Adelaide defender Alex Keath has earned his second AFL.com.au Team of the Week nomination this season after a standout performance in his side’s 29-point win over St Kilda.
Although Keath only has 18 AFL games to his name, he has been a revelation in the Crows defence in 2019. Against the Saints, he finished with 21 disposals at 91 per cent efficiency to go with a game-high 14 marks.
Keath is joined in the Round Six Team of the Week by teammates Rory Laird and co-captain Taylor Walker.
Laird finished with a season-high 33 disposals (10 contested possessions) and three goal assists against the Saints.
Walker booted four goals from 14 disposals and seven marks, three of which were contested. He also had six inside 50s and a goal assist.
Adelaide had three representatives in the side for the first time this year, an equal-high for Round Six with Hawthorn and Greater Western Sydney.
