Eddie Betts provided the entertainment to start the week on afc.com.au.
The small forward’s Goal of the Year contender at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night prompted a huge reaction from fans, teammates and other players on Twitter and other social media platforms.
After the game, we quizzed Eddie (and youngest son Billy!) about THAT goal, and the maestro revealed he didn't even look at the big sticks before bending the ball around on his right boot!
The brilliant Crow received two Goal of the Year nominations this week, with his 'escape act' on the boundary line getting the nod with an increcible 81 per cent of the votes.
Our post-match interview with Eddie was one of the most-viewed videos on afc.com.au over the past seven days.
Adelaide’s other five-goal hero against GWS, Taylor Walker, was the most read-about player.
With his first goal on Saturday night, ‘Tex’ moved into outright third place in the Club’s all-time goalkicking, overtaking the great Andrew McLeod.
Walker, who has kicked 280 career goals, is only 12 shy of Brownlow Medallist and Crows 300-gamer Mark Ricciuto (292 goals) in second spot on the overall leaderboard at West Lakes.
However, he's got work to do to topple Tony Modra as the Club's greatest-ever goalkicker.
'Mods' kicked a remarkable 440 goals in just 118 games as a Crow.
Betts is one of five Crows in contention for All Australian selection at the halfway mark of the season, according to the team at AFL Media.
Another in-form Crow, Rory Atkins, took over our Twitter account to chat with fans during the week. The #ratchat covered few serious football issues, but provided plenty of laughs!

Supporters got another insight to the Club when coach Don Pyke wore a microphone during a main training session. Watch Pykey interact with the players and coaches in the video player at the top of this page.
A popular new video series also launched on afc.com.au this week. In the first Toyota Memorable Crowment, Tex went for a drive with premiership hero Matty Robran to reflect on a funny moment in the centre half-forward’s career.
