Crouch (#2) and Douglas have been hopeless around the contest and repeatedly turned the ball over. The Crows' midfield is falling apart and too many of them are much too eager to get rid of the ball.

Last 5-10 minutes of the second quarter:

1. Free to Betts being held in the goal square not paid.
2. Blatant chopping of hands / arms not given to Adelaide at half forward.
3. Jacobs being mauled from behind by the Richmond ruck in a boundary throw in - not paid.

Poor umpiring is influencing the game so far.

Umpires awarding everything to RICH & nothing to ADL.
Similar to last years GF with the Bullflogs.

Crows are getting royally screwed!

Tigers have this in the bag now. Thankfully we might not see KB and 1980 highlights as much anymore

Tigers can't possibly lose now?

No fix. Crows have just choked. They are pathetic. Jenkins and Tex are AFWL worthy right now

Game looks over and done with. Crows have up to five players carrying injuries and the umps are giving them nothing in return. Their handballs aren't sticking and they're bombing it long to no one. Tiggaz all over them and applying the most pressure. Reckon the crows showed up expecting to win today. Can't see them getting up unless they find a miracle and turn it on.

I think some are premature writing off Adelaide.

It's only 9 points.

Don't forget the tackle on the boundary line where the Richmond player drove the crows player into the ground; blatant in the back but not paid.

No doubt the umpires have favoured them.

Was always going to come down to who handled the pressure better. So far it is Richmond. Crows need to get the first couple of goals in the third otherwise Tigers will run over the top of them
