Adelaide coach Don Pyke insists he’s not worried about his team’s losing form ahead of their home AFL qualifying final against Greater Western Sydney.

The Crows won the minor premiership after finishing the regular season with 15 wins and a draw from 22 matches.

But they enter the finals on the back of two-straight losses.

The Crows lost at home to the white-hot Swans by three points in round 22, before losing to West Coast by 29 points in Perth on Sunday.

Adelaide will welcome back skipper Taylor Walker (toe) and defender Daniel Talia (ankle) against the Giants.

Pyke conceded his team were a bit off against West Coast — no great surprise given the Crows had already locked up top spot heading into the match.

And he said the game against Sydney was played at a finals-like intensity, giving his players great preparation heading into September.

“The new season really starts now,” Pyke said.

“The disappointment of this game (against West Coast) and how we played is there.

“We understand at the top end there is a fine line between winning and losing and sometimes you are going be on the wrong side.

“I’m not worried about that.

“But the reality is across the body of evidence we put forward this season, we finished top.

“That’s a great achievement from a playing viewpoint.

“We now say goodbye to 10 teams and eight go forward, and now you are playing for keeps.”

The Crows thrashed GWS by 56 points at Adelaide Oval in the only match between the two sides this year.

But that game was played in round one, and Pyke said he would study some more recent vision of the Giants in order to prepare for them properly.

“There has been a lot of water under the bridge since then,” Pyke said.

“We’ll do normal opposition scouting on them and see what we can take and glean.

“But a fair focus will be on us and (making sure) we play the way we want to and play to our strengths.”

Pyke is confident the bye before the finals won’t be an issue for his side.
