
He wouldn't have kicked it by G.
He did a grand job.
As Donnelly, as you say, Ross comes onto the ground.
Bickley takes yet another one.
He's having a sensational day here at Football Park.
Hart goes to Wren.
This time he's in front of Turnbull.
Wren in towards the lead this time of Madra.
A face like grip on the wall.
He thought about Bond down in the pocket.
Didn't turn around quickly enough though.
Sandy was still no problem to distance here.
He's got to push that ball left.
Madra booted one in the first term.
That was his 82nd for the season.
Kicking from 48 metres.
And is away to the left.
Pushed it to start with.
Could never come back.
Waterman again to bring it back into play.
15 points to the margin.
A crucial six and a half minutes now.
Waterman's given the whistle.
Get on with the job.
He goes to the outer side.
Turnbull waits behind.
Grigage was in front.
It's going to be Nigel Smart.
Will take it on left half ball.
Ignores Robren.
And chips towards Hart.
He's just inside 50.
In front of the scoreboard here at Football Park.
He's got to start at the other side.
Well he gets underneath it.
Land at the top of the square.
The big flyer that couldn't complete the mark.
And a couple of West Coast Eagles.
And then Lewis and Grigage lock it up.
Tony did the hard work there.
Big leap.
Slipping through.
So bounce about 20 metres out.
Directly in front of the crows goal.
Just under six minutes to half time.
And he's got to get it in.
He feels off from half back, comes out towards the boundary, will it pitch inside?
No, it carries the line.
And the pros will send it back in.
This is Peter Kavan.
Kavan chips towards the 50.
Bickley is marked about 75 metres from goal.
Four-wheel drive type of play.
Looks over tough terrain.
He's enjoyed this afternoon.
Kicks towards the middle.
Missed by Worsfold.
Down behind Rigich in the roll of a rover.
Throws it on the bird.
It floats back towards the centre square.
Coming away with it though.
Banfield.
Reward there for keeping your eye on the footy.
And Banfield can punish the pros.
Full chested inside the 50.
Has he got the finish?
No.
Swings a long way on the breeze.
Left to right.
Left behind.
Great work though by the midfielder.
Deserved a goal, didn't it?
Eight possessions for Banfield.
So the Eagles within 14 points.
It seems, Roscoe, that the Crows have had all the play.
But the Eagles are just still within striking distance.
Yeah, this sort of situation suits them perfectly, Kavan.
Just to lock the game down a bit.
Jamison.
He was a star last week with six goals.
He's lined up at full back on Simic.
So he just gets a big torque down towards Kavan.
Lewis was there as well.
It's a loose ball.
Tyson Edwards has pounced on it.
Gives it across the jam and a bit of magic from outside.
50.
He's missed.
Had more time too, didn't he, Kev?
He could have gone further inside.
Got to perhaps even 35 out.
Again, we see that long kick.
Players not realise he's always going to carry over the back.
No crumbles or players running onto it.
And the five minutes left in the second turn.
Turnbull.
To Worsfold.
Wants to set it up.
Finds Morrison.
Being one of the Eagles' best from half back.
Kicks back towards the centre wing.
A ball will hold up in the breeze.
He's reading it beautifully.
Wants to play on quickly.
Some rebound.
Gets it across the heart.
He'll set it up.
And Robyn's got it.
Has long arms stretching up.
He's got it.
Just forward of centre KB.
So he'll look down towards Modra territory.
And he goes with a long bomb.
In fact, over the top of Waterman and Modra.
And through for one behind.
Six-eight.
So they've added two goals, four.
With the breeze.
Adelaide Crows.
Worsfold.
Like the Eagles this quarter defending.
Wide to Simmons on the outer side.
Keeps it in play.
Spears it up towards the right half forward.
Donnelly.
Looks further afield.
Dean Kemp has drifted down.
A chance here now for the West Coast Eagles.
With under four minutes remaining.
Kemp.
To put them inside.
But it's a wild kick.
His target was Fraser Gehrig.
It's out on the floor.
The lead there from Gehrig.
Not clever enough.
It leads to the boundary line.
The ball was always going to be pushed that way.
Kavan across the ground to half.
Again, plenty of room to work with.
He looks towards centre wing.
Robyn makes good ground in front of Jacharich.
Jarman's lurking across half forward.
It will come inside towards McLeod.
Cook.
Does get the hand pass over the top.
But it's all West Coast Eagles.
They should clear.
Great tackle by Banfield.
Morrison gets it across to Worsfold.
Worsfold feeds the ball to Lewis.
Lewis, a little indecisive.
Back to Worsfold.
He's forwarded half back now.
Worsfold kicks towards half forward.
Taylor-Made for ran up.
He goes, spilled it.
Recovers.
Confronted by Matera.
Then gave it away.
Kemp to Donnelly.
He's got plenty of support.
Kicks it inside the 50.
Lots of crows down there.
Misjudged by Jamison.
Left it on the ground.
Sumich goes off the ground.
Gehrig his second time.
I think he's missed.
He has.
A let off there for the crows.
Quick thinking initially by Sumich.
Setting it up for that man.
Gehrig off the ground.
Just wide at the mark.
So the margin 15 points.
Jamison to kick it in.
And a breeze like this often upsets the zone.
Players so well drilled.
There's a lot behind the zone.
They make allowances, but sometimes not enough.
Jamison will go with a spiral again.
Doesn't quite connect this time.
It wobbles towards midfield.
Wren's got it.
A loose runner out towards the wing is Hart.
Now Hart can carry it down towards Hart.
No he can't.
Didn't carry it at all.
And Lewis suckers the ball across the boundary.
Bad fumble by Hart.
Great play by Wren.
He's having a bit of an influence.
He is.
Except for the handball to Kemp.
A couple of wasted opportunities by the Eagles.
One to Banfield and one by Fraser Gehrig.
They've had him a bit closer than the 15 points.
Schofield.
Petty's off the ground.
Badly injured.
McKenna also.
Gardner didn't take his place in the side.
Neither did McIntosh.
So the Eagles up against it.
McLeod marks across Hart.
Made the transition from a half forward flanker to a defender.
He's done it well.
He's been one of the best.
Koster cops one hard.
From Evans.
And 50.
It had to be 50.
Coming in late.
Same situation as McKenna on the other side in the first quarter.
And the one multiple goal kicker so far in the match.
Chad Rintoul for Adelaide.
He's got two singles to Koster, Modra, Smart and Bond.
And for the West Coast, singles to Fraser Gehrig, Simmons, Lewis and Matera.
So Koster.
Two kicks from goal.
Wren's the target.
And Grigget should have gone the punch.
But he's not going to be paid the mark because the umpire's in the cart, Roscoe.
That was touched.
The umpire, Rowan Sawyer, so I think Grigget's got two hands on it first.
So Wren, even though he's in front position, the ball just carried him initially.
See this?
Wow.
So a big chance for the Crows.
Just 35 metres out from goal.
Turnbull be happy to just take this through.
Modra trying to get there in time.
They tumble over line and force it through for a behind.
What did that well mean?
Well, it should have been a mark.
Well seen by the umpire.
16 points the mark.
Waterman to Tony Evans.
Almost down to half back.
Now he looks up towards centre wing.
Robryn Banfield and the boundary.
Grigget and Wren again.
Nigel Smart cuts across, looks down towards Koster who wants to sneak away from Evans.
He does now.
He draws clear and he spears it in towards the forward line.
The diving mark was by Modra.
The attempt was sensational.
He couldn't quite hold it.
Waterman takes the hand pass and tidies up to Lewis who marks between half back and centre wing.
Chris Lewis plays on quickly, gives it across to Jakubic.
They've got a chance to run it out now.
Johnny Wurst voll through the middle of football park.
He goes with a bounce.
He looks inside.
50.
A chance for Sumich.
A chance for the Eagles to score before half time.
Simmons is there, still going.
Now he's claimed wider to Kemp.
Kemp's tucked in the left forward pocket.
Jamison's on his hammer.
Kemp beats him.
He's still going, Dean Kemp.
He can tuck himself in glory.
But he hits the post.
Great effort.
Absolutely brilliant play, Sandy.
It wasn't just to control the ball in the first place and elude the tackle.
Deserved the goal.
Grateful stuff by Bickley too to get onto the footy.
He's the one that poked it out, unfortunately, towards his opposition.
Special play by Dean Kemp.
Ten possessions to half time.
Well, it's almost half time.
30 seconds away.
Lewis in front.
Missed it.
Johnson.
A late goal.
Down goes Kane.
Johnson.
Taken high.
Careful now.
Johnson on his feet.
That's the good news.
Kroos quick to get across and support.
Clock has stopped at 16 seconds.
And if looks could kill.
Fraser Gehrig.
Once Nigel's smart.
Watch it again.
Johnson.
Down.
To the other side.
Meantime, hearts got it.
It's about 75 meters from goal.
Intended for Rob.
And that was a good grab.
And the warmest pressure from Jakubic.
There's the siren.
It's half time at football park.
Important kick this one.
It'll take a very good kick.
Kroos whipping across the ground.
Right to left.
Well, his coach produced a memorable talk.
I wonder if he can.
Well, he's going for it.
Robron after the siren.
And the
Loaves.
This is to the near side.
And the West Coast Eagles and damage control in that.
I think that's the perfect summation.
They did his damage control.
I think they control that quarter pretty well.
Adelaide could have hurt them badly.
In fact, West Coast missing three goals.
Charging for that deserve to be kicked.
And the post by Dean Kemp drew Banfield running forward.
Did all the hard work just to miss to the right side.
So they'll be pretty pleased with that quarter.
610.46 the Adelaide Kroos.
The West Coast.

Pretty Woman 8.30 Thursday on 7.
Pretty Woman
It's a wonderful sight here at Football Park in South Australia for this first qualifying final.
Despite an overcast day and a strong wind blowing down the ground from left to right coming off the lake.
Blowing right down the ground to the golf courses to the right of the screen.
But it's still made for a very good contest down on the boundary line with a half time report.
Adrian Barrett and Neil Curly-Curls.
Sandy as we've seen and I think the viewers have seen also.
It's very difficult down here to control this ball well either with marking or kicking because the breeze.
It's a swirly breeze especially going around the ground.
It's making it very difficult for the players on both sides to handle it cleanly and also to kick out the goal.
And that's why of course we've seen such low scores and I thought the Eagles got back in that second quarter.
Oh there's no doubt Curls and I believe the Eagles think boys that they've seen the best of the Crows.
And that they can get over them in this second half.
Curls I'm sorry to tell you that mate but the injuries are the concern.
Guy McKenna hasn't come back out on the ground and obviously Brett Hetty is out for the rest of the game.
So that might even it up a bit but I know the Eagles they would be confident.
They think they've seen the best of your guys.
I don't think so.
And if Fraser Geary can film it, Geary can fire up.
I think the best is yet to come because the Crows half back line particularly of Hart, Caven and McCloud is just stopping your guys dead.
Now listen Curls don't punch me in the arm anymore okay every time they score because I'm getting bruises.
Thank you boys. Here we go second half at Football Park.
16 points is the margin. The home side is in front.
But the West Coast Eagles are kicking with the aid of the breeze.
Banfield couldn't take it cleanly.
Simmons pirouettes in the centre.
Banfield gets a second attempt down towards half forward.
The diving mark is taken by Andrew McCloud.
Been a good player this year. Has not missed a game.
And has been one of their keys.
Now Jarman's got a chance here in front of Kemp but Kemp gets him.
The ball swills free and it's socket off the ground.
Up towards Pittman and Griegich.
Pittman is in front spot. Gives the hand pass away.
Intercepted by Matera. Bond was the player it went to.
And there will be a throw in on the other side.
Peter Matera. His stats so far.
And the Eagles bench. They've been hit hard by injury as Adrian Barrick said.
Ben Cousins.
Himself a Norwich rising star that we were talking about at half time having a spell.
He's had a tough year. Ben Cousins Roscoe.
He's been targeted quite a few times.
Just the three possessions today.
Still on the outer side and slightly in the crows attacking zone.
Pittman doing the work from in front.
Here's Kemp giving it away to Peter Matera.
Formidable combination.
He pokes the ball in towards the centre.
Nigel Smart gets an awkward bounce.
So too Fraser Gehrig and Scofield.
He goes to ground.
And we're back where we started the second half from.
Kaven's been very good.
Tying it up again.
So a bounce alongside the centre circle.
The Eagles down.
Got use of the breeze in this term.
Got to be in front by quarter time.
Pittman to Connell brilliantly played.
High floating kick only went about 15 metres.
Missed by Lewis who was busy in the second term.
Robyn went down.
Hand pass comes across to Johns.
It was well played by Edwards.
Johnson for goal.
And he gets it.
What a start to the third term by the crows.
Well that start of this term as they hit in the first going into this breeze.
Just automatically seems to make players work harder.
And they have to go into a breeze and what they do if they're going with it.
They pick their work rate up.
They make sure they run on the overlap to get numbers to the footy.
Not an easy finish.
It's easy.
Johnson has kicked it very, very well.
The breeze has just dropped a little.
Well done by the inexperienced player.
That's his seventh goal for the season to Kane Johnson.
Adelaide lead by nine points at quarter time.
16 points at half time.
Now 22.
Johnson hands and knees.
So they've got the first goal which is so important in this third term.
Lewis.
The Eagles are kicking with the breeze.
So he pumps the ball inside.
50 pushing and shoving.
Sumich.
He's had a dirty day so far.
Plenty of support.
McLeod from Jamison.
Kicks the ball wide.
Great kick.
Finds Connell.
On the burst.
Kicks the ball to space.
The race is on.
Costa running with the flow of the ball with Banfield.
Gets to his feet first.
Tremendous athletician.
Jumped up.
Punches the ball back towards half.
Ball in line.
Bond.
Super quick.
He's got a chance to set it up.
He's got the loose player in Johnson.
He's come all the way down from the center square.
Tremendous play by the youngster.
Kicks the ball wide.
Here's Hart, the loose player, once more.
He's done it so well today, Roscoe.
He's been fantastic.
He's prepared us to run hard and go forward to help with Kavan just to set something up.
But smart play by Bond, too, to come back inside rather than just blaze away to the pocket
just to square the ball off.
Just kicked the one goal this season.
But he certainly does present himself well.
And they transfer the play.
Good stats for play coming off half back, Kabe.
And he's had a super game.
And what a start this will be for the Crows.
And they kick their second goal for the turn against the Breeze.
So Hart from 45 meters.
Wonderful kick off the boot.
Hart kicks his first.
An important goal to Ben Hart.
Just a second for the season.
No better one he would have kicked.
And again, finishing off well.
This is Bond coming back inside, as I mentioned, to find Johnson.
When turns, vision was very good.
He gives a melee to his left.
And here we see Ben Hart in picture now.
Had the opportunity perhaps to run off, but did the right thing and just settled.
Two into the Breeze.
The Eagles in strife here at Football Park.
Gregage is beaten.
Johnson again tries to take it out of the middle, but Schofield this time gives it to Jakovic.
And he gets on the end of a torp and he spirals it down towards Sumich territory.
Jamison is there to spoil.
Goodwin goes to ground.
Smart comes away to the outer side.
Away goes Roderan.
With him is Jakovic.
Matera going with Connell.
The foursome are there.
And...
Pippins is over the line.
There's a little bit of torque.
Malcolm Blythe's already having plenty to say in this second half.
But he looks pretty calm.
At the moment.
58 plays, 30.
Pittman will go again.
Connelly was his man on that occasion.
Chad Rintoul, the only multiple scorer.
Mick Malthouse ponders.
He knows he's got a big job now.
Look at Hart.
He's being sensational.
Wernbrenner towards the 50.
Chopped off by Jakovic.
And he gets clear of Roderan.
Goes over the middle up towards half forward.
That's better.
And at this time it'll be Matera.
With the opportunity of putting the west coast deep into attack.
Philip Matera in his first final.
Up towards Sumich.
Peter Sumich marks inside 50.
It's his first real opportunity to have a lead like that into some space.
Had the ball delivered out in front of him.
Put his hands on the ball a couple of times in a pack.
But hasn't been able to hang on to the footy.
19 finals and he's kicked 61 goals in finals.
Looking for his first today.
And this is 150th game.
He needs to start the west coast ball rolling this quarter.
At the moment.
28 points down.
To the booze of 40,000.
He starts at left.
They know it's left.
Needed the hook that time.
8'10", 4'7".
Jamison to Hart again.
He comes out of the back pocket.
High kick towards the wing.
Pittman hung on to Shorley.
He's got the free kick.
Yep.
Good call, Dennis.
He can't believe it.
But no doubting that.
Now Pittman wants 50.
And it's awarded.
Mumpire Allen stepping it out.
Not only his fourth final.
The most inexperienced.
The men in charge this afternoon.
And Pittman suddenly, down towards half-full with the crows playing terrifically well.
The kick floats to the pocket.
Push in the back.
It'll be a free kick.
That'll be 50.
Yes, Nick Stone to get the free and the 50.
Mr Mumpire Rich meeting out the penalty.
Just over 15 minutes till three-quarter time.
And what about running on the breeze, Roscoe?
Would you rather have it in the third term to try and get in front and defend it?
Or finish on it?
I think I'd rather defend it the way the Eagles play, Dennis.
If they can play like they did in that second quarter.
Matera comes out wide.
Yeah, me too.
But the way things are going at the moment.
No lead to defend.
The ball across the line.
It ricocheted off cave.
And well played by Geurich to flick it back under the crow boot.
Now he plays on.
Chips down towards the 50.
Evans needs courage.
Went back after it.
Couldn't hang on.
McLeod on the burst.
Into the path of Connell.
Connell inside this, Dennis.
Square kicks inside the 50.
Under the ball was Wren.
Tapped away by Stone.
Taken by Jakovic.
Taken front on by Robb.
And it spills across to Edwards.
Free kick, though, coming back to Jakovic.
A correct decision.
Jakovic wants to play on quickly to Turnbull.
Feeds the ball off to Waterman.
Back to Jakovic.
Into a bit of trouble.
Back to Turnbull.
Just thumps the ball back towards the half forward line.
It's into space.
Matera.
Can't get there and they'll toss it back.
So you're not going to kick goals with the ball coming down like that.
I mean, that's very untidy.
You've got to kick it to the top of the 50 metre.
In the middle of the ground.
Not go wide like that.
Makes it so difficult for the half forward line to come forward.
Adelaide by 27 points.
Pittman.
Smart there as well.
Donnelly.
Squeezed up on the boundary line.
Does well to keep the ball back in play.
McLeod.
Great tackle by Matera.
Costa.
Ever reliable.
It's been good today.
Tough and tenacious.
Back towards the half back line.
A push out.
Donnelly.
Against Connell Lewis.
Momentarily held.
Jarman traps it.
Can't feed it off to Connell.
Again, they'll toss it back in.
Under 14 minutes remaining in this third quarter.
The West Coast, kicking with the breeze, have managed just one behind.
On centre wing.
Donnelly front spot.
Jarman and Matera towards the line.
They'll do it again.
The wind has not abated.
Still blowing straight down the ground.
Pittman.
Straight onto the chest of Simmons.
Comes in towards the middle.
The Eagles desperate for a score.
Matera and that was Matera claim.
Kane Johnson will get a chance to clear.
Plenty of time.
His hand pass is okay eventually to Jamison.
He pushes wide.
That's okay.
Finds Tyson Edwards.
Young man playing in his first final.
Looks up towards Sean Wren at half forward.
Over the back and behind Turnbull.
Clean bowls a couple.
One was Ruintoul.
Warrnerman gives it away to Jackovich.
He gets caught.
Not before he gives it to Johnny Worsmold.
Tucks it under his arm.
Stanis.
Picks it towards the middle and finds Donnelly.
Off to Schofield.
The West Coast desperately trying to mount something.
Across the ground towards Banfield.
Held his ground beautifully.
Drew Banfield finishes off with a goal.
He's going to have to kick.
He kicks for a goal now and he puts it through.
That's the thing about.
That's what I like about.
That's the thing about.
The thing about.
That's the thing about.
That's what I like about.
That's the thing about.

A Touch of Frost is back on Seven.
Which means we've got a murder and a missing boy.
In an all new series premiere.
She's gone. She's gone.
Starring David Jason as Inspector Frost.
What amputation?
Continuing seven tradition of quality British drama.
He was my private parts on a plate.
Tandalising mysteries.
I just can't put my finger on it.
Trying to put the pieces into place.
Oh no.
For the first time on television, A Touch of Frost returns 8.30 Friday.
Shane Allen preparing to come on for the Crows.
Bittman to come off.
58 plays 37 in favour of Adelaide.
Bittman playing a major role with Wren.
Robyn do the ruck work against Donnelly.
Should be too tall. Should be able to control it.
Down towards Johnson.
Impressive young player.
Once more Bickley takes it.
That's good when it takes it over the line.
That's interesting KB because Donnelly's doing the rucking for the Eagles.
Malcolm Blood has responded to that.
He's taken his ruckmen off and Robyn at the present time is doing the rucking.
Sampson about to come back on.
Hart tries to get a fist to it.
Banfield beaten for it.
And will have a bounce on Sander Wink.
Change is being made now.
Sampson on.
Tyson Edwards having a spell on the bench.
Ten and a half crucial minutes in this third quarter remaining.
Hart sees it over the line.
Down to the boundary line.
And the
Curls.
From ground level here you can just sense there's a little west coast lift here.
The Crows have got to be careful in the next six or seven minutes because the west coast are lifting.
Still on Sander Wink.
Robyn and Donnelly bounces off Donnelly's head.
Hart may get the opportunity at the back.
Runs into Peter Matera.
Bang straight over the top of him.
And is going to get a free kick.
It'll come back.
Just forward of the centre.
Sandwich between Lewis and Matera.
What's the free kick for?
I didn't see what the umpire got the free kick for.
Two westers went in screaming.
Twenty first kick.
But Hart he's had a fantastic day.
Goes down towards the forward line.
Waderman tries to tap it towards Biggilya Grigich.
He's in trouble.
Matera's at the back for tidy up.
Peter Matera.
Steady's.
Heads towards Donnelly on the other side.
Takes a fine diving mark.
Sense of urgency now for the Eagles.
Time ticking away with the breeze in this game for them.
He's on half back.
Looks towards Sander Wink.
Very high kick.
Oh great mark by Kemp.
One hander.
Not against the boundary line.
So Michael Malthouse is going for mobility.
Donnelly is doing the rock work now around the ground.
He's getting a few possessions too.
As is Lewis who kicks well inside the 50.
This can run on.
Again by Matera.
Ball into the ground.
Is missed.
Or has he?
No he's got a goal.
What?
Great effort by Philip Matera.
They get their six.
Six, seven, eight, ten.
I don't think there's any doubt what Kool said.
The West Coast players just lifted to make sure they had this final thrust to get goals from the board.
Using his breeze in the third quarter.
Cut out in the last quarter.
That's class here for Phil Matera to get boot to ball in that situation.
Again the Eagles drag it back to 15 points.
They won't go away.
Rickick in the ruck.
Wins the tap.
Evans taken to ground by Costa.
Loose ball.
Jarman out of the centre square.
Hurry kick back towards the half board line.
Morrison a big thump away from Bond.
The race is on.
Bond is really quick.
Can't keep it in.
So Bond on screen.
Just the seven possessions in the one mark today.
Morrison absolute star in the first quarter.
Ten and two.
Youngster has just signed on along with Fraser Gehrig.
A couple of Victorian boys staying in Western Australia.
Wren too tall.
Matera.
Kieran Jakovic working overtime in this third term.
Donnelly caught high.
Keen to move the ball with the breeze.
They want to get the ball quickly into their forward line.
Morrison half back.
Connell.
Good tackle.
Forces the error.
And Banfield can't control it.
So Peter Vardy on the boundary line.
Who went off early in the game without a possession.
Cleaned up last week by Moorcroft.
So he gets a chance.
Connell back to Robben.
Wren tools off.
Vardy on Costa.
Going to drive the ball along inside.
50th chance for Modri.
He's got the set against Stone Modra.
Under pressure.
Puts it out on them.
The full.
15 points to the margin.
Crucial time.
Ben Cousins.
Set to come back on as well.
Kemp gets a touch.
Before it drifts over the line.
The ball is in the net.
Rising star winner.
37 games in his career so far.
But an excellent future ahead of him.
Connell around the body.
Down towards the forward line.
Clean balls a couple.
Not Jakovic.
Good quarter for Glenn Jakovic.
Thought about the hand pass.
He's got the ball.
He picks it up beautifully.
Gives it away to Chris Lewis.
65 metres out.
Chipped in towards the half forward line.
He's going to be beaten for it.
The defence of the west coast.
Standing firm at the moment.
Scoring very, very tough.
Gehrig overruns it.
Chips away towards Schofield.
He's close to the boundary line.
And he's gone over.
The ball is in the net.
Just in the Eagles attacking zone.
Grigich has dropped back into the square.
Robren to do the rack work with Donnell.
Almost down to centre-width.
The pair go at it again.
Banfield takes it.
He wanted Schofield.
Almost found him.
Just dribbles it along towards Cousins.
Delightful little side step by the youngster.
Floating kick towards Fraser Gehrig.
One hand only.
Again, pressure on the closed defence.
The door opens for Fraser Gehrig.
45 metres out.
He tugs it away to the right.
And pops through the half.
Disappointing finish there for Gehrig.
He knew that kicking that goal would just give him that impetus to go in this last six or seven minutes.
Let's get their noses in front at three-quarter time.
Margin is 14 points.
Here's Connell.
On the defensive, 15.
For Mariegel up towards the wing.
Bickley on the lead.
Loose ball behind.
Banfield.
Terrific turn.
Punches it back inside the 50.
Wide of Philip Matera.
Sumich has no support.
Dragged down by Jamison McLeod.
Shakes free.
Jamison sold into trouble.
Hand pass was stifled.
Philip Matera made something of nothing to Kemp.
Has he got the finish?
I'll leave it to the Goal Empire this time.
I think it's good.
It is.
Great pressure by West Coast 4s here.
Just to keep the ball in the area.
They forced Jamison to try and go back inside to find his team out in the boundary line.
But his handball found the legs in.
Is it Philip Matera coming forward?
No, it's Pleta Matera.
Then tries to knock it back inside.
And Philip Matera's in the way.
Kemp has always been a hereto when he's that close to goal.
That's the one they were looking for.
Credit to the Eagles.
They keep on coming.
They're within eight points.
Wren and the ruck.
Thumps the ball forward.
Schofield overruns the ball.
Kicked off the ground by Jakovic.
He's stood up and he's been counted in this third term.
Kicks the ball down towards the centre wing position.
Forces it forward.
Goodwin.
Centre wing for the Crows.
Beautiful kick.
Looking for Robrind.
Those go-go gadget arms going up.
Can't take it.
Should have got the call from Bond.
You can see there just a few words as Jakovic comes in.
Let's him know he means business.
So Jakovic is fired up in his third term.
So are the Eagles.
They lost Gardiner and McIntosh before the game.
They've also lost McKenna and Heddy during the game.
And a couple of times looks like they've been down and out.
Just a standing eight count so far.
Jarman, outside of 50, thumps the ball back.
Wrestling down there as Mardry's got it.
Fantastic balance there.
Because McStone's a strong fellow, not used to playing full back all that often.
Big jump for him today.
He's been pretty good under pressure.
And Mardry there just won out.
Both players jostling.
Mardry will keep his footing.
And control the ball at the same time.
Good direct kick to Jarman to get into that area.
Tony Mardry kicked the goal in the first quarter.
And he kicked four goals in the last four games.
So from point blank range.
Tony Mardry thumps it through.
There's no question he looks more dangerous today.
Last week got a goal in the first quarter.
Nothing after that.
Really did struggle.
Just his body language last week was pretty ordinary.
Today looks as if he's really wanting to make a contest.
Whilst he has a lot of the footy.
And he's just as much of a threat to the ball.
So he's not going to be that dangerous.
He's going to be as dangerous.
Back to a 14 point margin.
Tony Mardry has two goals.
Both kicked into the breeze so far in this game.
Setting it up for a titanic final quarter here at Football Park.
His first qualifying final.
And he's got a few from footy's home ground.
Right here on seven.
Here's Lewis.
Chris Lewis away for the West Coast Eagles.
Ran his full distance.
And then spirals a punt in towards goal.
But he's off target.
Away to the right.
Well they've got just over five minutes to try and close this gap even further.
Jamison chips in short to find Andrew McClough.
In turn to his skipper.
Mark Bickley.
141 game veteran now Bickley.
Wide to the outer side.
There's a big bar.
Taken by Jarman.
And he springs straight up.
Off to Matty Connell.
Suddenly the crows go deep into all of Modra territory.
Used the body.
Stone did well.
Matty Connell waiting down with Sampson.
Pannetbook was well tackled.
Jakovic down but straight back up again.
Brilliant to watch.
Pressure on Sampson.
Modra comes charging through.
He loses it.
Morrison at the bottom of the pack.
And the outfielder.
So it's a free kick for the West Coast boy.
For a tackle too high.
Morrison will take it at half back.
Well the cream is coming to the top too.
Some of the big names now starting to fire.
Moments ago.
Jarman on the wing.
Jakovic, Matera, Kemp.
Modra.
Timely goal.
Morrison out of defense.
Up towards midfield.
Smart peels off his man.
Too quick.
Too nimble.
Takes the mark on his chest.
Lift.
Grigich in his wake.
Nigel Smart.
His side up.
Nine, ten to seven, nine.
Just under four minutes till three quarter time.
Smart.
Takes the man on again.
Always going to happen.
Kicks inside the 50.
Waiting in front.
Turnball.
Stretches.
Plains it.
Simmons who started so well.
Out of defense.
Needs to be precise.
Lewis stretches.
Could have done better.
Slapped away by Hart.
Boundary throw in.
Left hand forward for the Croves.
Yep.
Got it that time.
It'll be tossed in.
With Turnball.
And Robron.
To go at it here.
Turnball.
Very conscious of Robron.
Wins it decisively.
Thumps it about 15 meters.
Well done by Bickley.
Got in front of Kemp.
Kemp claiming a free.
But the ball was behind Kemp.
They tie it up.
Bounce.
Thought initially Kemp would have got the free kick anyway before they got near the footy
because Bickley had him by the jumper.
Crows by 13 points.
Malcolm Blyde.
Still barking the instructions.
Runs it in.
He's got it.
Here comes Showers.
Rowan Showers puts it down.
He's 409th game.
Tapped out.
Hands and knees.
They pile on top one another.
Robron at the bottom of the pack.
Robron had a good deal on the first half of toi Leen Jankiewicz, but Jankiewicz has been
a terror strength in this third term.
McMoll lactouse also.
Maybe a little agitated.
Just need another goal before.
Three-quarter time.
Thump forward.
for Hart has been outstanding just throws the ball out shoveled it picked up and pinched
by Lewis sets it up to Banfield back to Lewis long raking handball is not going to hit a
target cousins was going backwards Kavan was coming forward Kavan from half back on the
burst this is a big play for the Crows kicks long Modra from behind he's got it sensational
play by Kavan right back by Modra.
Kavan and Ben Hart from half back have been absolutely outstanding along with the skipper
Bickley through the midfield and why Chris Lewis wanted to handball long in that situation
I don't know you've got the breeze kicking as quickly as you can.
Stone got a great lift but what about Modra's second at the footy and control it all the
way down and Ben, like John Chad Morrison says who on earth was that?
Modra's birded too this is a big play directly in front 45 meters out listen to the roll
he's got it.
I don't think there's any doubt KV that when they look at the replay Chris Lewis will say
why did I handball because cousins was caught on the back foot kick would have been spot
on get it forward great mark by Modra.
If you come to the football to see class like that.
Well I remember the third goal of Tony Modra's because they'll remember that sensational
mark out of the middle it's Banfield twisting and turning what we won down towards the right
half forward just over a minute and a half remaining now for the Eagles to do something
Donnelly finds Kemp almost down the right half forward goes in the wards Matera territory
and also Sumich pushed forward towards Bickley like a brick wall he stands firm he's been
sensational today Goodwin is there had it for a moment but then lost it out the back
door comes Cummins to the wards Lewis he's caught again.
He's in trouble Goodwin's got him.
And so the youngster will take it just inside 50 he'll be kicking from on 50 but he's got
the breeze at his back.
The margin at the moment is 19 points.
Resource Peter Sumich's kick from this area just going left.
Just want to aim for that right goal post.
Stammering approach from 49m has always gone way left.
And it enables Wren to get a fist to it they lumber after it.
Kaven will be first to it although Kemp will be handy.
Wren is there to assist as well.
Kaven eventually comes out with it back to the big man on all fours he wants the boundary
line he found Gehrig who has beautifully tackled and he's been picked.
Great tackle.
Indeed it was and this crowd getting very involved now sensing it.
Matt Connell in the back pocket.
Brides it up towards the wing hugging the boundary a pensive Michael Malthouse looks
on.
The hand field terrific Gehrig a little indecisive now Schofield coming off a team high 33 possessions
last week.
He's had 12 this afternoon towards the pocket.
Philip Matera the clock is down to five seconds McLeod does brilliantly.
Clock frozen on two seconds now.
The boundary throw in.
All the crows need do is hold here.
The Eagles need it off hands a kick and a goal.
They're down by 19 points.
There's the siren.
Great turn.
You just get the feeling the West Coast Eagles loaded up and took their best punch at the
Adelaide Crows and the Crows are still standing at three quarter time.

Then you're advising me to lie.
You have no other choice.
They're not above the law.
He can't win this.
Lindsay, don't bet him.
They just make it work for them.
You think it's true?
You won't think like that.
The practice following Profiler.
Wednesday on 7.
Well we know that injuries are taking their toll on the West Coast Eagles.
A little bit of manipulating for Peter Kavan at the three quarter time break.
But he'll be okay.
A great comeback by Peter Kavan.
Darren Jarman and the Crows out early from the huddle.
Breaking from Malcolm Blight.
They've got the breeze at their backs.
No doubt Mickey Moldhouse has just asked for one last big effort.
Because there is the scoreboard.
10-10-74 straight to the Crows in the third quarter.
The West Coast 7-9-51.
The question is can they get back?
Can the Crows hold on?
Let's go down to the boundary with Curls and Adrian.
Well Malcolm Blight has asked the players for one big final quarter.
And they've produced that in the last few weeks here.
They don't normally give away games at home.
And I expect Wren will be a key player this quarter.
Particularly playing loose man defence.
And what have you guys got to say?
Interestingly, that's exactly what Moldhouse says.
Grind away.
Stick to your game plan.
Run the ball.
Get yourselves.
The rain's coming down though Curls and the crowd's lifting.
So our boys have got a tough ask I think.
But they'll be sticking to it.
It's going to be a big last quarter Sandy.
It certainly is Curls.
Thank you.
Light rain as you said.
Starting to fall.
The wind however has not abated.
Still blowing straight down the ground from the lake.
As umpire Roland Soares gets the final quarter of this qualifying final underway.
The strut will continue.
19 points is the margin.
Wren with a big fist put straight to Banfield.
The Eagles will get a mighty lift if they can kick the first goal.
Down towards the half forward line.
Here's Philip Matera.
He's inside 50.
Goes across the ground.
Gives away a little bit of ground but he finds his brother.
Like the crackers.
Pick up Matera.
A long way up.
60 metres.
The Sumich lead is ignored.
He's back and goes again.
Matera wants something.
Eventually he gets it from the diving Donnelly.
Not going to be paid.
Banfield plays on quickly.
Cousins down but not out.
Picks himself up.
Pokes it in towards the right forward.
Hey the Sumich is there.
Jemison is right there with him.
I'm so due the bound.
All of a sudden it's become very dark here at football park.
Sleeping rain continuing.
Look at that Sandy.
Pretty wild out over the lake at the moment.
The game goes on.
Connell sees it over the line with Simmons.
As you can see now on your screen it's just starting to get a little heavier.
You'd like to be 19 points in front.
No word.
And going with the strong breeze.
Send this crowd into a scurry.
Brigage couldn't take it.
Connell working hard at the bottom of the pack.
Claimed by Lewis.
Peter Matera tries to come out with it.
May get the free kick.
Was held and he didn't have it.
So back it will go to Peter Matera.
One goal that was in the first quarter.
Still outside 50.
Now to 43,761.
He's in towards half-forward.
Peter came into the defense and the defense well.
To Costa.
Costa back towards the wing.
This is Peter who's trying so hard this afternoon.
All is slippery now for Jakovic.
Fine third term.
Kicks down towards half-forward.
Donnelly outnumbered.
Costa comes across behind the pack and knocks it across the boundary line.
Neil Kearley.
The crows wouldn't want this score because the wind is going around a little bit.
That wind sock is going to go straight across the ground now.
If anything, maybe far over the west coast end just a fraction.
That's interesting.
It's tossed in.
Wren trying to hit it behind.
Out the wisdom of that.
Lewis tries to soccer it forward.
Coming through Jarman.
Close to the boundary line.
It bounces out of bounds.
Adelaide have won 12 of 13 this season.
And they've led it three-quarter time.
They've been good at defending a lead.
We've got a throw in on the out-of-side wing.
18 minutes remaining in the game.
Adelaide by 19 points.
Curls thinks the wind has changed.
Spoken like a true South Australian.
It has too.
Wren takes it out in front of Griggy.
Thumbs the ball back towards the half-forward line.
Bond was playing in front.
Jakovic, superb third term.
Stood up and was counted.
No doubt about that.
Thumbs the ball back towards the wing playing in front.
Good grab by Donnelly.
He was very strong overhead.
Yes.
I've missed him.
From the centre wing to the half-forward line.
Fraser Gehrig in front.
Caverns had his measure today.
McLeod's been strong at half-back.
Matira the tackler.
Loose ball to Goodwin.
Around the corner.
Wren.
Thought he had it lost it.
Costa has got it.
Centre wing.
Can kick the ball long.
Inside 50.
It's a tumble kick.
Turnbull try to take a slips catch.
Getting backwards.
Waderman heads towards the boundary line under pressure.
It's a safe kick.
Just might make it.
That's the kick he wanted.
And I'll toss it back in.
It's amazing how quickly that breeze has swung around.
Now blowing across the ground and not down.
There you can see the windsock.
It's done a 90 degree change in five minutes.
Here's Beckley.
Beaten for it by Cousins.
Claimed by Smart.
But the youngster gets his kick up towards centre wing.
Garrett off towards Donnelly.
It's going to come back.
And there's a free kick.
Kavan said he's holding on against Garrett.
Interesting.
Kavan's on centre wing.
Got a couple of options.
Chooses Beckley.
Been very good Mark Beckley.
Crawl kicks.
Eleven hand passes down towards the forward line.
Danger here.
Morrison gets back on it.
Attached by Sampson.
As he lunges to the line.
Doesn't quite make it on the line.
Ten-eleven.
That is seven-nine.
Waterman.
Chips in to the outer side.
Finds Morrison.
Called a play on.
Danger here.
Modra's got it locked up.
And forces Waterman to the line.
So a chance now for the Adelaide pros to stretch this lead.
Modra has three goals.
All have come at the other end of the ground.
Turnbull and Robryn.
Preparing to do the ruck work.
Off hands it comes.
Jakubic.
Steady and strong.
Guides it to the outer side.
Smart doing the work from the back.
And it will be taken over the line by Goodwick.
For throwing.
With him is Simmons.
Testing time for the players.
Tricky conditions.
Greasy ball.
They're tired.
So much to play for.
Crows up by 20 points.
Jakubic and Robryn this time.
So the time remaining.
Robryn directs it down.
Coming through strongly.
Cousins feeds it back into the congestion.
Missed by Jarman.
Banfield has been wonderful.
Gets it across to Jakubic.
Jakubic drives it around the outer side.
Precariously close to the boundary.
And the breeze helps it across.
Ha.
Played a wonderful game.
Costa.
This is smart.
Through midfield.
Down towards half forward.
The ball hangs a long time in the air.
Turnbull running at it.
Didn't touch it.
Still a loose ball.
Vaughn putting the body in Waterman.
Morrison camped over it.
Suck it away by Barty.
Diving in Walsfold.
Gets it at close quarters to Turnbull.
Turnbull throws it on the boot.
Trying to trap it.
Camp he missed.
Grabbed by Bickley.
Floats it back inside the 50.
Turnbull.
Pull blooded.
Knocks it across the boundary line.
The boundary throw in.
That's sort of afternoon.
71 plays 51.
So a throw in on 50.
Robram doing the right work with Jakubic.
Walsfold.
Just thumps the ball back.
Once more very close to the boundary line but off hands.
So Tony Modja with three goals.
The leading goal kicker on the ground.
Goal in the first quarter.
Two in the third term.
A wonderful mark.
Bring up his last goal.
And Chad Rintoul also with two goals in that first half.
The major goal kicker.
So all single goal kickers for the West Coast.
Connell.
It's a wild hand pass.
Goodwin taps down.
Bickley.
Been a great skipper today.
Dives on the ball.
Showed courage.
Dunley over the top.
Kicked off the ground by Connell.
Still on the half forward line.
Good hands back to Goodwin.
Crows keep forcing the ball forward.
It's a danger sign here now for West Coast.
Good hands by Jakubic.
He's been fantastic since half time.
Gets the ball out.
Taken by the Crows.
Connell once more forces forward.
Modja's got the center.
That's a bounce run.
What a bounce for Connell.
And the Crows have got it.
We came in for some physical contact here in the game.
Matty Connell.
He's being a former West Coast player.
He'd be so very keen to do well.
Started on the bench.
Came on.
On to Matira.
And this is just a great reward for effort by the Crows.
Just to keep the ball in the air.
And Modja able to keep stone out of the contest.
And allow that ball to sail through for a goal.
And you'd have to suggest that makes it very different for West Coast now.
Matty Connell gets his first.
Now it's going to be tough for the Eagles.
Out in the middle.
Costa got a hand to him.
Lewis at the back.
Goes up towards the half forward line.
Bounces clear initially of McLeod.
Jamison defends.
Wants the boundary line and finds it on the other side.
But at the same time, lines 30 metres.
26 points the margin.
Tony Evans just warming up.
Ready to come back on.
Grigich beaten by Sean Renn.
Here's a chance for Connell at the end.
But since he could be away.
He is up towards the half forward line.
Towards Ellen.
Modja waits in the square.
Ellen chops one.
Gets clear.
Oh it's going to run to another goal.

Frankly I'm scared.

People don't seem to learn Paul.
Witness Tuesday on seven.
Those by 32 points.
Jack of each Banfield has been a great trial to Kim.
The ball back towards half.
Forward line long arms there of rain.
Cousins recovered quickly.
Rockets a ball to fill it material should kick a goal.
It's supposed.
The Eagles.
They needed that.
Jamison.
Probably a surprise move by Malcolm Blight lining him up at fullback after kicking six goals last week.
Kim.
Outside of 50.
Great smother.
Smart.
Pumps the ball back towards the half forward line.
Robyn got a lucky one.
Went to feed it off to McLeod.
Find it comes back to the half forward line body on the lead.
Morrison.
Like the pressure.
I'd like to get a free kick there.
But terrific smother across half back there by Kay Johnson.
Great work.
31 points the margin favoring the crows.
Jack of itch and Robyn Sampson down in front leaves it cost.
And again.
Morrison Supreme.
Exciting young player hasn't missed a game this season for the Eagles.
Looking punk kick.
Finishes.
With Dean Kim.
He looks up towards cousins.
Slight bit of the fumbles and he's lost it.
Ren calling for it.
Turnbull is there with him.
Robyn at the back.
And he's going to get a free kick.
So the pros really looking to finish this game off now.
He gives it to Matty Connell who's already kicked one in this quarter.
Connell goes into wards full forward.
Jamison from behind spoiled.
Pushes down towards Banfield.
Comes inside to water.
And he's got to wait for the land.
And then is forced to kick quickly.
Up towards the middle and Nigel smart.
Defends from behind.
Goodwin is there to assist McLeod.
Back it goes to Nigel smart.
The pros are looking okay now.
He goes up towards right half forward and he finds the champion.
Tony Modra.
Cool if they say.
Have a shot for number four.
45 degree angle.
And kicking from just inside 50.
Hasn't that half back line been just outstanding for the pros there?
Run.
Even players coming down from a pocket just to go on the overlap.
Jamison running down from full back.
Always someone to get the ball off to if you're in trouble.
Modra from 46 meters.
Drifted across the face.
And one behind goes on the board.
To Tony Modra and the Adelaide pros.
They stretch it to 32 points.
Waterman kicks in.
Finds Jakovic at right half back.
He's at wider still.
Morrison.
Hasn't given up.
Around the boundary line.
Low down.
And he's got the ball.
Donnelly plays on immediately to Banfield.
Hurtly.
But ricochets out towards the boundary.
That's not a mark.
I think the call is play on the umpire.
Waving them on.
Jarman knew about it.
I'm not sure Connell didn't,
but Connell kind of poxed the umpire and maybe be paid the mark.
Jakovic superbly done.
Mark the Jarman kickoff.
His step pops it wide.
Donnelly again to send the Eagles forward around the outer side.
Donnelly.
And he's got the ball.
Clever mark taken by Peter Matira.
Too far out to score.
Not a crowd favorite this afternoon.
As in short, Fraser Geary.
But generally Peter Kavan has been his master.
And that was a pivotal jewel coming in.
There was some doubt Dennis,
whether Kavan would be quick enough to go with Fraser Geary.
Jarman having words by Dennis Vick going inside and reversing this.
Giving Jarman a free kick.
So taking the ball off Geary.
Jarman's got it then.
Up from the back pocket.
And no doubt the West Coast Eagles will be eyeing the other results later today.
They need some help now.
Jarman just pumps the ball back.
Donnelly in front.
Back of the pack.
Smart.
He's got Banfield to beat.
Been one of the Eagles' best today.
Kicks the ball back towards centre half.
Ford-Rinn went the punch from behind.
They're holding Costa with Evans.
And they'll ball it up.
12-12, 84 Adelaide.
The Eagles 7-10, 52.
There's Peta Matera going up into a pocket.
Alongside Peta Sumich.
So Matt Connell racing back now to pick him up.
So Turnbull versus Wren.
Taken by McLeod.
Been a great half back line.
Put Kavan and Smart there.
Smiling assassin.
Worsfall kicks back.
Evans.
Inside the centre square.
So big chance coming up for the Eagles.
Kicks long, backing back.
He's got it.
It's Matera.
That move already has paid off.
Well, he's got an unfamiliar role for Peta Matera to go back as a second string full forward.
At times they've left him one out at full forward in some seasons.
It has worked well for them.
Matera.
From point blank range.
Kicks his first goal.
The second in back is kicked two.
Kicked one in the first quarter.
And that's the one they wanted at the start of the game.
So it started this last quarter.
Tony Evans who started on the bench.
Coming on and being productive already.
So Matera gets the first for the Eagles into the breeze in this quarter.
There's just eight minutes remaining.
Couple of belts and it's down towards Robb.
And he loses it to Banfield who gives it to Jacobish.
Now he threw it, said the umpire.
Umpire Rowan Sawers who's inside the forward 50-metre arc.
Sandy for the Crows paying that free kick.
From about 50 metres away.
Here it is again.
That's a little give.
Now here comes a talk.
Well, he tumbles it.
Doesn't quite get away with it.
Goes down in towards the right forward pocket.
Evans slaps it towards the line.
And then Shane Ellens see it over.
Close bench.
Tyson Edwards playing in his first final on the left of screen.
The runner, Mr. Jonas.
Former team mate.
Correct.
Yes.
North Melbourne.
Here's a chance once again.
This time it's Bond.
Held it for a long time.
Gave it towards Bentley.
Back to Robb.
And he snaps.
Play home the Crows.
That's the thing about, that's what I like about.
That's the thing about, the thing about.
That's the thing about, that's what I like about.
That's the thing about.

The Adelaide Crows 13-12, the West Coast Eagles 8-10, the newcomers, and over the finals veterans.
Off the deck by Connell, it ricochets off Jakovic, Banfield's over the ball, Philip
Matera trying to get through there.
Jarman lays a strong tackle in the back, says the umpire.
Umpire Rich in perfect position.
Philip Matera to Jakovic again, swings it out wide, stretching his scope field, fumbled
the mark, backs off his man, finds a hand pass, close to the boundary line, finds Donnelly.
Donnelly, down towards right half forward.
Strong cross breeze, still making things very difficult.
Up ahead, a bit of jostling, meantime Banfield oblivious to all of that, he's got the ball.
So it's smart and Geerig still have hold of each other just off the ball.
As a kick comes inside the 50, Wren was up, Cousins, what can he do?
Across the body, and he's missed.
From behind.
Can't take a trick today Ben Cousins.
The umpire, umpire Rich has gone across to Fraser Geerig to have a word.
13-12, 8-11.
Eagles need to be careful now.
A couple of things could still flow from this game one feels later in the week.
Crows by 31 points, kicks the ball wide, Cavan is pushing and shoving.
So they force the ball around towards the boundary line.
And they'll toss it back in, you'll see Cousins going to ground.
He's had a tough year, he's copped a couple of very heavy bumps, we see Sampson there coming off.
Been spoken to in fact by Peter Jonas.
But Cousins broke his leg there after 6 or 7 weeks.
He's had a tough to get back to his very best form, Costa off the ground, out on the floor.
Kim Costa himself coming back last year from a knee reconstruction.
So Roarsfold started the game on the bench.
The skipper looks for Donnelly, Kemp in front of hands.
Donnelly does well, keeps the ball alive.
Connell has had a very good last quarter.
Kemp around the corner, wanting the bounce was Philip Matera.
Kicks deep into the forward line, Sumich is his target, too much carry on the ball.
He's got the free.
Here's Philip Matera, just a little bit further left, Tony Evans running free, but he didn't seem so they went wide.
Sumich will get this free kick.
He interfered with.
Behind in the third quarter, so Peter Sumich going for his first goal, and the Eagles ninth.
Directly in front, he'll be kicking from 40 metres, Peter Sumich.
He'll wait the verdict.
He's got it.
It's a pretty tough day for Peter Sumich today, and he's 150th.
Well held by Rod Jamison.
He's worked very well, given, as we've mentioned a few times, Jamison Keaton six goals last week.
There's the free kick again, just interfered in his run to the footy.
A belated goal to Peter Sumich.
Long wait for Peter Sumich.
His first for the day, 62nd finals goal.
Samson tries to sucker it out of the ground, down towards half-four, chopped off by Jakovic initially.
Evans taken high, and he'll be free kick.
Tony Evans plays on straightaway towards Schofield.
Nicely through the middle, then long and low into the breeze, up towards Gehrig, got a hand to it.
Kavan did well to defend, giving it to his captain who comes wide at Acosta, and he can run.
Kim Costa, Jarman's about to leave the ground. He's done his job, Rintoul comes on.
Costa kicks towards the half-forward line.
Ella was in front, couldn't take it cleanly.
May get another chance, was taken high, and will have a free kick.
He's got a player loose across half-forward.
Bond, who was frustrated that he didn't get there, but he's going to go back.
This is kickable, and have a shot.
Taking from just outside 50, Shane Ellen.
Comes away to the right.
Almost a stony silence, there's one behind that was registered.
They kick four straight into the breeze in the third quarter, and have kicked another three, in fact, three goals through in this term,
and at the same time restricted the Eagles to just a couple.
Into the outer side.
Intended for Jakovic, slipping in front, Robyn almost the mark.
Flip Matera against the boundary line, gives it away.
Samson back home after being drafted by Melbourne in 94.
Had to wait till round 17 to force his way into this team to Connell.
Connell still inside the center square, long kick down towards full forward.
Morrison wanted, the mark didn't touch the ball.
Samson helped behind the pack, just in the nick of time, it was rushed across the line.
He needed that stone.
The man who arrived on time, and in stark contrast to the Eagles, as Jakovic takes this one in the pocket, of course, the Crowes sitting back,
hoping for some upsets this afternoon, and maybe a double chance.
25 possessions to Glenn Jakovic, and six marks.
Turnbull, from deep in defense, finds Simmons.
He's off to Waterman, through the center square, to center half forward.
This is where they've been falling down, across the half forward line.
Kavan's been superb.
Fraser Gehrig hasn't been able to use his pace today, plus 50.
Conn would have thought on this ground that Fraser Gehrig would have been a very damaging player, Roscoe.
Yes, but Kavan's playing just outstanding, and I think that's the 4.50 against West Coast today.
Peter Kavan.
Certainly has been a major player this year for the Crowes.
In defense, long raking, kicks a beautiful kick, deep in the forward line.
Allen gets back, this might bounce, it's hit the post.
93 plays, 65.
13 kicks for Peter Kavan.
Waterman brings it in.
Finds Evans.
Tony Evans.
Pops it over the top to accommodate Stone.
Goes wider to the outer side, that's where the big men are lurking, so to his kimp, had a hold of Ren, when he didn't have the ball.
Bounce on Sendawu.
Darren Jarman and David Pittman.
Good day for Jarman and Sandy, who's a player that had to lift from last week, and he's done that with 16 and 5.
Connell keeps it in play.
Around the body he comes, but onto the chest of Evans.
He's away, across half-back.
Looking up towards Fraser Gehrig territory, Kavan again is there, and is an effective spoiler.
Lewis tries a little toe-pick, Gehrig goes out the back door, and somehow gets clear.
Up towards Sumich, and Cousins, he couldn't take it, Smart hurries a punt back in towards the centre of the ground.
Johnson, gets a favorable bounce, Kane Johnson is clear, passes up towards the 50, goes in towards the right half-forward.
Pinovati was his target, Morrison's got him, however, and Morrison tumbles it back towards Sendawu.
It bounces over the top of Shane Elland, and will have a throw in.
With just a couple of minutes remaining, the Adelaide Crows, certainly now right in the race for the flag for 97.
Turnbull thumps it wide, close to the boundary line again, a lot of that this afternoon.
Schofield takes it across, Malcolm Blight would be enjoying this, burying some of the ghosts of the past.
Head-to-head Michael Malthouse, leading 11-5, coming into this afternoon.
No time like the present, forget the past, Blight has won this afternoon, and the Crows now in a strong position to challenge for the flag.
Philip Matera gets it across to Kemp, missed by Donnelly, came back to Donnelly, still Donnelly, lost it eventually.
Edwards against the flow, Kemp, great tackle, Smart got him down, ball jarred out of there.
Donnelly flies in once more, over the bull is Connell, through Koster's legs, picked up out there by Lewis, he kicked it the wrong way.
Sockered forward by Kemp, gathered by Philip Matera, Bacon Square bounces the wrong way.
As far as the West Coast Eagles are concerned, to behind.
So Jemison to bring the ball back, just over a minute of action left in this final quarter.
It's been a big day for Adelaide, Tyson Edwards rockets the ball back to McLeod, been great across half-back.
Just rolled the shoulders, thumbs the ball back towards centre half forward, Robyn, great duel, Jankovic, Jankovic has been superb, particularly since half-time.
Rintoul kicked the opening goal of the match, spent some time on the bench.
Allen back to Kavan, who's been outstanding, to Bond, runs in from 50, should bang it through, and he does.
Two goals to Troy Bond.
He's been a pretty lively player all day, Troy Bond, just always giving West Coast half-backs someone to think about.
He's so slippery and evasive, and he's complimented Robyn very well.
And they've got to finish the match for him.
99 plays 66. Much of this 43,000 strong crowd waiting right until the end.
Kemp finds Lewis, he's almost down to half-forward for the West Coast Eagles.
Sunshine again, filtering across football park. Jamison, eyes only for the ball, wanted good one.
Jamison goes again, he finds Clay Sampson, Sampson from half-back.
Didn't have a lot of options down towards the centre wing area, so he opts for the boundary line.
Perfect.
And a throw in on the centre wing. Rintel on the worst fold.
Wren from behind, slaps it clear.
Here's the skipper, and that is the side run. Victory for the Crows.
33 points, the eventual margin.
Aniline 14-15, the West Coast Eagles, 9 goals 12.
Tony Madra, 3 goals, all into the breeze.
Carlson's down there amongst the players, I'm wondering if he's ready to have a chat.
Possibly not quite yet.
The chat continues. The mighty Cameron Crows, they were that today, Ross Glendening.
Yes, I'm in complete contrast to last week, and that's what I thought might have gone against them today, just their form.
They turned that around in five or six days. I thought it was going to be difficult, West Coast conversely.
All their good players up. I think we can go down to Curls now.
Yes, thanks very much, Ross. Well, Mark, you guys are ready for this one.
Yeah, I think so. We've had a bit of a flak at the end of the week without losing last week.
We've really set our sights on being very positive today, and we've worked very well against the Breeze in the first quarter.
We just took it from there.
Your half back line today with McLeod, Caven and Hart. Absolutely fantastic.
Yeah, the run generated from those guys really does set our game up.
They take a few chances, and today they turned out pretty well and just opened the game up for us.
I also thought your rucks on top and gave your first look at the ball.
Yeah, the centre square was a lot better this week. That's one area we've had a bit of trouble with.
We're winning the taps, but we weren't capitalising on them. I thought today we were pretty hard in the middle.
And a very good team effort. They were hard at the footy.
That's what we've probably played and tried for all year. I thought today everything was quick for us and we got the desired result.
Well done, Mark. Congratulations. Back to you, boys.
Thanks, girls. And the eventual margin here at Football Park, 33 points as we take a break from Football Park.

Roscoe?
We're almost 43,000 fans of Left Football Park.
We now turn our attention to tonight, Roscoe, the big clash at the MCG, Geelong and North Melbourne.
On paper, it's a very, very good-looking North Melbourne side.
Geelong without Derek Hall, what are your thoughts?
Well, they've got to Stonem and Colbert back in, Sandy.
So those two players, particularly Stonem with his versatility either centre-half back or centre-half,
would pick up a McCurnan or in fact a Kerry, that sort of play.
Colbert, of course, we know, can play all around the ground.
I think they'll miss Derek Hall, though. He's one of those players who...
Strong mark.
Yes, and I think some opposition player at opposition sides,
not underrated but don't really show the effect he has on the game for Geelong.
He plays any numbers.
He can play a ruck-roving role, a rucking role.
He can play a key forward position.
And he is, as you say, a terrific mark and a good goal kicker.
What about North Melbourne? On paper, they do look very good.
Yes, it's probably as good as the side they've had all year.
And if they can afford to leave someone out like Dean Laveley, Sandy,
then they are looking very strong.
On form, you've probably got to go for Geelong.
But I just sense that North might get up.
OK, that's to look forward to tonight.
Just check your local guides for details.
Here in Adelaide, the Crows are doing exactly that.
They're crowing after a 33-point win.

Tonight, a resounding win for the Adelaide Crows in their first home final.
Britain and the world farewell the people's princess
and Earl Spencer's provocative eulogy to his sister sparks controversy.
Good evening. First tonight, we cross to our reporter in London,
Narelle Hill, and the controversy raging over Earl Spencer's eulogy
to his sister, Diana.
Narelle, it was that part of the funeral service that everyone is talking about.
Yes, John, there's quite a storm brewing here in England
over Earl Spencer's pointed remarks in his tribute to Diana.
Some argue it wasn't the time or place to renew his attack on the paparazzi
and more sensationally challenge the royal family's hold over Diana's sons.
Diana's funeral stopped the world, but it was her brother who stole the attention,
choosing Westminster Abbey as the stage to attack the royals.
Diana was the very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty.
Someone with a natural nobility who was classless
and who proved in the last year that she needed no royal title
to continue to generate a particular brand of magic.
A direct jibe at the decision to drop Diana's royal title after the divorce,
then a plea not to let his sister down by allowing William and Harry to become too royal.
So that their souls are not simply amassed by duty and tradition,
but can sing openly as he planned.
It was to have been a tribute to Diana, but this was a statement.
Earl Charles Spencer, well aware of the global audience,
also launched into the paparazzi for the second time this week.
I don't think she ever understood why her genuinely good intentions were sneered at by the media,
why there appeared to be a permanent quest on their behalf to bring her down.
It is baffling.
An extraordinary speech, met by an extraordinary response.
In London, Neil Warren, 7 Nightly News.
But despite the controversy, or perhaps because of it,
there was no doubt in the minds of the billions who watched Diana's funeral
that this was a fitting tribute for an extraordinary woman.
The young princes never cried. They were composed throughout, before the gaze of millions.
The sort of composure the watching crowd simply couldn't match.
And on top of her coffin, a tribute from her boys.
The remains of Diana, Princess of Wales, leaving her home for the last time.
As they neared Buckingham Palace, the royal family walked through the gates,
a collective show of respect for the shy girl who went on to outshine them all.
Their heads bowed as the gun carriage rolled past.
The procession's wake was growing.
At St James's Palace, it gathered more than 500 mourners, all from Diana's 110 charities.
And another crowd was waiting at Westminster Abbey.
Pavrotti, Elton and George, Hillary, Kissinger, Attenborough and Alclive.
Then family, the Queen, followed from the car by a frail Queen Mother.
The Spencer family arrived.
And that of Diana's companion, Dodi Fayet.
At St James's Palace, it was a
That of Diana's companion, Dodi Fayet.
I stand before you today, the representative of a family in grief.
So began that controversial tribute from Diana's brother, Earl Spencer.
It left him close to breaking.
Above all, we give thanks for the life of a woman.
I'm so proud to be able to call my sister.
Then from emotional words to the most powerful of songs.
Goodbye, Drones.
May you well grow in our hearts.
You are the greatest place to stand.
One of the world's greatest showmen offered his tribute.
Most thought he would never reach the last verse.
Goodbye, Drones.
May you well grow in our hearts.
You are the greatest place to stand.
