Hinge has been cited for striking by match review officer Michael Christian after landing a quick jab on Brayshaw in the second quarter of the Dockers' win on Friday night. The dashing backman will miss Adelaide's home clash against Carlton next Saturday afternoon after his blow was deemed intentional, high contact and low impact. Hinge's fellow defender Josh Worrell has been offered a $3000 fine for misconduct on Docker Michael Frederick in a third-quarter incident. The Crows are among a pack of clubs with four wins and three losses after slipping to an 18-point away defeat to Fremantle.

Darcy Fogarty: Adelaide Crows forward won't face Fremantle Dockers amid shoulder injury
Adelaide will be without their equal-leading goalkicker for Friday's Anzac Day clash against Fremantle, with star forward Darcy Fogarty ruled out with a shoulder injury. Fogarty suffered a shoulder strain during the Crows' win over GWS last weekend, with the 25-year-old initially playing through the injury before succumbing late in the game. Speaking on Thursday before team selection, Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks said Fogarty was still experiencing pain in his shoulder, but the club was confident his absence would be just one week. It's a blow for the Crows' chances of earning a win at Optus Stadium, with Fogarty having booted multiple goals in each of his team's first five games of the season to set up a strong season tally of 16 before last weekend's injury-impacted outing. Adelaide will have to adjust to the rare absence of the key forward, who has played 48 consecutive games and not missed a match for more than two years. The Crows will be boosted by the return of tagger James Peatling from suspension, with a likely job on Caleb Serong or Andrew Brayshaw looming. More to come

Balme to preach multiplier effect as Crows board member
Neil Balme will preach what he calls "the multiplier effect" in his new AFL role with Adelaide after shunning retirement to join the Crows' board. The 73-year-old has accepted a three-year term as a football director with the club. Balme boasts a wildly successful resume which includes being a dual Richmond premiership player in the 1970s and a two-time SANFL premiership coach with Norwood in the 1980s. He also coached Melbourne in the 1990s before working at Collingwood and then enjoying AFL flag success six times as a football manager - three each at Geelong and Richmond. Balme finished his stint at Richmond last year and considered walking away from football - until Adelaide chairman John Olsen called. "Once I had that chat, I realised how much I wanted to stay in footy somehow," he told Adelaide's annual general meeting on Wednesday night. "My connection to SA told me to think about this. "You convince yourself that you can influence and there's no great secret to it all, it's just a matter of helping everyone do what they're doing." Listen in to Neil Balme's first comments as a Crow 🤝🎥 — Adelaide Crows (@Adelaide_FC) March 6, 2025 Balme said he would perform an oversight role on Adelaide's football department. "Just be there to encourage them to do their jobs," he said. "Because we all hear so much about footy nowadays and it's all the same terminology - they talk about environment and culture and buy-in and all this stuff. "Everyone knows the question ... do we actually know the answer in the end. "And the answer is simply how well you make that happen." The essence of his messaging would be to grasp the multiplier effect, Balme said. "If we can get an environment where everyone understands what the power of the multiplier effect is, and what the power of what they're doing is ... it will be easier to be as good as they can be if the other blokes are helping them," he said. "It's simple. But everyone knows the words, it's the matter of what is the action and do you do it. "It's in every footy club. The answer is in the room. It's matter of whether you drive it or not. "We have got so many people teaching them (players) to kick and mark and run and play and all this - and everyone does that. "But do they actually put it together? Do they make it happen? "When you see the sides that have won, they have made it happen - their multiplier effect has been better than the players they have got."
