Today my list analysis and offseason preview series continues with the Adelaide Crows, a team who I tipped for the flag this year (d’oh!) but, like most of my pre-season premiership tips, went on to miss finals entirely.
Every team wants to be great, most will realistically settle for good. But it’s OK to be mediocre, or even bad, as long as there’s light at the end of the tunnel and you have a plan to get there.
For ten AFL clubs the 2019 season is officially over and the reviews, planning and cleanout is well underway in preparation for the 2020 season, and while there is still plenty of activity to be played out, we can already access some of the impacts on the club’s elite 100 players.
The Western Bulldogs look to seal their position for September at Mars Stadium as they come up against a similarly wrought Adelaide Crows on Sunday. Join The Roar for live scores and coverage from 1:10pm (AEST).
Eighth spot on the AFL ladder can reflect a side that is in team-building purgatory.
Match result: Collingwood have walloped the Crows by 11 goals to keep themselves in the conversation for a top four spot, and likely bring to an end Adelaide’s hopes of playing finals.
Match result: The West Coast Eagles have survived an almightly scare from the Adelaide Crows to win by ten points in the final match of Round 21.
Match result: Adelaide’s victory wasn’t all their own way, but they did enough in the end against an admirable St Kilda outfit, victorious by 22 points.

The Adelaide Crows will have to do away with their own past in the fight to retain future stars Alex Keath and Hugh Greenwood.
After winning the minor premiership in 2017 and entering that year’s grand final as favourites, precious little has gone right for the Adelaide Crows.
Tuesday is podcast day here at The Roar, with episode 31 of our Game of Codes podcast breaking down another big weekend in the wonderful world of sport.
The pressure is rising on Adelaide coach Don Pyke following four losses from his past five AFL games.
Four weeks ago, this game would have been ticked off as an easy four points for the Crows but – if a week is a long time in football, four weeks is an eternity.
Match result: The Bombers took the game by 21 after a brilliant second half that reversed a five-goal deficit in the second quarter.
This should be a fun one. Perhaps not pretty, but these are two decent and evenly matched teams with plenty to play for.
With only six rounds left in the home-and-away season, Friday night’s clash at Adelaide Oval between two genuine finals contenders takes on special significance.
