After the massive brawl from the Adelaide fans and the stopping of the game we are back to replay this game. Its a freezing 5 degrees here at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, I'm Mark Spencer and i have Jack Jones along side me with Brad Harris on the boundary line. The players come on and the Unicorns banner reads "Round one is a clash as we will smash the Crows" The RADeliade banner reads "Unicorns are gay", I like it Mark, straight to the point. Cassisi won the toss and will kick with the light breeze to the Punt Road end.
Unicorns 6.3.39 vs RADelaide Crows 5.7.37 Code: Disposoals: 11. J.Westoff 12. S.Fisher 9. D.Glass 9. S.Thompson 8. L.Gilbee 7. D.Swan Goals: 3.2 S.Stevens 2.0 M.Rischitelli 1.0 A.Monfries 1.1 D.Hale 1.1 C.Stiller 1.0 M.Stokes Its a close battle here, The Crows got some great running play with Gilbee from the back line and Stevens is on top of Cornes.
This is where it will come down to, the class and run of the Crows could turn this game around. But the effectiveness and the skill of the Unicorns could make it there.
Injury Matthew Stokes - Cork Thigh. We'll head down to Brad, "well he is up and running, looks like Stokes will shake it off and get back on the field.
Stokes and Egan will settle the scoring for the Unicorns are a few missed shots and some Crows goals.
Obviously giving him too much attention. Let him play loose man and he won't touch the ball. All 4 of his goals have been freekicks I heard.

Cornes has been booked for Charging on Skipworth...this will be interesting to see what the panel decides knowing Cornes History. Skipworth will put the Crows in front after that free.
