Adelaide has jumped to the top of the AFL ladder following a 59-point win over the Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval on Friday night. 

Leading by three points at half-time, the Crows played scintillating footy after the main break, booting 10 unanswered goals to set up the big victory.

In wet conditions, tall forwards Taylor Walker (18 disposals, 13 contested possessions, three goals) and Josh Jenkins (four goals, 11 marks) provided firepower for the home side and were well served by their engine room.

Matt Crouch was again prolific with 32 touches, brother Brad accumulated 24 disposals while Rory Sloane had 24 disposals to go with eight tackles and eight inside 50s.

Down back, Rory Laird (32 disposals at 87.5% efficiency, 12 marks) and Jake Lever (22 disposals, 11 marks, seven rebound 50s) were at their best. Young defender Jake Kelly played an important role on Bulldogs forward Jake Stringer, tallying 17 disposals, eight marks, nine tackles and eight spoils whilst keeping Stringer to a solitary goal.

Swingman Andy Otten also played well after being recalled to the senior team, with 21 touches at 95% efficiency, 10 marks and four spoils to his name.

Polls opens 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.
