The Crows made Saturday night one to remember for Members and fans, snapping a 12-year hoodoo with a memorable win against the Magpies at the ‘G.
A lot unfolded across the night and the weekend, so we’ve rounded up some moments you may have missed.

Midfield minutes for Riley Thilthorpe
Riley Thilthorpe was thrust into the midfield against Collingwood and he set the ‘G alight.
The 201cm tall attended four centre bounces, amassed a clearance and laid a crunching take-down tackle on Magpies star midfielder Nick Daicos - which got the media talking.

Dan Curtin’s recovery wrap
Crows young gun Dan Curtin spoke on this year’s first episode of The Crows TV Show about how he’s using his knee injury to put on even more size, with an aim to return bigger and better.
Last Friday, Curtin ran for the first time on grass since dislocating his left kneecap during pre-season training and is hoping to be back playing by Round Eight.

Nibbler’s praise for Crows fans
Alex Neal-Bullen had plenty of praise for Adelaide’s travelling fans, saying they helped the team get over the line against the Magpies.
Speaking after the Round One victory, Neal-Bullen said fans were as loud as he had ever heard.
“I’ve never heard so many away fans at the MCG,” Neal-Bullen said.
“I’m so proud of the fans that travelled, we certainly heard you all.”

Roughy sighting
The Crows announced Jarryd Roughead as their new General Manager List Management last week and the four-time premiership star wasted no time getting amongst his new Club.
Roughead was spotted in the Crows’ changerooms pre-game during the warm-up and post-game after the win.
Please explain: Josh Worrell
Crows defender Josh Worrell was seen doing a post-game interview wearing a hat created by OSCK - the brand Hawthorn forward Jack Ginnivan co-owns.
Woz’s nod to Ginni's brand was through a friend of a friend of a friend.
We reckon our guy rocks the hat pretty well.
