This year, Adelaide currently hold fourth spot but are in a crush of clubs seeking a coveted top-four finish. In contrast, Nicks said the Crows now had a fresh energy ahead of another finals campaign. We still feel like we have got a lot better in us, we haven't hit our best yet," he said. Adelaide's 2020 club champion Reilly O'Brien, who hasn't featured at AFL level this season, loomed as a ready-made replacement. He rarely gets beaten so it's a luxury that we have there if we choose to pull that one," Nicks said.
