The award-winning crunch time.
It is four in a row to Adelaide. They just look dangerous. They're all on the move. Here's Papley. Here's Tommy Papley. And off he goes, Tommy Papley. That juggling. Oh, McAndrew's claimed the mark there. The umpire said, no, you didn't mark it. He's turned it over and Papley's kicked the third.
What happened in Adelaide's dominant Friday night win over Sydney?
In the fourth pocket, Grundy down to Rowbottom. He's got one. He's now got two. James Rowbottom inspiring the Swans on a wet Friday night. Two goals in a minute and Sydney all of a sudden lead by seven points. Phil Thorpe flies, Saligo rushes through, handballs to Rochelle, over the top, goal coming up to Fogarty from the square and Adelaide, the Crows are in front. Inside 50 they go and Fogarty's marked it. The kick from Cook was good. Darcy Fogarty on the approach from 40 metres, right of centre. Of course he kicks it. Getting a handball. That's it! This is a famous Adelaide victory. The Crows surging back into top four calculations and maybe premiership conversations. We're in a good position as a group.
We're highly connected. We're really enjoying our footy. We know how we play. The challenge for us now is can we turn up and do it week after week? We're going to get a short break this week, so we're going to go and do it again.
The Crows prevail in a high stakes, heavy jack slugfest in Sydney, staking their claim as contenders and loosening the Swans' hold on second place. To Myers, who's got a couple of options, he's got Polkinghorn long, the Polk, he's up there!
and has a good long think about it. A moment that he'll remember forever. He's been doing this for fun in the twos. He's been the in-form forward.
They've brought him in and he delivers. Wilkie goes and gets it. Gave it to Silvani. Good dance step. Got away from a couple. But then he kicked it straight to Myers who kicks a miraculous goal. Myers unbelievable. Welcome back. Olly Henry gets on the end of the spill. Gets it over to Myers. It's a bit against the grain if they get one here. He chips it to danger. Runs to 20. Runs to 10. Goal. It's the win that Geelong most needed. A compelling four-quarter performance. Sets things right, they pick up the chase, and for Sekilda the long drought down the highway goes on. Geelong pick up that chase for the top six, but the cost was high. A second star undergoing surgery and unlikely to return.
I spoke to them, I'd describe it as a fact-finding mission from both sides, Gerard. We had a discussion and I generally describe it as a fact-finding mission. Brownie, as I said on Sunday, I'm not going to give comment on the process, now I'm in the process, or respond to comments.
Which Adelaide players stood out and how did Fogarty influence the result?
So I'd prefer just to leave it. I think it's not fair to Essendon or to myself to keep talking about it. Because those cameras are... I'm by no means a technical guru, but at the moment we do, they're 40 frames per second. These will be 200. So it'll be much clearer. We've got a couple of those cameras out and we're trying them and at the moment they look good. I mean, someone creates a story that I spoke to AFL players and they think Bulldogs might come for him. Like, which players? St Kilda players? Bulldogs players? Gold Coast players? And I understand you're going to fill content, but you're actually creating your own story.
And the blurring of the dual hemispheres of the modern football world. The chase for the here and now mixed with the plotting for a better future. This is the Round 19 edition of Crunch Time.
The Crows by 16, the Cats by 27, and more than 80,000 bound for the MCG tonight to see the next instalment of Collingwood and Carlton. Crunch time is for the Ford Ranger triple stack deal and Azito brushless power tools built to work. Azito, do you. Gerard Whetley with you. Ensconced at Adelaide Oval, almost as if holding vigil after what the Crows did last night. Our two fine experts today, Hall of Famer and the Crows' only Premiership captain, Mark Bickley. Hello to you, Bix.
G'day, Gerard. What a great win last night. The sun is shining here in Adelaide, so we're in for a big clash later this afternoon.
