Adelaide Crows premiership star Darren Jarman says his old club has its best chance to win a flag since the Malcolm Blight era.
“They can kick 20 goals on the bit, their scoring power is elite — and that’s what makes them so dangerous in the finals,” Jarman told The Advertiser.
“I just love how attacking they are and how many goalscoring options they have.
“The secret to winning big finals is being able to score heavily and Adelaide’s forward line is so potent and so well put together that it’s a case of if one doesn’t get you another one will.
“Being able to kick winning scores in finals is the secret.
“That’s why Hawthorn was able to win so many flags from 2008 to 2015. They couldn’t be stopped from scoring.
“They had the same attacking philosophy that we had at the Crows when Blight was coach and Pyke’s team is the same.
“Blighty’s philosophy was 21 goals beats 20 and it doesn’t matter how many the opposition kick as long as you kick more.”
