The Brisbane Lions have had a massive influence on Adelaide’s rebuild from struggler to top-four contender. Matt Turner compares the regeneration of both clubs.
The coach of the AFL’s reigning premiers has handed the in-form Adelaide Crows a massive compliment.
Adelaide is surging towards finals — and a potential premiership tilt. Fox Footy’s Garry Lyon delves into what’s changed to turn the Crows from an also-ran into one of the AFL’s most lethal sides.
One of Adelaide’s most talented players spent big chunks of his previous five-year deal on the sidelines. But now injury-free, this is a new Wayne Milera.
Adelaide blew its chances in the third quarter at the MCG – but did the Crows lose that game before it even started? Plus, Ollie Wines’ big admission and all the SA footy likes, dislikes.
Collingwood’s search for a Nathan Murphy replacement has been long and largely fruitless. Minus Darcy Moore, Jeremy Howe showed he can be the man to fill the Murphy void. Josh Barnes explains why.
Adelaide has now failed in its past 10 games against Collingwood – but it could have been a completely different story if it wasn’t for a costly third term. Here’s how it all unfolded.
It was the purported trade to Collingwood that had Adelaide supporters concerned. But the Crows fended off Mark Keane from the Magpies’ clutches. Go inside the negotiations here.
Wayne Milera revealed he had reached out to Willie Rioli last week, while also saying players should be more aware of the effects of sledges.
Crows fans were filthy that ‘Thilthy’ wasn’t crowned Showdown medallist on Saturday night, but Simeon Thomas-Wilson said he needed to do more. See that – plus the rest of his likes and dislikes – in The Lowdown.
Port Adelaide lost Showdown 57 but could it win the other battle in South Australia – the one for homegrown star Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera? We look at a potential trade from all angles.
The Crows weren’t at their best and found a way to win. Port dominated the key statistics but couldn’t capitalise. It’s why Showdown 57 was the epitome of two teams headed in different directions.
They had their opportunities to snatch a remarkable Showdown 57 comeback win – but, needing something miraculous, Ken Hinkley’s Port Adelaide were left agonisingly short.
