Match Report

Adelaide's slim hopes of making the top eight remain alive after the Crows overcame the early loss of Brent Reilly and a tenacious Gold Coast to record a comfortable win at Carrara on Saturday afternoon.

The match got off to the worst possible start for Brenton Sanderson's team with Brent Reilly forced to don the red vest after dislocating his shoulder in the very first minute of the match. But his replacement, Matthew Wright, became a key contributor for Adelaide, as the Crows went onto outlast the Suns by 28 points.

Reilly's early loss appeared to shake the Crows in the first quarter, and by the first change the Suns had established a 13-point lead. But an early second-term goal to Tom Lynch settled Adelaide, and they went on to kick seven majors for the term to the Suns' two and set up a 14-point half-time lead.

Gold Coast battled hard in the third quarter and closed the gap to just one point late in the piece but a goal to Lynch just before the last change saw the Crows with an eight-point buffer when the teams changed ends for the final time.

The Suns needed an early goal in the last term but it was Adelaide who attained it through skipper Nathan Van Berlo, to open the gap up to 14 points. The margin did not dip below that mark for the remainder of that match as the Crows coasted to a comfortable, if not convincing, win in the end.

Paddy Dangerfield (27 disposals and a goal) Brad Crouch (31 possessions) were magnificent for the Crows, with Wright's four goals also very important. The Suns were well served by another great game from Rising Star nominee Jaeger O'Meara (32 touches) and a brilliant performance from Dion Prestia, who had an amazing 42 touches and kicked two goals.

The Crows have a season-defining month ahead of them, with matches against West Coast, Collingwood, Geelong and Fremantle. They would probably have to win three of those four to remain a realistic chance of playing in September. The Suns, who are now virtually out of finals contention, will take on home-state rivals Brisbane at the 'Gabba next Saturday.
