Preview:
Adelaide play Port Adelaide on Sunday, kicking off at AAMI Stadium at 3.20pm. This local derby should be a great one to watch, with the Power perhaps slight favourites
over the Crows. While these two teams are in very different positions as we get closer to the finals, the prospect of a local derby always makes for an interesting
competition. The Power have had a great year in 2013, and will want to get one over on the Crows to help secure a finals position.

Crows count cost of another AFL loss
The AFL season of Adelaide big man Josh Jenkins is over, and so are the Crows’ finals hopes.
Jenkins, who has booted 24 goals this year, fractured his right ankle after falling awkwardly in a marking contest during Saturday night’s 22-point loss to Fremantle at Patersons Stadium.
The Crows will wait until Monday before determining the best course of action to take with the injury.
But either way, Jenkins won’t play again this year, with the injury robbing Adelaide of yet another marking option in attack.
Spearhead Taylor Walker is already out for the year after undergoing a knee reconstruction, while Kurt Tippett left a major hole in attack when he defected to Sydney last year.
Adelaide came within a goal of reaching the grand final last season.
But their 2013 campaign has been one to forget, with the Crows (7-10) now needing a miracle if they are to scrape into eighth spot.
Adelaide will welcome back star midfielder Patrick Dangerfield and defender Ben Rutten for Sunday’s showdown with Port Adelaide.
Despite the Crows’ lowly ladder position, coach Brenton Sanderson has promised fans his team will continue to battle for a finals spot.
“We won’t be giving up. We will fight this season out,” Sanderson said.
“It’s a 22-game season and we’ll be going as hard as we can until the siren sounds in the fourth quarter of our last game.”
Forward Shaun McKernan is in doubt to take on the Power after tweaking his ankle against Fremantle.
“We’ve probably got the most unsettled forward line in the competition through injuries and form,” Sanderson said.
The Crows won most of the key statistical areas against Fremantle, but their return of 3.8 from set shots cost them dearly.
