Our man Lachlan McKirdy saving the press conference and getting compared to Kouta! 😂

Gregg Popovich has more playoff wins than the — Hawks — Heat — Suns — Rockets — Bucks — Jazz — Cavs — Pacers — Trail Blazers — Mavericks — Nuggets — Wizards — Kings — Nets — Clippers — Magic — Raptors — Grizzlies — Timberwolves — Hornets — Pelicans

That time Gregg Popovich fouled Shaq 5 seconds into the game — Pop’s reaction. 🤣🤣 (via NBA History)

"Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again?" a fitting song for that Brodie Smith goal. Wasn't sure when we'd see the 33-year-old again, given he hadn't played since round 19, so a nice touch he kicks the last goal in his first game back in a huge win for the Crows. #AFLCrowsBlues

Josh Worrell could very well be leading Adelaide's best and fairest. But he was so raw and so far off it early on at West Lakes he sometimes wonders if he would still be on a list at another club. My chat with one of the great characters at the Crows adelaidenow.com.au/sport/josh-wor…

Someone got to get a camera on Nico immediately if the Mavs win the #NBADraftLottery.

Maybe Nico knew what he was doing…

Premiership coach Chris Fagan says Tasmania should be granted AFL entry regardless of any new stadium delays. “It would be such a tragedy if it doesn’t go ahead because there wasn’t a new stadium when there are other footy fields they play on.” shorturl.at/ociCZ

Adelaide has no plans to accelerate contract talks with Matthew Nicks should the club end its finals drought. The Crows are expected to wait until at least the summer to discuss an extension, pending a top-eight return. Nicks is contracted for 2026. ➡️bit.ly/4kOeM9M

Brisbane’s regeneration from last to flag threat reassured impatient Crows officials in 2023 and 2024 when they reviewed other rebuilds to learn if theirs was taking too long. We analyse recruiting similarities and an ex-Lion's role in Adelaide's rise. ➡️bit.ly/3Tcz2Gm

That's got to be Adelaide's most significant victory since the 2017 preliminary final. #AFLCrowsLions

ANALYSIS: One of Nicksy's favourite sayings in his six years has been “we’re up for the fight”. Tonight was a different division: a heavyweight battle. And Adelaide passed the test of whether it was a feelgood story or true challenger. ▶️bit.ly/4dQn0Mz #AFLCrowsLions

DEEP DIVE: Adelaide's win over Brisbane was a year to the day since its miserable home loss to wooden-spooner Richmond. How the club's comments and faith at perhaps its lowest point under Matthew Nicks are being vindicated 12 months on. ➡️bit.ly/45a6Nzv #AFLCrowsLions

"I can't imagine how hard it would've been to tell your 13-year-old daughter that she couldn't play the game she loves anymore." Erin Phillips pays special tribute to her father, and now fellow Hall of Fame member Greg 🥹

Rising Star Dan Curtin has pledged his long-term future to Adelaide, telling SuperFooty (AFL) his manager is talking to the club on an extension. Talks have just started but understood to be progressing well. The WA product has another year on his deal. ➡️bit.ly/3HzznR2

ANALYSIS: Adelaide's conceding its fewest points against since 2005 & its fewest scores per inside 50 on record. Since Gather Round they're 1st for points against & pressure rating. And doing it with a backline without big-name recruits or top-10 picks. bit.ly/3HDbg3W

DEEP DIVE - Keep falling short on road v best teams, but Mitchell thinks Crows are "legit" - Tex, Fog 1 touch each in Q4 - Rachele, Thilthorpe, Tex kick 0.8 - 2 bad spoils (Fog's free, Berry losing Newcombe) led to matchwinner - Worrell on THAT tackle ▶️bit.ly/4kJcbyv

Jason Horne-Francis to SuperFooty (AFL) on his shoulder injury: “It’s just a bit of a tweak, I think. Hopefully not too bad. I came out of a stiff arm and felt it pull up a bit sore. We’ll see how it goes & probably get scans.” ➡️ bit.ly/4n3OAtJ #AFLPowerDees
