Adelaide's three-time AFLW premiership player and former captain Chelsea Randall has announced her retirement because of concussion issues.

This was a Showdown upset that mirrored what Port Adelaide did in 1997 and the Crows' upset win in 2004. Will premiership glory follow like it did in both those years?

In another world Josh Rachele is still playing the round ball game and isn't preparing for Adelaide's Friday night clash against West Coast in Perth.

It still doesn't feel real to Josh Lai — less than two years ago he was best on ground in a suburban footy grand final, and now is a key cog in Port Adelaide's backline.

The victory came scrappy but Port Adelaide's back-to-back wins has identified the key area of their game that they can use to climb back up the ladder, trailing just top of the ladder Fremantle in the space.

Port Adelaide made it two in a row against North Melbourne , while the Crows got back on the winners list over in Perth.

Western Bulldogs midfielder Matthew Kennedy has had his one-match suspension for his bump on Sydney's Caiden Cleary overturned at the Tribunal, but he has been warned he was “lucky” to get it downgraded to a fine.

We've seen the brilliance of Jason Horne-Francis before. But he's never been this good, for this long — and that's despite a pre-season plagued by injury.

Adelaide is seriously weighing up resting star Taylor Walker for the Crows' Friday night blockbuster against Sydney.
