TWO BEHINDS CROWS
Jenkins continues his inaccurate day as he kicks his 4th behind. Freo then turn the ball over and Lyons misses on the run. Crows within a super goal of tying it.

GOAL DOCKERS
Bizarre scoring chain for the Dockers after accidentally giving up a rushed behind kicking across their own goal, promptly take the ball the length of the field and get another snapped goal from Suban.

The Adelaide defence has looked impressive all day and are keeping the Crows in the game here in the 4th quarter, great effort in contested situations and solid rebounding.

GOAL DOCKERS
Taberner finally converts after a mark! He’s looking good as the only key forward with Pavlich sitting out this half.

THREE QUARTER TIME
Taberner again takes a nice mark inside 50 but again blows an easy set shot not even making the distance! He’s presenting a lot better this quarter but his goal kicking has been atrocious the last couple of minutes.

Nice piece of play from the Crows as Douglas cuts the ball inside for Van Berlo who finds Jenkins just outside 50. The shot at goal is long enough but sails wide.
