But to come here in front of an Adelaide crowd, Adelaide stadium, very proud of the effort we put in.” “We’re very proud of the effort we showed today. Theatrics may win you a penalty but they are a blight on the game. “You are trying to go for the ball, but you’ve clearly got it wrong and struck someone directly in the face. But it a poor advert for the game. It’s just about consistently performing and that’s probably our biggest challenge now is to back that effort up next week in Sydney.
