Crows lose defender for months after broken arm

Running on MD after a Sunday night thriller that drew everyone in. Yeah, it was a bit weird. Bit of an empty feeling the deadlock with Brisbane just the third drawer in crows history prompting renewed calls for extra time. I honestly don't know. I think so. I think so. I think everyone in the stadium would have if you play four quarters of you know what is it, 120 minutes plus the football and and the teams can't be split I think that's a that's a fitting outcome. It's the fourth time this season Adelaide's fate has been decided by a goal or less but only once have they come out on top leaving them in 12th. Two wins out of the 8. Convincingly beaten in the aerial contest but but all over the ground, our ball use wasn't where it needed to be. We're playing some solid football at the moment, but we've still got these work ONS to be able to, you know, get over the line in a game like that. Despite the result, Isaac Rankin was very much your winner, making a major impact through the middle with 24 touches to go with three magical goals. And me going into midfielders sort of crowd, bit of havoc and bit of spark in there. So I'm happy going in there a bit more and I'm sort of at the age where I need to start playing a bit more consistently and becoming, you know one of the leaders in the team, the 24 year old fast becoming Matthew Nix's most dangerous weapon. But a spike in midfield minutes isn't guaranteed. We sort of play by air and sort of wing it and it creates a bit of confusion, confusion for the opposition and we saw that last night and against Carlton and a few other games. So we'll continue doing that confusing the reigning premiers. Easier said than done but Collingwood is hurting a fresh groin injury consigning Jeremy How to the stands where he'll join Jamie Elliott.
