Two sides of the Adelaide Football Club show themselves in the aftermath of a 62-point elimination final thrashing of North Melbourne on Saturday night.First there is respect: in the form of a guard of honour for the quartet of retiring Kangaroos, led dolefully off Adelaide Oval by the AFLs games record holder Brent Harvey.Later, there is ambition: the team song sung in recognition of a finals victory to advance the Crows to the same staging post they reached in 2015 is a rather flat rendition, reeking of the sense that more remains to be done. A bad game against West Coast in the last minor round tipped Adelaide out of the top four, but it did not dent the belief that this team is capable of much more.Weve touched on that already as a group, said Tom Lynch, a key man in the Crows formidable forward line and kicker of four goals on Saturday night. We want big things this year and this is just the first box weve been able to tick but weve got three more games hopefully to win.That [Eagles] game was really disappointing, it was really not our way. Sometimes after those games you just want to get out there straight away. It was great to have a six-day break but we just had the bye and it probably made us think about it a bit more, but to the boys credit we were able to put that behind us and focus on this week and put on a pretty good performance.We had some proud guys who were disappointed the way they played individually, but as a collective as well. We were able to rectify that, weve been able to bounce back from most of our losses this year and have good wins. Hopefully we can get on a bit of a roll now and have an impact.The Crows were heavily favoured to beat North Melbourne with good reason - the Kangaroos had limped into the finals, and the Adelaide deficiencies exposed by West Coast were unlikely to be tested by a team with so few recent wins behind them. But they took their time to find fluency: big advantages in possession and forward entries were offset by indifferent kicking for goal, and enough turnovers to mean the game was overmuch in the balance at halftime.Finals footy is always about contests and pressure, said Lynch, and thats what we base our game on and turning the ball over. At times we wished wed kicked a little straighter but most of those shots were long shots, so it wasnt like we were inaccurate and missing easy goals.Well have to look at that and address how we can get some deep entries. When we needed to put the foot down we were able to tonight, but theyre a quality side and to their credit they were able to keep working hard in the contest. When the arm wrestle was in play we were just able to hold them at bay a bit more than they were for us.Over time, Adelaide found their range. Forward entries did get deeper, shots on goal were more precise, and the Adelaide Oval faithful found their most raucous voice to send their team hurtling towards Sydney with plenty of momentum.Lynch and the rest of the forward line ended the night looking threatening once more, not the thwarted combination restricted to 10.11 by the Eagles. A final tally of 21.15 was near enough to twice as good. This was as much down to team play as individual heroics, though Eddie Betts six goals were as memorable as ever.Thats a strength of our whole forward line, guys are really trying to bring others into the game and a really unselfish group, Lynch said. To play in that front six or anywhere on the ground thats the mindset youve to have otherwise you just dont fit in.Tex [Taylor Walker] and Eddie had great nights, Josh Jenkins competed really hard as did Mitch McGovern and Charlie Cameron was electric - those guys all played their role and made sure when it was their moment to step up they were able to do so.How much this was to do with the pre-finals bye is a question still swirling. Certainly Kyle Cheney and Luke Brown were better for the week off. But in the considered opinion of the coach Don Pyke the break had offered another important edge for his men - the chance to train with both quality and quantity, at a time of the year when injury management and recovery schedules can impact skills and team patterns.We had opportunities to have four really good sessions with our guys, Pyke said. Off the two six-day breaks we had, they dont allow you the opportunity to train too much. The last two weeks weve had some really good training.Its like a cricketer going out to bat, he wants to be in the nets and hitting balls so hes confident he can do it. Our guys like to be able to train so we can train the things we need to work on and take confidence from that in the games. The two weeks gave us an opportunity to do that.The cricket metaphor was apt for a club now overmuch at home on Adelaide Oval. To go any further in this finals series the Crows will need to play straight and punish the loose balls at the SCG, against a chastened Sydney Swans. That match will provide another chance to measure the club in terms of respect and ambition. Nike Air Vapormax For Sale .
