What happened in the Round 13 match between the Crows and the Cats?
Get one's real pleasing. You know, great side. Geelong are such a great side, have been for so long.
I think it's 21 the last time we beat them. For me, it's more about the way we did it, the way we got it done. You know, deep down, I just know how good we are. And it's hard sometimes to sort of walk in here and talk to that. But I will today. The boys executed under immense pressure and, you know, incredibly proud of the way they went about it. And they deserved the result.
Matthew Nix, the Adelaide coach on Thursday night. Crunch time for the all-new Ford Ranger Wolf Track V6 and Azito brushless power tools built to work. Azito, do you. You didn't have to stretch to find the dramatic interpretation of season on the line. And then when you were watching it, as soon as they ran out and stopped at the banner and they were there for a prolonged period of time for one more, you go, oh, I know exactly what this is. And they played like it. Yeah. Play with emotion, and that's what we want from all clubs. And they played like the season was on the line. I think the conditions suited them, Kane, too, because I think they were pretty dour. Win the contest, bring in the pressure, bring the heat, and then hopefully a top-end talent can get it done.
And that probably undersells them a little bit, but the conditions... But mind you, last time they played down at GMHBA Stadium, it was the same, but they were the hunters the other night. Yeah, they were definitely on the front foot, and it didn't feel like that... at the Cattery. So well done. He was so happy. You could tell how so proud. You've been saying this. This is exactly how he feels. We are better than this. Come on, believe. You know, so, I mean, all you want as a coach is someone to believe in you. And he's got that in spades. So for him to go, I don't want to talk about it, but I will. Because that was so good. And that was such a great feeling. And that's why you coach. You know, you're having a glass of red that night.
You're coding the game. And you're so proud of your boys. And you know it's led by the captain obviously and we can talk about that in detail and the way they went about it Kane was first class because they weren't always it was going both ways wasn't it?
How did the Crows execute under pressure against the Cats?
Absolutely in the balance you know line them up talent for talent you'd pick Geelong every day of the week particularly with no Phil Thorpe no Rankin but everything you said about their Best pressure team in the comp, best tackling team in the comp. Some of their tackling, they laid 88 of them, plus 26, I think it was, in tackles. And they were big, full-body tackles. Their commitment, there was Taylor, the ground ball, inside 450 earlier. Taylor's attacking the ball like that. Wow. Hang on a second. Is that a compliment?
No, no.
It's Zach Taylor. Zach Taylor. not not not the text version but he was pretty good too i'm happy to give him i'm happy to give him a compliment i thought he was excellent i thought he was clean and smart but players like the the lesser lights that were willing to sacrifice their body and then you had a couple of sort of finger sort of tackles from geelong you know okay there's a there's a difference here now they did ramp it up the cats i thought the longer the game went on and later in the third term when it was in the balance but Yeah, that was one of those home-and-away ones where you've got one fit player on the bench at stage in the last quarter, and you go, if there's still 10 minutes to go, we've got one fit player.
If they can pull this off when they were challenged, they'll remember it forever, and it gives them a great opportunity to set their season up, albeit it's not going to be easy. Like, this injury list is building, and there's some players that are playing sore, I think, but Curtin coming back in really helps, and his form now starting to turn for them. And they found a couple of... a couple of players that now look like genuine AFL players and a couple that have got their touch back. Like McElhaney didn't have a big night, but he did a good job on camera when he needed to.
