Richmond assistant coach Ben Rutten provides ‘Roar Vision’ with a snapshot of Adelaide’s main on-field attributes ahead of Saturday’s Grand Final at the MCG.

‘Tex’ Walker’s significant impact in attack

“He’s got a real presence about him . . . He demands the ball, and his teammates around him really feed off him. So that’s his biggest strength, as much as anything . . . His ability to hit up through centre half-forward is important to their attack. He’s a pinpoint kick, but he’s also got good range on his lead.”

Overall powerful offensive unit

“They’ve got attacking weapons all throughout the ground . . . Right from the start last week, their ability to pressure, and create scores from Geelong’s turnovers, was first class . . . They have such a dynamic forward line, and they all provide something slightly different.”

Importance of protecting the ball to ensure it’s not turned over

“Our defence and our attack are going to be pretty closely linked.”

Elite pressure applied by star small forwards Betts and Cameron

“Their ability to stalk and predict is as good as any I’ve seen.”

Lynch’s importance as a link player

“He really covers the ground well and predicts which side Adelaide are going to move the ball out of their defensive 50. So he’s an important link man from their defenders into their attack.”

Crouch brothers’ key midfield influence

“Matt’s really good inside the contest, and I think the possession rate of the two Crouches, over the last few weeks, has been as high as any.”

Sloane’s strong two-way running

“He really values defence and he’ll work back to support their backline.”
