‘Got to pray for Sam Taylor’: Crows bank on Giant’s ‘magic’ as Tex looks to end 26yr drought
Teammate Lachlan Murphy said the boys would be rallying around Giants defender Sam Taylor – who is arguably the best backman in the competition – to stop Curnow on Sunday.“He’s had a fanatic year the Texan.“For him to still be our leader without being the captain in the forward line especially, I still pinch myself to play with him.Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks was full of praise for his big forward, who had a whopping 19 shots on goal against the Eagles.
While Walker’s nine goals in the final round win was a bright spark for the Crows, Murphy admitted the season had been disappointing. “We didn’t get what we wanted with the season, but to be able to finish on that note … come back with a bit of fire in the belly next year,” he said. “We spoke about starting fresh away and really using this game to kick start our next season, so to be able to come away with the win is something we’re really proud of.We basically just said if everyone can improve one or two per cent over the break … we can come back and hit the ground running .“The game gives you nothing – we might think we deserve finals but we’ve got to go back and work our arse off.“Next year everyone starts zero and zero, and we’ve got to work our arse off again.
