AFL: Crows coach Matthew Nicks has explained the decision behind axing Crows young gun Josh Rachele for their Round 24 clash against Sydney.
Sydney is set to officially clinch the minor premiership as it hosts Adelaide to end both sides’ 2024 home and away seasons.
The Crows will hope to end a disappointing season on a high note by gaining some small modicum of revenge on the team who stole their finals spot in 2023. They come into the game without Josh Rachele, who was surprisingly dropped during the week. Sydney made a crucial late change, with superstar Isaac Heeney “managed” for Saturday night’s clash. He was replaced by Robbie Fox, who was also named Sydney’s sub.It took just James Rowbottom just 45 seconds to kick the home side’s opening goal, snapping under pressure before the ball bounced a favourable 20 metres before going through the big sticks.
