Match report: Five-in-a-row Crows down tumbling Roos
June 23, 2016 10:30 PM
ADELAIDE has overcome its most inaccurate performance in almost 23 years but still managed to notch its fifth-straight win, handing North Melbourne a 33-point defeat at Adelaide Oval, 12.28 (100) to 10.7 (67).
The Crows’ return of 28 behinds ‘bettered’ its round-20 score in 1993 of 13.27 (105) against Melbourne.
The loss was the Kangaroo’s fourth-straight to a top eight side this year, with the Western Bulldogs remaining the only top eight team they’ve beaten.
The Crows were their own worst enemy for the most part on Thursday night, with poor execution entering attack combining with inaccuracy in front of goal to keep the Kangaroos in the contest far longer than they should have been allowed.
But Daniel Talia was brilliant in defence, Jake Lever and Rory Laird rebounded well, while Matt Crouch and Rory Sloane were superb through the midfield.
