‘What a freak': Izak Rankine defies belief with outrageous soccer goal
Izak Rankine has produced a goal of the year contender as Adelaide held on to topple Port Adelaide in a hard-fought Showdown contest. The Crows were locked in a tight tussle with the Power and needed somebody to take the game over.

The 25-year-old showed he loves the big stage by getting on the end of a scintillating passage of play by soccering the ball through the big sticks. Crows ruckman brilliantly fed skipper Jordan Dawson who burst out of the middle and drilled the ball deep inside 50. Darcy Fogarty wasn't able to haul in the mark with the ball bouncing off his chest and into free space. Rankine then pounced as he raced into the contest and slotted the ball back across his body for his second straight goal. 'WOW. There it is,' Garry Lyon said on Fox Footy. 'The magic man says you can have your Rozee and your Butters, when it's on the line I'm going to step up and provide something special in the Showdown.' Fans watching on couldn't quite believe what the Crows star had just produced in a clutch fourth quarter moment. One fan wrote: 'Rankine, wow. What a freak this guy.' A second added: 'You're are a freak of nature Izak Rankine.' The soccer goal came only moments after Rankine kicked his first goal of the contest after running into open space in the 50. The contest was hanging in the balance in the fourth quarter with the Crows unable to pull clear of their cross-town rivals. But it was Rankine who stepped up to the plate with his first goal giving his team some much needed breathing space. Despite the moments of magic from Rankine, the Crows ran out of juice as Port Adelaide roared back to life. Down by as many as 21-points, the momentum completely flipped as the Power had all the running and looked like they were on the brink of pinching victory from the jaws of defeat. Goals to Darcy Byrne-Jones and Jeremy Finlayson saw the margin close to within four-points, but that's as close as things got as the Crows held on. The win lifts the Crows to 6-3 on the season and sees them sitting in fifth on the ladder. The loss for the Power drops them to 4-5 with pressure all over coach Ken Hinkley.

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
