So, we beat Adelaide by 48 points but, apparently, they're rubbish and we should have beaten them by more :
Yes, Adelaide have only beaten Port Adelaide, Richmond and Footscray; teams that have had our measure until this season. Adelaide only lost to Fremantle by one point and Freo gave us a bit of a touch up. They may have had a few players out but, as someone pointed out, we began the week with one quarter of our list out with injury. The thing is, you can only play against the opposition that runs out on the park and we did that convincingly. Adelaide may have outscored us in the last quarter but they didn't outplay us.
In our other games this season the gulf between our better players and those who struggle to have an an impact has been obvious. That wasn't the case yesterday with solid contributions from everyone apart from the injured Martin. As LP pointed out, players like Silvagni, Newman, Weitering, Young, Fisher, Carroll and Walsh played very well but won't appear in the votes. It was the most even, four quarter performance we've produced for quite a while, and I'm happy with that
