As two mighty clubs clash the Adelaide Crows prevail in what turned out to be one of the best games I have seen in a long time. Both teams played as if it was finals football. As hard as Sydney tried they were unable to defeat the Crows.
Though the Adelaide was losing by the first half they managed to pull away in a brilliant third quarter. They turned a 8 point deficit into a 17 point lead.
Now for some stats.
