Overview
- Adelaide defeated Richmond 9.9 (63) to 7.12 (54) after overturning a 13-point deficit in the third quarter to secure a narrow win.
- Callum Ah Chee’s 55-metre on-the-run goal and Izak Rankine’s 50-metre on-the-run major swung momentum for the Crows before Zac Taylor sealed the result with a 50-metre set shot under four minutes remaining.
- Izak Rankine produced a career-high 37 disposals and about a dozen clearances while Richmond’s Seth Campbell kicked three goals and Tom Lynch missed three gettable opportunities.
- Heavy rain at Adelaide Oval made the match error-prone and amplified single moments, with a largely pro‑Adelaide crowd of 42,762 watching a tense finish.
- The win leaves Adelaide fifth on 56 premiership points and 0.2 percent behind fourth-placed Brisbane, tightening their reliance on percentage and form as they head into a challenging trip to Fremantle.
