First Game Highlights: Crows v Hawks 1991

[@eebzzub]

Dear AFL, please note: Commentators in 1991 were *still* talking about Holding the Ball as a "very contentious rule/interpretation...."

Still are to this day

Welcome to the afl Adelaide crows.

[@pcorf]

Our crowds were deafening in the early years. Amazing!

[@kneheeergerrers]

Ha, Darren Jarman was in the first team to play the Crows and ended up in the Crows.

[@mattmcmanus3693]

Same too with Gary Ayres he played for Hawthorn in this match against his soon to be eventual club Adelaide and nine years later he became coach of Adelaide

What a great memory. I nearly went deaf that night. What a crowd.

[@benjaminparkinson5255]

Shocking night for the Hawks, one of those were nothing went right...but they came back Big Time to win the flag that year !

[@skaterboy12rara]

Gotta love the old crows! no matter how they are these days never gonna give up on them!

[@Holden308]

I'll admit to being a Bombers fan (have been since the early 80s, no need to change) but the only time I don't support The Crows is when they play Essendon.

I went for the crows as a kid in the early 2000's. Now I'm a hawks supporter (also living in SA) but still love a couple of other teams.
