Adelaide won the possession count 40-19 in the first eight minutes of the quarter and used the weight of possession to boot the first four goals of the term.  The Crows also had 11 straight inside 50's in this time.

Turnovers hurt the Bombers early in the term.  Midway through the second term the Crows had taken eight intercept marks in the midfield.

Sam Jacobs injured his ankle for the Crows.  The injury forced the Crows to move Josh Jenkins into the ruck.

Essendon made its forward entries count.  From its first three, the side booted two goals.

The Bombers are using Adam Cooney and Brendon Goddard to steady the ship in defence.  Cooney took four marks in the first 12 minutes of the term.

After starting in attack, Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti has been moved to defence and is playing on Eddie Betts.

Goddard (16), Cooney (15) and Zach Merrett (14) are the leading ball winners.
