6. Strengths and Weaknesses

The strength for the Crows is their midfield's ability to win the ball. Matt Crouch and Rory Laird are terrific ball winners and will be key for the Crows season. The problem is more what the Crows do with the ball in hand, being a young side their structure can regularly fall-down and leave their ball use all at sea.

Reilly O'Brien constantly gives his midfield first use but was all too often is led to nothing last season and that may not change too much this year.

Their greatest weakness is their scoring ability. Their forward line is lacking experience besides Walker and they struggle to put up a winning score. They rely heavily on veteran spearhead up forward, but his output has dramatically dropped season on season since 2017, and he may not be longed for the Adelaide forward line in 2021.
