Adelaide Crows 74, Collingwood 108 — the first scoreboard, the one you already have. Below is the second: the 50 funnel, how each side turned the ball going forward into a scoreboard — inside 50s, then marks inside 50, then scoring shots, then the goals that count. It is where this game was actually decided.
This one was won up the ground, not at the goalface. Collingwood tilted the territory 49 inside 50s to 47, and turned it into 33 scoring shots to 23 — chances at a rate Adelaide Crows could not match. The second scoreboard and the first agree here; what the second one adds is *where* the game was won, which is a long way before the last kick.
