One positive and one negative from your club s Round 17 performance
By
It was a big round of footy and there were important storylines across the weekend.
We have selected one positive and one negative from the Round 17 performance of each of the 18 clubs.
See our thoughts below:
Positive: Schoenberg shows up
There weren’t many Adelaide players who could hold their head high after the lacklustre 63-point loss to Essendon.
One Crow who did his bit was youngster Harry Schoenberg.
In just his 23rd game, the 20-year-old was one of only a few who led the way with 20 disposals and a team-high seven tackles, four clearances and one of his side’s two goals.

Of course this round was going to up-end the calculations surrounding the top eight.
With Sydney closed to the AFL due to COVID, we had the Crows feasted upon, the Blues butchering the ball, the Saints surging and the Power petering out.
18. The Adelaide Crows (down two)
I may be writing this on Saturday morning, but I think a historically low score from the Crows warrants them going down to the bottom of the ladder. They were atrocious, there’s no sugar-coating for the Crows fans in the ground. The Crows were more like the carrion their namesakes feast upon. They were lucky that it was only 63 points, as a more clinical side would have destroyed them. Matthew Nicks was left with more questions than answers as his side was petrified against the Essendon surge.
