AFL Media’s Sarah Black looks over our 2019 AFLW fixture.

Home: Round one vs Western Bulldogs (Norwood Oval), round three vs Geelong (Norwood Oval), round four vs Fremantle (TIO Stadium Darwin), round six vs Greater Western Sydney (Unley Oval)

Away: Round two vs Carlton (Ikon Park), round five vs North Melbourne (Chirnside Park), round seven vs Melbourne (Casey Fields)

Cross-over games: Carlton, Geelong, Greater Western Sydney

Don't play: Brisbane, Collingwood

Adelaide has one of the best ‘travel’ draws of the clubs outside Victoria. The Crows have one game in Darwin (part of the alignment with the Northern Territory, meaning it counts as a home game), and all three of their away games in Melbourne.

We won't get to see a 2017 Grand Final rematch, with Brisbane not on the radar. The Crows will also dodge the Magpies, who they lost to in an upset at the end of last season to deny them a Grand Final berth.

Adelaide plays on the opening night of the season following the Geelong-Collingwood game, with a match against Western Bulldogs at Norwood Oval. The two played in 2018 and produced one of the games of the season.

The Crows have done well with their cross-over matches, drawing the wooden-spooners of the past two years, Carlton and Greater Western Sydney, and new team Geelong.

Verdict: A very friendly draw for Adelaide, which will be desperate to avoid last season's slow start that ultimately cost it the chance to defend its 2017 premiership.
