Waalitj Marawar (West Coast) star Jake Waterman injured in heavy defeat to Kuwarna (Adelaide)
A shoulder injury to star forward Jake Waterman has rubbed salt into Waalitj Marawar's (West Coast's) wounds in a heavy 66-point defeat to Kuwarna (Adelaide) at Adelaide Oval on Sunday. Waterman had been one of the Eagles' best with three goals but the All-Australian forward was taken from the field holding his right shoulder after finding himself in the middle of a massive collision early in the final quarter. It came after the Eagles were ambushed by a ruthless Crows in the third term, the home side kicking seven goals to one to shake off the brave visitors and secure a 19.14 (128) to 8.14 (62) victory. The Eagles went into the game having lost their past eight games at the iconic South Australian venue, including a 99-point defeat 264 days prior. For more than a half of footy, Andrew McQualter's men gave the Crows a fight but ultimately the home side were able to make the scoreboard reflect the gap in class between the two outfits. Crows captain Jordan Dawson lifted his game in the third term when Kuwarna put the Eagles to the sword, finishing with 27 disposals, eight clearances, two goals and 11 inside 50s. Sam Berry relished his rare exposure to full midfield minutes with 26 disposals, four clearances and a goal, while prized recruit James Peatling (16 disposals and two goals) glided across the ground in an eye-catching performance. West Coast's day was epitomised by defender Reuben Ginbey who was incredibly brave – including taking an amazing mark back with the flight – but butchered the footy when given the chance. Their veterans who had been so staunch in the past fortnight looked tired as the toll of a gruelling season begins to take its toll already. The Eagles' undersized defence would've breathed a sigh of relief when the Crows withdrew former skipper Taylor Walker before the bounce. And then the reality of the monumental task ahead of them would've set in when Riley Thilthorpe (two goals) out-positioned two Eagles defenders to kick the first goal. Skill errors plagued the Eagles early at both ends of the ground as simple missed kicks left them exposed on the turnover and cost them early scoring opportunities. Oscar Allen (two goals) would've been the most frustrated man in South Australia, with the Eagles' co-captain beating his opponent on several occasions only for his teammates to be unable to find him on the lead. Promisingly, the visitors didn't let the mistakes discourage them and they maintained their strong pressure to create turnovers the other way and hit the scoreboard. They could've been in front had they been cleaner going forward, with the Crows taking an incredible nine intercept marks in the first term alone. And they didn't fix the issues at quarter time. Waalitj Marawar went from competitive to on top through the middle of the ground and it allowed them to dominate the territory battle. While they had 18 inside 50s for the term, for much of the quarter it looked as if their only goal would come courtesy of a lucky bounce from Tyler Brockman, who was trying to find Allen but overcooked the kick. At the other end Adelaide were efficient with their limited opportunities and held a 23-point lead when Thilthorpe kicked his second late in the term. Waterman kept the Eagles within touch when he converted a long-range set shot after the half-time siren, but they could've been a lot closer had their midfield-forward connection been better. The Crows was finally able to break the game open late in the third term, kicking five unanswered goals in a 13-minute ambush to blow the 17-point half-time lead out to 57 points at the last break. Waterman's unfortunate injury seemed to suck the life out of the contest as Josh closed the door on a miracle comeback when he ran into an unguarded goalsquare to kick his fourth of his five majors. Within 30 seconds the Eagles' day may have got worse with premiership defender Tom Cole limping from the ground with a potential ankle injury. Recruit Liam Baker may face scrutiny from the match review officer after pushing his elbow into the back of Peatling's head after giving away a free kick.

Sir Doug Nicholls Round: Every AFL jumper and their stories for Indigenous Round
As the AFL celebrates its 10th annual Sir Doug Nicholls Round, we look through the deadly designs for each club's Indigenous jumpers and the stories they tell. KUWARNA (ADELAIDE) Known as Kuwarna for Sir Doug Nicholls Round, the Crows will wear a guernsey designed by former player and Wirangu man Graham Johncock alongside Wirangu artist Aunty Christine Tschuna. The design tells Johncock's family and football story, including growing up on the west coast of South Australia to being drafted by the Crows. Past and present Indigenous players are also represented by symbols on the jumper. BRISBANE Premiership forward Callum Ah Chee's family, led by his eldest brother Jordan, have designed Brisbane's guernsey. The jumper represents Ah Chee's journey to the Lions and includes references to the Kimberley region in Western Australia, where he was born. The design also represents places, stories and people that have a connection to the Lions. CARLTON Carlton's guernsey was designed by Yorta Yorta siblings and founders of Bayadherra, Luke and Siena Tieri and pays homage to their ancestry. The three central lines in the design represent the Blues' Indigenous players past, present and emerging. COLLINGWOOD Collingwood's Indigenous guernsey is designed by First Nations artist Lisa Thorpe, a woman from multiple Clans and Nations across Victoria, and inspired by her art piece 'Wooroongi Biik', meaning ' Lore of the Land ' . According to the club, the design symbolises unity of the Boonwurrung Baluk (people) to Biik (Country), 'much like the Magpie Army to Collingwood.' ESSENDON Two school students are behind Essendon's Sir Doug Nicholls Round jumper, which will be worn for the Dreamtime game at the MCG. Lucas Waddleton, a Tyerrernotepanner student from Northern Tasmania, and Lawson Richards, a non-Indigenous student, designed the jumper, which represents the unity of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people coming together. WALYALUP (FREMANTLE) Known as Walyalup for Sir Doug Nicholls Round, the Dockers' Indigenous jumper was designed by one of the most talented small forwards in the club's history. Jeff Farmer - alongside his Father Jeff Farmer Snr, Mother Iris and in collaboration with Roger Hayden - designed the guernsey to pay tribute to Farmer's football journey and the history of Indigenous people in the Great Southern of WA. GEELONG Lawson Humphries' sister Meeza is behind Geelong's Indigenous guernsey this year, which depicts a day in the West Kimberleys of WA, where the pair are traditionally from. The design, titled 'Saltwater Stories', is deeply connected to their family history and Lawson's journey to the AFL. GOLD COAST The Indigenous jumper Gold Coast will wear for the second time in Darwin on Thursday is designed by local artist Keelan Fejo and is inspired by one of the city's most scenic viewing locations, the Nightcliff Jetty. The Suns also wore it last week against Western Bulldogs. Gold Coast will wear a design first worn in 2024 for the club's meeting with St Kilda in round 11. GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY Designed last year by Gomeroi man Kayleb Waters, the Giants' jumper tells a story of unity and the leadership the Giants take in reconciliation and moving forward as one. The club wore a charcoal version of the guernsey for last year's Sir Doug Nicholls Round but have launched a new white edition for 2025. HAWTHORN Hawthorn's Indigenous guernsey has been designed by Noongar and Yamatji man and the club's Indigenous Player Development Manager, Jamie Bennell. The design is centered around a Hawk in the middle of the guernsey, which symbolises power and strength with an eye for hunting down prey and protecting its nest. NARRM (MELBOURNE) Known as Narrm for Sir Doug Nicholls Round, the Demons' Indigenous jumper was created by Kysaiah Pickett's father and Ngarrindjeri artist, Kevin. The design captures Kevin and Kozzy's connection to their Ngarrindjeri culture, while also showcasing their love of the club, and features the names of all of the club's Indigenous past and present players. NORTH MELBOURNE North's design was inspired by Senior Wurundjeri Elder Aunty Joy Murphy Wandin AO and brought to life by Wemba Wemba, Gunditjmara, Ngadjonji and Taungurung artist Emma Bamblett. The artwork is titled 'walert morrok goattak', which means possum skin cloak in Woi Wurrung language. YARTAPUULTI (PORT ADELAIDE) Known as Yartapuulti for Sir Doug Nicholls Round, both the AFL and AFLW sides will wear the same jumper for the first time, designed by Gavin Wanganeen. The striking design features a teal stripe sits at the centre of the guernsey and represents the Kokatha people's strong connection to to country, the night sky, and stories in the stars. RICHMOND Richmond's jumper was designed by Rhyan Mansell, his father Brett and grandfather Clyde, and tells their story and the story of their Country, lumaranatana down to larapuna, and will be worn for the Dreamtime game at the MCG. Among other details, the hand prints on the back of the guernsey represent Richmond players having each other's backs, on and off the field. EURO-YROKE (ST KILDA) Known as Euro-Yroke for Sir Doug Nicholls Round, the Saints' guernsey was designed by star Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera and tells the story of his upbringing and football journey in South Australia. It also represents his journey to Moorabbin, with surrounding motifs signifying the club's current First Nations players. SYDNEY Sydney's new Marn Grook guernsey has been adapted from the work of renowned Indigenous artist Jordan Ardler. The artwork reflects the Swans community and is an acknowledgement of the Gadigal and Bidiagal lands. It also depicts the journey from South Melbourne to Sydney. WAALITJ MARAWAR (WEST COAST) Known as Waalitj Marawar for Sir Doug Nicholls Round, the Eagles' jumper was designed by Wongutha man Kevin Wilson and Maduwongga and Noongar woman Taryn Woods. The design highlights the importance of family and connection, featuring totems of each of the club's First Nations players' families, along with several connections to the club.
