The opposition
After going seven straight weeks without a defeat to begin the 2023 campaign, the Crows suffered their first loss last week when they were trumped by Brisbane.
While the loss dropp
ed them to second on the ladder, the club still boasts a victory over reigning premiers Melbourne, an outfit the Roos struggled to dissect in Round 7 after quarter-time.
Midfielder Ebony Marinoff has again been a weapon for Adelaide this season averaging 28.5 disposals and 10.5 tackles, while working in tandem with Anne Hatchard who is collecting 25.3 touches per game herself.
Caitlin Gould and Danielle Ponter pose as threats inside the Crows’ attacking 50. Both have booted 14 goals apiece and are two of only seven players in the League to have kicked 14 or more this season.
