Adelaide has gone down to the Sydney Swans by three points in an epic clash at Adelaide Oval. The Crows surged to a nine-point lead with the first three goals of the final quarter, but the visitors would have the last laugh with majors to Sam Reid and Tom Papley pushing last year's Grand Finalists into the top four.

Rory Sloane was a colossus in the midfield despite close checking from Isaac Heeney, finishing the game with 29 disposals (20 contested), nine clearances and a massive 14 tackles while consistent duo Rory Laird and Matt Crouch both had 34 touches.

Mitch McGovern booted four goals for the home side, Sam Jacobs won the ruck battle, but ultimately it was a disappointing night for the Crows, going home without the four premiership points.

Polls opens immediately after every Crows game. Users assign three votes to the player they deem Adelaide’s best contributor, two to the second-best and one vote for their third most valuable Crow in each match.

Polling closes on Tuesday at 4.30pm (SA time) after each round when the final votes are collated using a points system.

A maximum of 100 points per game can be awarded to the entire team. Each player is given a percentage of the total votes received to go towards their season tally (For example, if 1,200 votes were placed in Round One and Taylor Walker receives 600 then that is the equivalent of 50 per cent of all votes for that round and he would receive 50 points towards his season tally. If the second best player received 120 votes from 1,200 then that is the equivalent of 10 per cent and he will get 10 votes towards the season tally).

This process is repeated each round and players accumulate points towards their season tally. The player at the top of the leaderboard at the end of the season is crowned the Crows Fans’ MVP.
