Reilly O’Brien
This is a tricky one. The Crows have a handful of past All-Australians already but it’s hard to see where the next one comes from.
Of the non-AAs on the Adelaide list, Tom Lynch and Taylor Walker have been closest when making the squad of 40 in 2017, but it would shock if either of those two were to find themselves in an all-AFL select these days.
The one that could bob up is Reilly O’Brien. He won the best and fairest in his second full year as Crows ruckman in 2020 and appears to be the one closest to an All-Australian berth.

After what felt like an eternity of an offseason (which doesn’t make sense given it was actually shorter), the AFL is back in just two short weeks.
That means it’s time for preview articles! Rather than going team-by-team in 2021, we’ll group the teams together based on where they finished last season.
Today, I’ll take a look at last year’s bottom four, before moving onto the rest of the non-finalists (Tuesday), the non-top four finalists (next Thursday) and, finally, the reigning top four (the following Tuesday).

The AFL could have its first concussion test case in the wake of implementing new 12-day guidelines.
North Melbourne star Ben Cunnington is being closely monitored by club medicos after suffering a suspected concussion in an intra club game at Arden Street this morning.
Cunnington copped an elbow to the back of the head during the match. A stretcher was called, but the midfielder was able to get to his feet and walk from the field.
The AFL last month announced it had doubled the amount of time players must spend on the sidelines if they suffer a concussion, increasing it from six days to 12.
