Quarter 1

00:00
Welcome to AAMI Stadium for Adelaide vs Fremantle. The Dockers come to Adelaide in sensational form looking to maintain their top four status. The Crows need to win at home.
00:01
We are off and underway in Adelaide.
01:10
GOAL DOCKERS - Mzungu kicks it forward where the ball continues to bounce to the goal square. Suban runs onto it and and kicks it off the ground for a goal.
01:30
SCORE GOAL - Dockers (Nicholas Suban)
03:00
It will be a mad scrappy scramble today with the conditions not conducive to free flowing footy.
03:48
Crows Interchange - David Mackay off due to an injury.
05:00
Crowley paying close attention to Dangerfield today. Not the kind of attention Dangerfield would appreciate.
06:00
BEHIND CROWS - Ibbotson thumps it through for Adelaide's first score of the match.
06:07
SCORE BEHIND - Crows (Rushed)
07:15
SCORE BEHIND - Dockers (Hayden Ballantyne)
07:20
BEHIND DOCKERS - Much like the Dockers' goal earlier, Ballantyne runs onto the bouncing ball and soccers off the ground, but this time it's a behind.
09:00
Laird shows tremendous courage to take the smother in the face from Mzungu.
09:12
SCORE GOAL - Crows (Patrick Dangerfield)
09:20
GOAL CROWS - Dangerfield is assisted with a shepherd and runs in to kick the easiest of goals.
10:30
GOAL CROWS - Someone has issued out a carbon copy here. Dangerfield edges out his opponent and runs into the goal square for another goal. Dangerfield and the Crows have 2.
10:35
SCORE GOAL - Crows (Patrick Dangerfield)
12:30
The Crows are beginning to get on top but they may have their injury concerns with two players struggling in the treatment rooms.
14:25
GOAL CROWS - Sloane with the centering kick from the pocket. Petrenko works his way to the front position and marks it well. He takes care of business by kicking the goal.
14:30
SCORE GOAL - Crows (Jared Petrenko)
15:50
Both teams seem to be kicking the ball long whilst the ball is still light. Won't be long before the kicks begin to be short and low.
16:45
BEHIND CROWS - Last week's hero, Sam Kerridge, fires in the quick shot but he misses to the left. I'm certain most North Melbourne supporters would have liked that to happen last week.
16:57
SCORE BEHIND - Crows (Sam Kerridge)
19:00
Adelaide leading all the key success criteria statistics at the moment. It's no wonder they are 13 points to the good of Fremantle.
19:45
Ballantyne marks in the pocket but he then kicks a looping centering kick that gives Dangerfield ample time to chime in and cut it off. Ballantyne should have lined up as a noted goal kicker.
21:09
SCORE BEHIND - Crows (Jarryd Lyons)
21:20
BEHIND CROWS - Lyons sneaks inside 50. He ignores Lynch and kicks over the top hoping for luck, but it bounces the wrong way. Lynch asks the question.
22:43
SCORE GOAL - Dockers (Hayden Crozier)
23:00
GOAL DOCKERS - Some great work by Ballantyne and Mayne sees Crozier take the mark. He's not keen to take the kick but he goes back and slots it through. Never in doubt.
24:15
BEHIND CROWS - Lynch marks 45 metres out. He knows how to kick them as demonstrated against the Giants a few weeks ago. Lynch gets behind it and thumps it, but it's only a behind.
24:23
SCORE BEHIND - Crows (Tom Lynch)
25:54
SCORE BEHIND - Crows (Rushed)
25:55
BEHIND CROWS - Smith's long driving kick from the 50 comes back very nicely. It looks good, but it's touched on the line. So close yet so far.
27:30
Adelaide have been fierce with their tackling and seem to be the team better suited to the conditions at the moment.

Adelaide leads by 10 points at quarter time.

The ball is pumped deep into the Dockers forward line with Ballantyne dropping the chest mark just 12 metres out.
01:50
GOAL DOCKERS - Danger here for the Crows. Mzungu has it just outside 50. He runs in and looks up at an empty goal square. He kicks to it and lets the ball do the rest. Good kick!
01:52
SCORE GOAL - Dockers (Tendai Mzungu)
03:10

GOAL DOCKERS - Some Ballantyne brilliance is on display here. He roves the marking contest, takes a step out to the right and kicks it with the outside of his boot through traffic for a goal!
09:15
GOAL DOCKERS - Fremantle have taken the game by the scruff of the neck in this second quarter. Suban takes the ball and breaks the tackle before snapping it through. Dockers in front!
09:27
SCORE GOAL - Dockers (Nicholas Suban)
12:00
Dangerfield marks it in the pocket 40 metres out, but the right to left wind takes hold of the ball and it goes out of bounds on the full.
