A great crowd turned out at Mount Barker to watch the two South Australian teams lock horns in a Mini-Showdown a couple of weeks out from the AFL season, and if you’re a fan of the Crows, you would have been pretty content with what you saw.
In a six-period game (we’re mainly covering the first four), the Crows used a second-period blast to put distance between them and the Power, kicking six goals against the wind to stamp their authority on the contest.
Port came in with a pretty suspect defence, with Aliir Aliir the lone established “big” back there, and the Crows took little time in exposing them. Riley Thilthorpse snagged a couple of early ones, and Tex bobbed up, as well.
