Your view: Hawks, Crows finals hopes
Walker with a clutch goal
Rankine turned provider winning the ball just outside the 50m arc and he found Walker in space.
The veteran went back and kicked the goal. That’s the experience gained from 297 AFL games.
Now do the Hawks have anything left to respond?

Rankine with some magic
Izak Rankine has gone deep into his bag of tricks, snapping a goal from tight on the boundary despite pressure from the Hawks defenders.
“This is just genius,” Garry Lyon said on Fox Footy.
What a finish we have about to play out here.
Crows 89, Hawks 84 with 10 mins to play.
The Hawks are in front – again!
Jack Gunston has kicked his fourth goal after winning a free kick on Mark Keane and then being awarded a 50-metre penalty when the remonstrations went too far.
Keane is fuming but he clearly grabbed his arm.
Crows fans will argue that Mitch Lewis played on and missed his shot, but the whistle had gone and stopped play.

Gunston strikes again
Jack Gunston kicked two goals early, and now he has a third with just 12 minutes left in the game.
He won a free kick for being held in a marking contest. The Crows didn’t like it, but it looked a fair call.
Game on.
Crows 83, Hawks 78 with 12 mins to go.
Hawks fume as Rankine gifted a goal
The ball was touched, Izak Rankine looked to mark the ball then looked to play on – the umpires were slow to call anything and the Hawks defenders moved with Rankine.
That saw a 50-metre penalty called. Now the Crows’ lead has grown.

James Sicily is fuming. He keeps pointing to his ears, but it won’t change anything.
Crows 83, Hawks 71 with 13 mins to play.
The Crows are in front
The Crows are right in their groove now and they found Darcy Fogarty at centre-half forward. He pushed off Josh Battle and chipped the ball over the top to Jake Soligo, who ran into the open goal and put his club in front.
That’s inspired work from the Crows, and now the Hawks need a response.
Crows 76, Hawks 71 with 15 mins to play.
Analysis: The Crows need to lift in this final term
Dan Curtin has started the fourth quarter in the middle on Jai Newcombe for a rare centre-bounce attendance for Adelaide.
Izak Rankine is also in the guts, on red-hot Hawthorn star Will Day.
The Crows need a huge lift in the middle after lowering their colours in the engine room in the third term, and they also need to stop the Hawks’ rampant intercepting game behind the footy.
Neal-Bullen strikes for Crows
Alex Neal-Bullen continues his victory tour with the Crows, taking a diving mark and then going back and booting the goal.
Let’s see if the Hawks have an immediate response in them.
Hawks 71, Crows 70 with 17 mins left to play.
Three-quarter-time stats
3QT: Hawthorn 11.5 (71) to Adelaide 9.9 (63)
The Hawks bounced back that term as Will Day, James Sicily and then Jack Ginnivan took centre stage.
But we know from the first half that the Crows have the talent to bounce back. You almost expect it.
