Match report: Small Crows star in big win over Bombers
July 31, 2016 7:55 PM
ADELAIDE has secured a valuable percentage boost with a thumping 82-point win over Essendon.
But Sunday's victory looks to have come at a cost, with ruckman Sam Jacobs suffering an ankle injury early in the second quarter of the 22.11 (143) to 9.7 (61) win at Adelaide Oval.
Jacobs didn't return to the field after landing awkwardly on his left ankle, and later emerged from the sidelines on crutches.
It was a rare sore point for the Crows, who were hardly troubled by an outmatched and overawed Essendon.
The Bombers showed the right signs early on, winning the most clearances and inside 50s in the first quarter. But the difference in skill levels between the two sides was telling.
