Limited-time offer. ADELAIDE CROWS It wasn’t the slickest of wins by any stretch of the imagination, but Matthew Nicks’ side are 3-0 for the first time since 2017.

The extent of Josh Rachele’s rib injury may force a change for this weekend, but for now, West Lakes continues to be as settled as they have been for a long time. IN THE VOTES Jake Soligo (28 disposals, nine inside 50s, six clearances, one goal) was absolutely everywhere for Adelaide on Sunday, and simply couldn’t be stopped by North’s midfield. Similarly, Izak Rankine (30 disposals, eight clearances, 541 metres gained) had plenty of the ball — albeit didn’t use it as well as Soligo.
Veteran star Taylor Walker (14 disposals, four goals, nine score involvements) would be unlucky to not pick up a vote, having run riot on the Kanga.
