Adelaide Crows, Aussie Rules Football

The Adelaide Football Club, nicknamed the Crows, is a professional Australian rules football club that competes in the Australian Football League (AFL).[2] The club is based in Adelaide, South Australia, playing its home matches at Adelaide Oval.[3] The club has its training and administration base at Football Park in West Lakes, where it previously played home matches between 1991 and 2013. The club song is "The Pride of South Australia", to the tune of the Marines' Hymn.[4] The Crows were formed in 1990 after a supreme court injunction to halt The Port Adelaide Football Club from entering the AFL and instead the Crows were, effectively, meant to be the 'state team' that was going to represent South Australia in the AFL. They are a composite team originally owned by the SANFL (later gaining independence) and played their first season in 1991.[5][6] They won both the 1997 and 1998 Grand Finals, and have appeared in 15 finals series in their 27-year history.
