From the papers[]
The Age[]
"The Eagles led by 10 points at quarter-time, but the Crows fought back to earn a break at the final change.
McDermott and McGuinness each gathered more than 30 possessions, while Rehn's 21 touches around the field were complemented by 10 marks and complete dominance over Ryan Turnbull and Jason Ball.
Adelaide's form slip of the past two months has been reflected in the demise of full-forward Tony Modra, but the Crows had a surprise for the Eagles in the form of third-gamer Matthew Kluzek.
Kluzek kicked five goals on the accomplished Chris Waterman, while Anthony Ingerson have Glen Jakovich the run-around at centre half-forward."[1]
Canberra Times[]
"The visitors applied constant pressure to the wilting Crows late in the final quarter but the desperate Crows, in a match they had to win, held on valiantly.
Star for the Crows was rookie Matthew Kluzek, who finished with five goals, all at crucial times.
Adelaide's defence was tested to the limits in the final term as the Eagles made up an 11-point deficit and had two chances to tie the game in the dying stages.
Eagles full-forward Peter Sumich and Peter Matera both missed to give the Crows victory and keep their finals hopes alive."[2]
