Adelaide Crows odds

The 2018 AFL Premiership campaign was a disappointing one for the Adelaide Football Club.

The Crows started the year as flag favourites after reaching the grand final in 2017, but injury woes and poor performances saw them slide right out of the eight.

Can Don Pyke’s men get their mojo back and become title contenders once again in 2019, or will it be another year to forget at Adelaide Oval?

• Adelaide 2019 premiership betting
  Adelaide took a huge dive in 2018, sliding from top of the ladder and a GF berth to a disappointing 12th and no finals. Injuries played a part, but misfiring stars and issues in the leadership group were the bigger problems. While Rory Sloane’s elevation to the captaincy is a good move, there are now too many other teams ahead of the Crows in the premiership queue.
  
• Top 8 betting
  Although a flag might be out of reach, Adelaide should – SHOULD – be a very good chance of playing finals football in 2019. Don’t expect any miracles, but a spot in the bottom half of the eight is very achievable.
  
• Brownlow Medal betting
  Sloane has been Adelaide’s go-to guy in Brownlow Medal betting in the past few years, but his namesake Rory Laird topped the club count with 19 votes in 2018 and will start this season as an outside chance to win it. Another to keep an eye on is Matt Crouch, whose prolific ball-winning will attract plenty of votes if he avoids injury and suspension.
  
• Rising Star betting
  At 19 years of age and with only 10 senior games under his belt, Darcy Fogarty still qualifies for AFL Rising Star honours in his sophomore year. The Crows don’t have any other likely candidates in this market.
  
• Coleman Medal betting
  Neither Eddie Betts nor Taylor Walker were very prolific last season, so pick a top goalkicker is a little tricky. Josh Jenkins hit the target 46 times last year and offers decent value at $51 in the preseason Coleman Medal betting at Sportsbet.com.au.
  

Adelaide Crows 2019 AFL fixture

Crows players to watch in 2019

Taylor Walker
Born: 25/4/1990
Games: 167
Goals: 383
Position: Forward

This is a big year for ‘Tex’ Walker. The big forward was miles off the pace last season, finishing with a paltry 26 goals from 14 games. Crows fans will hope he shines now that Rory Sloane has stepped up to share the captaincy.

Brad Crouch
Born: 14/1/1994
Games: 61
Goals: 21
Position: Midfielder

Both the Crouch brothers have had their injury woes, but Brad has suffered the worst of it. If he stays fit, the talented onballer will add considerable class to the Adelaide midfield after missing the entirety of the 2018 season.

Darcy Fogarty
Born: 25/9/1999
Games: 10
Goals: 9
Position: Forward

Fogarty got a taste of AFL footy last season without really making his mark in Adelaide’s first team. He should be better for another year in the system and looks a very good chance to earn a Rising Star nomination.
