Both teams decimated by injuries.  The good news is I don't have to watch Tiatto, but I do have to sit through the Adelaide 12 year olds doing 'you're sh*t, ahhhh'

14 - Cassio free kick... huge run up, lot's of hype, and wider than a Ferrante sitter (sorry Michael, I really do love your work).

19 - McKay elbows Burns in the head.  Be interesting if that sees any more focus than the much worse one from Laybutt on George.  My bet ? yes.

22 - Queensland corner.  Moore whining for a penalty, no chance.

Queensland the best chances so far, Adelaide missing in the top end.

23 - Galekovic slips over and Reinaldo somehow manages to head it the wrong way, deflects to Ognenovski and somehow Galekovic gets his legs in the way.

Who'd win in a fight out of Tiatto and Laybutt?

Yeah hes a sizeable bastard. Jonas Selly looks like the end product of the guy Shane Cameron is  fighting (Friday Ahuhugrub) after he has entered the biggest loser.

He used to look angrier with the short dreads he had at the Knights, or maybe it was the Black strip just made him look more frightening.

Do you think Zullo and Kruse join in with the chanting? I swear they can't be older than that. And are we sure that they are male? (especially Kruse)

36 - Craig Moore, the man so badly wronged by the officials in round one cleans out Burns in a pretty disgraceful challenge, gets a yellow.

Then a Reddy clearance flies in to the Adelaide half and Zullo gets through, but shoots wide of the far post from a very tight angle.

I'd love to see someone actually clog Cruse.  Breath near him and he collapses... I'd like to see someone launch him just to feel like he earned a decision.

40 - Cassio looks like the player the hype would have you believe.  Played in by hois own run and a neat 1-2 with Giraldi, last ditch tackle saves the Clogs.

Resultant corner, Cornthwaite free, but O Noes... it's at his feet... wide, well wide.

That's the half... that 4 goal a game average is looking highly unlikely.

Cameron down and out in the 12th, look forward to seeing just how smashed his face is in the news tomorrow. What an average game of footy...

Thats quite a cool tool- measures the speed the ball comes off the boot at (last shot that was miss hit went off at 71km). Is it just a new thing? Anyone seen it used before?

Yeah, pretty sure it was around last year.  Usually at the half they have one first half goal they use it on.  Have not seen it as much this season.

Ohhh... close - 47 Adelaide, great corner.  Needed a bit more on it from Salley's head.

Adelaide look, as Constanzo said, tired. No spark in this game at all.

What are the odds on Reinaldo actually scoring? Reckon about the same as Zullo and Cruse actually having had their balls drop?

Burns gives Zullo a stamp, apparently 'not in his nature'.  Looked f**king cynical to me...  the commentators love of certain 'golden boys' is pretty tiresome.

If Muscat had done that the howls of anguish would be heard all over Australia.

You know it is an unexciting game of footy when you spend the first 57 minutes talking about what the players look like. Is Reinaldo EVER going to score?!?!

Great opportunity for Reinaldo, one on one, drills it straight at the keeper.
Roar 9 shots
Adelaide 3.

That's one helluva goal from Reinaldo - 16 yards out RHS and volleys it into the roof of the net.

Roar 1-0.

Deserved too, Adelaide have been mud.

OK I'll shut up, Reinaldo scores an absolute rocket. Kruse heads to Reinaldo, who drills it from an angle from 15 yards. Fantastic shot. 1-0 Queensland after 64.

Cameron outclassed. Hands too low, couldn't compete with a good quick counterpuncher with an uppercut that'd take your head off

It'd have been interesting to see how the count would have gone had Cameron managed to survive the twelth. He probably got the points for most of the first six then got owned for the rest of it- had it gone the full length it would have been undeservedly close in points. How slippery was the ring though? What crap material to box on.
 
Adelaide good chance off set piece. Cassio cracking shot from 35 or so, parried by keeper. 78 gone.

very true. Cameron's punches just weren't getting through in the last half

Adelaide miss a free header, put it wide. Sorry missed who it was. 86 min.

Final score 1-0 away win to Queensland. Adelaide looked nothing on what they were last week. Conditions were pretty poor, a lot of rain, the Roar deservedly took it out. Rubbish game of footy to tell the truth. I guess not what the Nix wanted, but not too worried- hopefully we can emulate the roar and take an away win! CMON YOU NIX!!!!!!
