Australian Football League

Adelaide Crows defeated North Melbourne Kangaroos in the Grand Final. North were the hot favourites to take the title, and they had a good chance when they easily lead at half time. However Adelaide rallied to play some good football finishing 30 points in front. Both teams had the same amount of scoring shots, however the roos were very inaccurate which include 11 behinds in the second quarter.
