Adelaide Crows coach Brenton Sanderson says his team was blown off the park in the second half.
ADELAIDE ruckman Sam Jacobs has conceded a dose of frustration has crept in among the Crows but is confident their good passages of play mean the game plan is still sound.
The Crows have been up and down all season — beginning with three straight losses but then recovering — and hit another snag when they lost to Fremantle last week.
It has left the club in a group of teams fighting for a top-eight spot and, as much as Jacobs said there had been no panic around West Lakes, the Crows players were getting edgy.

"As the supporters are, the players are frustrated as well," Jacobs said. "We're working overtime to make sure that we get the most out of our sessions.
"At the moment, that's where the frustration comes from because we are training really well and at a really high standard during the week.
"But for whatever reason, we're not producing it ... at the moment it's every second week.
"We are trying to change things ... there are things about our performance that need to change.
"But training was really upbeat again as it has been all week.
"We had a really good session today and we're well prepared and ready for the Kangaroos."
