Led by the likes of Taylor Walker, Eddie Betts, James Podsiadly, Tom Lynch and Josh Jenkins, Adelaide's forward line, when fit, is seriously potent.

Podsiadly was sixth (41) in the competition for contested marks in 2014, while Betts booted 51 goals and was third in the League for goal assists (29).

Combined with a host of midfielders who regularly hit the scoreboard, the Crows have no trouble scoring big.

Scott Thompson, Dangerfield and Sloane are contested kings too, but Jacobs' ruck work was undoubtedly the key to the club's clearance performance.
