Good win for the Crows, they needed to do that really after a poor first game.

Brilliant work mate, keep it up!

I'm guessing Port Adelaide are the second best team in Adelaide. Great win for the crows again but how long can they keep on go?

Brilliant presentation mate, keep it up!

Hawthorn go to 2nd on the ladder.

The Hawthorn Hawks have moved to 2nd position on the AFL Ladder yesterday with their win against the Adelaide Crows at Launcestorn in Tassie. The Hawks led by Buddy Franklin dominated the young and helpless Crows to win by 52 points in front of a healthy crowd.
The Hawks were dominate all afternoon. Leading at every change, it was just a day the Crows would wanna forget. Lance Franklin kicked 6 goals against Nathan Bock as Ben Rutten is missing from the Crows line-up and hasn't played all season. Bock was good for the Crows, but Buddy had the last laugh as he slotted home 6 big ones.
His partner in crime, Jarryd Roughead, had the job on Scott Stevens who played as a perminant backmen with the absence of Rutten and Roughead turled him up. Roughead kicked 3 goals, and was one of the Hawks best in their big win.

Not all was wrong for the Crows. Their 2 leading goal kickers for the season, Brett Burton and Simon Goodwin continued kicking goals. Burton finished with 4 and Goodwin kicked 2 in the 1st quarter, but they didn't have any other contrbutors. Adelaide need to recruit some gun forwards over the summer or else they will have no hope in playing finals. Burton and Goodwin are both middle sized players (180-185cm) and they can't rely on those 2 to kick their goals every game. Trent Hentschel, Ken McGregor, Nick Gill or Kurt Tippett needs to put their hand up and say, give me the role to play key position, and they need to perform.

Hawthorn: 3.3 - 7.4 - 11.6 - 17.8 - (110)

Goals: Franklin 6 - Roughead 3 - Lewis 2 - Dew 2 - Croad - Guerra - Osbourne - Rioli
Best: Franklin - Roughead - Birchall - Guerra - Dew - Croad
Disposals: Birchall 26 - Croad 25 - Osborne 24 - Guerra 24
Injuries: Luke Hodge - Ostetitis Pubis - Season
Reports: Shane Crawford making contact with an umpire - 2 weeks

Adelaide: 1.0 - 4.1 - 7.8 - 8.10 - (58)

Goals: Burton 4 - Goodwin 2 - Vince - Porplyzia
Best: Burton - Goodwin - Massie - Bock - Stevens - VanBerlo
Disposals: Massie 23 - Bock 23 - VanBerlo 23 - Stevens 20
Injuries: Nil
Reports: Nil

A disheartening loss their for the Crows.
Burton did great though with his fair share of 4 goals but unfortunately it was not enough to stop Franklin and Roughhead's dominance.
Great update mate, keep it up!

Hopefully you can pull off a win this time to make up for last week's poor effort
