After an injury-ravaged first year at West Lakes, Callinan established his place in the Crows side in 2012. The clever small forward missed only two matches through injury and kicked 39 goals – including four bags of four– to finish equal-second with Kurt Tippett in the Club’s goalkicking.

Season by Season

Season by Season

After joining the Crows in the 2010 Rookie Draft at the age of 27, the four-time Central District premiership player was on track for a round one debut when he sustained a freak bicep injury in the final NAB Challenge game. The tough midfield/forward worked tirelessly in his rehabilitation and was rewarded with a long-awaited AFL debut against Geelong in round 14. He starred in his first outing for Adelaide, gathering 21 possessions and kicking a classy goal. Unfortunately, a hamstring injury limited him to only two more appearances for the season.
