The end as we know it

The season came to a crashing halt against the Hawks. I didn’t bother to write about it for a long time because the pain still lingered quite some time after these tragic events occured.

Adelaide played well but poor decision making in the final few minutes cost us a chance to continue challenging for the premiership. In the end it proved to be a fair reflection of a very inconsistant season.

Club legend Mark Ricciuto played his last ever AFL match and managed to break Ben Hart’s games record for the club. It’s a shame he wasn’t able to put more of a stamp on the game against the Hawks but he bows out as one of the best ever Crows, if not the best. He was easily the best captain. The man put his heart and soul into the AFC guernsey. He bled the primary colours. One can only hope that in the coming years he will find himself in a coaching role at the club.No doubt that the Roo would be an impressive forward or midfield coach, and then perhaps somewhere down the line a premiership winning senior coach. Let’s hope the man has a couple of sons!
