Let's get a little crazy. Let's have some fun.
Yeah I lost count of how many times Crows players dropped the ball incorrectly but somehow the umpires somehow conspired to keep Adelaide in it.

Not as many times as the swans key defenders applied a wrap-around tackle and arm chop/pull to our forwards as soon as the ball left a midfielders boot. No wonder Rampe doesn't concede goals, he's never played within the rules and he never gets pinged for it because "bloods toughness"

Just realised last night's match continues the trend of this season having the most matches ever decided by a margin of three points or less. How many is it now, and what was the previous record?

I can't say off the top of my head but it's certainly the most for a goal or less as well (although a lot more games this season than say 1928). Previous record was 2005.

Caleb Daniel had his helmet ripped off in a tackled and it was holding the ball against him.

Also Razor Ray got taken out by Hartlett (?), so all is well.

Eagles have played well but not amazing, and are some of the worst finishers in the comp, wouldn't be surprised if they lost by 5 goals from here

If the best team in the comp can't deal with WCE away then they're highly likely to finish in 5th or 6th, or will need to defeat Geelong at the cattery to stay in the top 4, because Port and Sydney have easy opponents and better percentage, and Richmond has equal points and an easier opponent (provided they don't balls up against Freo tomorrow)
