While Adelaide couldn’t match it for four quarters with top-of-the-table Richmond on Friday night at the MCG, there were some positives from an individual perspective.
Vice-captain Rory Sloane looked far more assured in his second game back from injury, collecting 31 disposals (18 contested), 11 clearances and seven tackles. He was well supported in the midfield by Matt Crouch (38 disposals, 10 clearances).
Emerging defender Tom Doedee was easily one of the Crows’ best, finishing with 28 disposals at 89.3 per cent efficiency along with eight marks (three contested marks) and 12 intercept possessions.
Daniel Talia (18 disposals, eight marks, eight one percenters) and Rory Laird (35 disposals, eight rebound 50s) both had solid games.
At the other end of the ground, Josh Jenkins was Adelaide’s best forward with three goals.

Polls open immediately after every Crows game. Users assign three votes to the player they deem Adelaide’s best contributor, two to the second-best and one vote for their third most valuable Crow in each match.
Polling closes on Tuesday at 4.30pm (SA time) after each round when the final votes are collated using a points system.
A maximum of 100 points per game can be awarded to the entire team. Each player is given a percentage of the total votes received to go towards their season tally (For example, if 1,200 votes were placed in Round One and Taylor Walker receives 600 then that is the equivalent of 50 per cent of all votes for that round and he would receive 50 points towards his season tally. If the second best player received 120 votes from 1,200 then that is the equivalent of 10 per cent and he will get 10 votes towards the season tally).
This process is repeated each round and players accumulate points towards their season tally. The player at the top of the leaderboard at the end of the season is crowned the Crows Fans’ MVP.
