Adelaide will meet three of this year’s top four sides – West Coast, Fremantle and North Melbourne – twice in Season 2016.

The Crows also double up against Port Adelaide and Geelong, who both finished the 2015 season one win out of the top eight.

The other teams on Adelaide’s home game schedule next season are Sydney, Collingwood, Greater Western Sydney, St Kilda, Brisbane and Essendon. Of this group, only Sydney played in the 2015 finals and it will be Essendon’s first game against the Crows at Adelaide Oval.

Carlton, which has not played an away game against the Crows since 2010, has again missed out.

For the second consecutive year Adelaide hosts the first Showdown, in a Saturday afternoon game in Round Two. It is the first time the Crows have played their first home game of the season against the Power.

Port’s home Showdown will be played on a Saturday night in Round 22.
