It was obvious when watching the Crows throughout 2019 that they were good, but just how good were they? The numbers show the sheer gulf between them and not only the rest of the competition in 2019, but any team in AFLW history - including their inaugural premiership season.

In 2017 Adelaide were averaging the highest scores each week at 41.57 points a game - well above the competition’s average of 31.16 - and kicked at 48% accuracy, yet were not seen as the dominant team throughout the home and away season. Those accolades went to Brisbane who went undefeated through the season - averaging 32 points a game - falling only at the final hurdle.

As scoring increased in 2018 - the competition’s average rising to 34.9 - Adelaide’s reliance on Erin Phillips became apparent. With the star missing the first two rounds of the season, and playing the remaining five rounds through injury, the Crows averaged just 32.86 points a game - the third lowest of any team that year and finished the season fifth with 92.4%.
