Crows get home after almighty Tigers scare in the wet
Izak Rankine stars as Adelaide manages to get the job done against Richmond in torrential rain at Adelaide Oval.
The Adelaide Crows secured a 63-point victory over the Richmond Tigers in a rain-soaked match at Adelaide Oval. Despite the challenging conditions, coach Matthew Nicks highlighted the significance of the win, stating that even if the team wasn't at their best, they still achieved the necessary points. Nicks also mentioned that some players might need to improve to secure a better spot in the finals.
Key players returning from suspensions and injuries include Darcy Fogarty, Lachlan McAndrew, James Borlase, and Luke Nankervis. The Crows, currently fifth with 56 premiership points, narrowly missed out on taking fourth place from Brisbane, who sits two percentage points ahead. The win, however, left Adelaide short of a significant victory that would have secured fourth spot.
The game's outcome will be crucial for the Crows as they aim to secure a top-four finish for the finals.
