2017 will go down in history as one of the most memorable years in the history of the Adelaide Football Club. The men had played plenty of good football during last year, reaching top at the end of the Minor rounds with the highest scoring percentage, and then reaching the Grand Final, only to fall on the last hurdle.
The other highlight of course for season 2017, was the inaugural season for the AFLW competition. The Adelaide Crows female team were the darlings of the footy nation after winning the first ever season of AFLW. There weren't too much fanfare when the AFLW season started but as the weeks had progressed, seeing Phillips doing freakish marks/goals, Randall doing her crunching tackles, Perkins kicking a Tex-like 50m bomb...fans started to take more notice, and were getting more into the spirit of the game.
The AFLW Crows will start their first practice match against Freo this week, so now probably is the right time to start discussing all things AFLW in 2018. Will they go back-to-back premiers? Will Bec Goddard continue to inspire? Will Phillips win back-to-back MVP awards? Will more fans flock to the (free) gates? Will Perkins win the female version of the Coleman medal? Will Marinoff get a dislocated jaw with that big grin of hers? Stay tuned people!
