The Pressure's Still On for Adelaide, But History Is on Their Side The Crows' first finals victory in nine years has sent shockwaves through the AFL, but Brisbane Lions, the reigning premiers, have been given a serious wake up call after their stunning loss to Sydney Swans last weekend.
That defeat saw the Lions concede 36 scoring shots and six goals from centre bounce, leaving many wondering if they're starting to show cracks in their armor.
Brisbane's midfield, a key area of strength, was also caught out by Sydney's relentless pressure. The Crows, on the other hand, have been handed a free hit against a team still reeling from their loss.
