The Adelaide Crows showcased a commanding performance as they roared to victory against the West Coast Eagles in a pre-season clash held at Richmond Oval. The match, filled with blistering plays and outstanding performances, saw the Crows dominate throughout, leaving the Eagles struggling to keep up with their pace and precision.
Commentary from renowned AFL figure Jordan Lewis highlighted the Crows’ superiority in the ruck and their overall dominance on the field, setting the tone for their performance. The match began with a flurry of goals from Adelaide, establishing an early lead that they would maintain for the duration of the game.
Standout players for the Crows included Sam Berry, who delivered a strong performance, earning praise from Adelaide legend Mark Ricciuto who dubbed him the team’s ‘forgotten midfielder’.
