What must happen to end McLeod’s ‘sad’ fallout with Crows
Five years after a highly-publicised falling out, one of the Crows’ greatest players is still estranged from the club. And though work is being done, there’s still a long way to go.

Zak Butters hasn’t put a timeline on his looming contract call, but the Port Adelaide superstar says only one factor will decide whether he remains at the Power beyond 2026.
The Power went hunting for ruck talent two years ago and found Jordan Sweet and Ivan Soldo. But with one subbed off and one in the SANFL on the weekend – where to from here?
After two gritty victories kept them within arm’s length of the top eight, Port looked very much like a side that was 6-8, with Ken Hinkley’s final year appearing to be heading nowhere good.
He was a whipping boy at Geelong and again when he moved to the Power, but Esava Ratugolea is proving he has the chops to be a top-line defender.
The Power is right in the race for Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera’s signature, but Matt Turner writes convincing Miles Bergman to re-sign could be a higher priority – and Sunday’s win showed why.
Just three years ago, Joe Richards was playing country footy in Wangaratta, working as teacher’s aide. On Sunday, he plays game 21 at his second AFL club. The 25-year-old opens up on the ride.
Genuine top four hopes don’t let chances to beat the top teams on their home decks slip away, but the Crows have made a habit of it in recent years. So what does that mean for Adelaide’s flag credentials?
Adelaide’s forwards or midfielders have got much of the credit for the club’s rise up the ladder. But stunning statistics show how the Crows’ low-profiled defensive unit has become an AFL leader.
Taylor Walker’s 2021 racism incident was back in the spotlight this week amid reports around Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera’s future – now Crows coach Matthew Nicks has had his say.
