West Coast ambush Adelaide

West Coast have stunned Adelaide to ignite the final round of the AFL season, beating the hosts 100 to 71 to secure a home final.

The Crows self-destructed  on Friday night and threw away a golden pass to the grand final. Now bring on the reinvigorated West Coast Eagles.

Their sensational 29-point win at Adelaide Oval destroyed the fallacy they cannot win away from home, and suggests the Eagles are as good a chance as any to win the flag.

And no one could have imagined that it took Jonathan Giles, a third-string ruckman coming in for their star ruckman Nic Naitanui in just his third game of the season, to prove everyone wrong and lead this great victory.

The Crows are now likely to play an elimination final at home against North Melbourne, but beyond their finals campaign just got incredibly tougher.

Less than a month ago  West Coast coach Adam Simpson sat there bravely trying to convince us his Eagles weren't that bad, but we believe him now, and as ridiculous as it seemed then they will grab a top-four spot if either Hawthorn or GWS  lose this weekend.

Adelaide have  crashed out of the top four and probably grand final  contention with this poor performance – their worst for the season and they were lucky the Eagles missed so many easy attempts at goal.

Giles dominated the rucks and was strong around the ground to often give the Eagles first chance, and with a brilliant structure – players like Matthew Priddis in there fighting for the ball and handballing out to unattended teammates – it proved invaluable.

The Eagles were sharp from the opening bounce and with accuracy could have had four goals before the Crows looked like scoring. 

Adelaide missed chances too, which compounded the pressure. They struggled to get out of their backlines, kicked-and-hoped too often and lost control, and their skills level was surprisingly low. 

There was, however, a brilliant four-minute patch midway through the quarter with three inspiring goals, especially through the work of Taylor Walker. They finished the term with a goal from Eddie Betts, and of course the stadium erupted. "We're still a chance," the fans sighed as they stared at an 11-point deficit.

But the woes mounted, and when the Crows had a chance to do something special and get right back into the game, they handed the ball over.

We often talk about inspiring moments, but Adelaide just found ways to destroy themselves, like Walker missing a set shot and Mark LeCras goes downfield and goals. Jarryd Lyons trying to be a hero leaving Josh Jenkins alone in the goalsquare and misses while Jack Darling goals thanks to a 50-metre penalty.

It was ugly football by the Crows; the Eagles simply played like a top-four side. Nothing fancy, just hardened footy that wins finals. They really deserved this win.

We can talk a lot about the tough draw and the mid-week distractions, but there are no excuses for Adelaide. The Eagles had that will-to-win and produced quality when it was needed. They had a field of good players like Josh Kennedy who kicked inspiring goals and beat Daniel Talia like he has never been beaten before, Andrew Gaff and Luke Shuey were resilient, and a brilliant kid in Tom Barrass showed his rivals something special.

All this great play by the Eagles – and away from home. We should really respect them now.Â
