The Adelaide Crows began their 2026 AFL campaign with a 14-point victory over Collingwood at the MCG.

2025 AFL Background for the Crows

Adelaide finished first on the 2025 AFL ladder with 18 wins and 5 losses. They were eliminated at the semi-final stage. That regular-season record sets the baseline for understanding the club's position entering the new year.

Port Adelaide Details

Port Adelaide finished 13th on the 2025 AFL ladder. Josh Carr is the coach. Zak Butters was named the 2025 best-and-fairest. These details outline the club's recent ladder position and leadership group.

SANFL Women's Standings

In the 2026 SANFL Women's competition, Woodville-West Torrens hold a 6-1 record and sit top of the table after round 8. South Adelaide sit second with a 5-2 record. These results after eight rounds give a clear picture of the early ladder order.

Adelaide United FC Season Summary

Adelaide United FC finished the 2025-26 A-League Men season as semi-finalists. Airton Andrioli was the manager and Luka Jovanovic the top scorer with 11 goals. The semi-final finish and individual scoring total are the recorded outcomes for that campaign.

Following these teams begins with knowing the listed results and ladder positions. The Crows' opening 2026 win, the 2025 finishes for both AFL clubs, the round-8 SANFL Women's table and the A-League semi-final appearance supply the verifiable markers. Supporters can track ongoing matches and updated tables to stay current with each competition.

The 14-point margin against Collingwood is the exact figure recorded for the Crows' first MCG win over that opponent since 2014. The 18 wins and 5 losses, the 13th placing, the 6-1 and 5-2 records, the semi-final finish and the 11 goals are the precise details available from the verified records. These numbers allow anyone starting to follow the teams to reference the same outcomes without additional assumptions.
