Crows defender Alex Keath has earned a call-up to the AFL Team of the Week after a strong performance against North Melbourne in Round Four.

Despite Adelaide losing by 12 points at Marvel Stadium on Saturday, Keath managed 20 disposals, eight contested possessions and five rebound-50s.

The tall defender also grabbed a game-high 14 marks - five more than the next highest Crows player (Rory Laird with nine).

The 27-year-old is enjoying a break-out start to the season and has played every game in 2019.
