The Crows Footy are a professional Australian rules football club based in Adelaide. They compete in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Adelaide had high aspirations going into 2022 season and were expected to compete for finals football, yet were plagued by injuries early on and lost several key players early. Although Adelaide finished outside of the top four positions, there were signs of improvement with three wins consecutively being recorded nearing season’s end.
Adelaide Crows reached their first Grand Final since 1992 when they lost to Richmond. This marked a turnaround after a poor year that saw premiership coach Malcolm Blight leave and Adelaide finish second on the ladder the following year.
At the planning stages of the club’s establishment, there was considerable debate as to whether its colors should mirror those of the city and/or one possible name choice – The Sharks was rejected due to copyright concerns.
Though initially faced with challenges, the club gradually established itself and gained in stature and popularity over time. In 2014, they were awarded a license to field an independent reserves men’s team in South Australian National Football League (SANFL) that enabled AFL-listed players to play when not representing Crows in AFL matches. Under this partnership known as Country Crows led by leading agriculture network Viterra they are sending past and current AFL/AFLW players out into regional communities to support non-match day events as well as host junior coaching clinics for junior coaching clinics for junior coaching clinics and support non match day events and host coaching clinics for junior coaching clinics for coaching clinics for junior coaching clinics.

The Crows are quick-witted, disruptive and boisterous; yet smarter and craftier than anyone. A found family that leans on each other without ever asking, The Crows know and care for one another as no other group can.
Adelaide will host an action-packed fan-friendly schedule in 2021, which features games against Geelong and Melbourne as well as Essendon, Richmond and Sydney on Friday nights – as well as hosting Port Adelaide for their first Showdown at night game ever.
Port Adelaide struggled to convert their early dominance against Adelaide into goals, finishing a disappointing +1 for inside-50s but failing to make an impressionful impactful statement on the scoreboard. Their captain Connor Rozee, however, will hope for better comeback performance following his hamstring tightness at three quarter time and was taken out as a result.
Crows Footy,In 2024, the club marked its centennial by creating a commemorative guernsey featuring sergeant rank insignia with two soldiers sporting bugles and wearing bugle-shaped badges. This set the trend for future years – with variations reminiscent of this theme being worn frequently on subsequent games by all teams as well as more minimalist home jerseys without white strokes in numbers being adopted for home use.

Through this partnership, past and present AFL and AFLW players will travel to regional clubs for match days, non-match day events, junior coaching clinics as well as coaching clinics for junior players. In addition, Viterra agriculture network is helping add value to rural communities with activities like hosting AFL Country Crows matches as well as offering membership packages.
Crows Footy,Adelaide had an improved 2023 campaign than their predecessors, finishing 10th and winning their opening game of the finals series against cross-town rival Power. Rory Laird’s return to form saw him finish fifth in Coleman Medal voting and provide Adelaide a boost.
Adelaide Oval, home of the Adelaide Crows Footy, is one of the best stadiums in Australia, accommodating between 23,000 and over 60,000 fans. As one of the first AFL clubs to surpass 40,000 members until Collingwood passed them in 2009, Adelaide Oval serves as an official song sung to the tune of the US Marines Hymn.
