	Adelaide Crows - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Crows struggled against Carlton in week 2 at Waverly Park in a 18 point loss denying them a Grand Final spot but still had another chance in the 1993 preliminary final which was played at the MCG against Essendon and the Crows led by 42 points at halftime after a superb first half performance.
		Adelaide were one of the favourites for the premiership in 2003.
		Adelaide overcame a lot of injuries and went 13-9 in the home and away season and finished 6th, but it was certainally a painful year for Crows fans.

	Adelaide (2)
		Adelaide, which would be facing its fourth arduous finals match in as many weeks, was widely presumed to be unlikely to be able to keep pace with the fresher, fitter Saints, who would also have the benefit of the passionate vocal support of a large proportion of the MCG crowd.
		In addition, the Crows would be without both of their 1997 AFL All Australians, Tony Modra (who also won the Coleman Medal for kicking most goals during the home and away rounds) and Mark Ricciuto, and their absence was felt to more than counterbalance the Saints' loss of ruckmen Peter Everitt and Lazar Vidovic.
		With all four qualifying finals going to form the Crows survived to fight again, and their 'reward' was, on the face of things, the slightly less onerous task of fronting up to Sydney at the SCG.

		The formation of the Adelaide Football Club is a long and tedious story.
		Then, notwithstanding the unanimous resolution of the SANFL clubs in May 1990 that a team would not be entered into the AFL until season 1993, the Port Adelaide Football Club, in July 1990, reached heads of agreement with the AFL to enter a team into its competition in season 1991.

	Adelaide
		While the history of the Adelaide Crows is all too brief, the background to the club's formation is long and complex.
		The man chosen to pilot the Crows through what he would later refer to as "the uncharted waters" of their debut season in the AFL was Graham Cornes.
		On the field the Crows, most of whom were AFL 'rookies', played a typical South Australian brand of football in which handball and high rates of (not necessarily damaging to the opposition) possession featured prominently.

		Adelaide is still #2, with 16 wins and 5 losses, and a score of 64 premiership points.
		Percentages though, are as follows: West Coast 125.55% and Adelaide 137.77%, which is the highest winning percentage on the ladder at this time.
		So if the crows win against the eagles, we will both be on 68 points, however our percentage would place us in first position on the ladder, securing US the minor round premiership.
