Adelaide Crows 2026 Preview

The Adelaide Crows showed clear signs of their potential in 2025, producing a dramatic turnaround after finishing 15th the previous season to claim top spot on the ladder. While their finals campaign ended in straight sets, the year marked a major step forward for the club. 

Strong leadership from Jordan Dawson, the emergence of Riley Thilthorpe, and a relatively injury-free list allowed Adelaide to play with confidence and consistency, giving a genuine glimpse of what this group is capable of at its best.

Looking ahead to 2026, the focus shifts to whether the Crows can build on that progress and push deeper into September. Some question whether 2025 represented a missed opportunity, but many see a talented core still on the rise. 

With preseason underway and another campaign approaching, Adelaide enters the new season with renewed belief, unanswered questions, and the sense that their best football may still be ahead of them.

The Crows’ emphasis on pressure, contested football and defensive structure can influence total points markets, particularly against teams that prefer a faster, high-scoring style.

Player Markets
