AFL Mid West round 11 wrap: Cripps and the Blues go down to the Giants
Northampton's Patrick Cripps and his Carlton side went down to GWS by 28-points at Marvel Stadium while the Eagles failed to fly in Adelaide in the of the AFL's Sir Doug Nicholls round. Round 11 was one of mixed fortunes for the AFL's Mid West talent, as the Cripps-led Blues continued their up-and-down form. On Saturday, the Blues drew first blood in the 15th minute mark of the first quarter through Charlie Curnow from outside 50, sparking Carlton into action as Cripps then went on to take a mark over the top of Giants' Toby Bedford which led to a well-executed goal. GWS bounced back through Toby Greene, the first of what would be a big day for Greene as the Giants got their contest under way. A high-scoring first term set the tone for the rest of the game. It was a goal-for-goal second term. GWS edged in front with goals through Callum Brown and Jake Riccardi pushing the Giants ahead going into the half-time break. The Giants pulled away in the third term and followed through to the final quarter as the Blues failed to convert in front of goal. A brief fightback from the Blues saw some momentum swing their way but it was short-lived as the Giants kicked ahead through Jesse Hogan. The Giants ran over the top of the Blues in the fourth quarter, with the final score GWS 17.8 (110) to Carlton 12.10 (82). Cripps was still one of the Blues' best with 25 disposals, one goal, seven tackles and eight clearances. Waalitj Marawar (West Coast) suffered a big loss when they came up against Kuwarna (Adelaide) at Adelaide Oval on Sunday. Tyler Brockman had a decent day out with 16 disposals and one goal while Liam Ryan struggled in front of goal with four behinds and collected 11 disposals. The Eagles held their own with the Crows going goal for goal in the first quarter, before Brockman kicked one from outside 50 in the second term to keep the Eagles in touch. The Crows kicked truly in front of goal in the second term applying constant pressure on the Eagles backs. It was a tale of two halves for the Eagles as the third quarter saw the Crows pull away. The Crows smashed the Eagles with relentless inside 50s. The onslaught continued in the final term as the home side ran away with it comfortably. In the end, the final score was Kuwarna 19.14 (128) to Waalitj Marawar 8.14 (62). Judd McVee and the Demons had an important win against the Swans at the MCG on Sunday. McVee shone bright with a solid performance amassing 21 disposals, 14 kicks and eight marks in what was a big win for Narrm at home. The Dees were ahead for the entire game as the Swans failed to make their way back into the game after the first term. It was all but over in the third as Narrm ran away with it, before piling on the goals in the final term, winning by 53 points 19.17 (131) to 12.6 (78).

Waalitj Marawar (West Coast) star Jake Waterman injured in heavy defeat to Kuwarna (Adelaide)
A shoulder injury to star forward Jake Waterman has rubbed salt into Waalitj Marawar's (West Coast's) wounds in a heavy 66-point defeat to Kuwarna (Adelaide) at Adelaide Oval on Sunday. Waterman had been one of the Eagles' best with three goals but the All-Australian forward was taken from the field holding his right shoulder after finding himself in the middle of a massive collision early in the final quarter. It came after the Eagles were ambushed by a ruthless Crows in the third term, the home side kicking seven goals to one to shake off the brave visitors and secure a 19.14 (128) to 8.14 (62) victory. The Eagles went into the game having lost their past eight games at the iconic South Australian venue, including a 99-point defeat 264 days prior. For more than a half of footy, Andrew McQualter's men gave the Crows a fight but ultimately the home side were able to make the scoreboard reflect the gap in class between the two outfits. Crows captain Jordan Dawson lifted his game in the third term when Kuwarna put the Eagles to the sword, finishing with 27 disposals, eight clearances, two goals and 11 inside 50s. Sam Berry relished his rare exposure to full midfield minutes with 26 disposals, four clearances and a goal, while prized recruit James Peatling (16 disposals and two goals) glided across the ground in an eye-catching performance. West Coast's day was epitomised by defender Reuben Ginbey who was incredibly brave – including taking an amazing mark back with the flight – but butchered the footy when given the chance. Their veterans who had been so staunch in the past fortnight looked tired as the toll of a gruelling season begins to take its toll already. The Eagles' undersized defence would've breathed a sigh of relief when the Crows withdrew former skipper Taylor Walker before the bounce. And then the reality of the monumental task ahead of them would've set in when Riley Thilthorpe (two goals) out-positioned two Eagles defenders to kick the first goal. Skill errors plagued the Eagles early at both ends of the ground as simple missed kicks left them exposed on the turnover and cost them early scoring opportunities. Oscar Allen (two goals) would've been the most frustrated man in South Australia, with the Eagles' co-captain beating his opponent on several occasions only for his teammates to be unable to find him on the lead. Promisingly, the visitors didn't let the mistakes discourage them and they maintained their strong pressure to create turnovers the other way and hit the scoreboard. They could've been in front had they been cleaner going forward, with the Crows taking an incredible nine intercept marks in the first term alone. And they didn't fix the issues at quarter time. Waalitj Marawar went from competitive to on top through the middle of the ground and it allowed them to dominate the territory battle. While they had 18 inside 50s for the term, for much of the quarter it looked as if their only goal would come courtesy of a lucky bounce from Tyler Brockman, who was trying to find Allen but overcooked the kick. At the other end Adelaide were efficient with their limited opportunities and held a 23-point lead when Thilthorpe kicked his second late in the term. Waterman kept the Eagles within touch when he converted a long-range set shot after the half-time siren, but they could've been a lot closer had their midfield-forward connection been better. The Crows was finally able to break the game open late in the third term, kicking five unanswered goals in a 13-minute ambush to blow the 17-point half-time lead out to 57 points at the last break. Waterman's unfortunate injury seemed to suck the life out of the contest as Josh closed the door on a miracle comeback when he ran into an unguarded goalsquare to kick his fourth of his five majors. Within 30 seconds the Eagles' day may have got worse with premiership defender Tom Cole limping from the ground with a potential ankle injury. Recruit Liam Baker may face scrutiny from the match review officer after pushing his elbow into the back of Peatling's head after giving away a free kick. KUWARNA 4.2, 8.5, 15.12, 19.14 (128) WAALITJ MARAWAR 3.2, 5.6, 6.9, 8.14 (62) Goals – KUWARNA: A Rachele 5 J Dawson 2 J Peatling 2 L Pedlar 2 R Thilthorpe 2 S Berry D Fogarty B Keays A Neal-Bullen R O'Brien I Rankine.

Huge blow for Eagles as Waterman hurt in Crows clash
Waalitj Marawar (West Coast) star Jake Waterman is set for a stint on the sidelines after hurting his shoulder against Kuwarna (Adelaide). Credit: James Elsby / AFL Photos Samantha Rogers The West Australian Waalitj Marawar (West Coast) star forward Jake Waterman could be set for a stint on the sidelines after hurting his shoulder against Kuwarna (Adelaide). Waterman was crunched in a marking contest in the fourth quarter at Adelaide Oval and was assisted from the field by medical staff clutching his right shoulder, which appeared dislocated. The 27-year-old had been one of the few bright spots for the Eagles on Sunday, kicking a team-high three goals as the Crows made light work of the bottom-placed side. Waterman has kicked 14 goals across seven games this season, after earning a maiden All-Australian selection with a career-high 53 goals last year. More to come.
