AFL LIVE: Crows get shock as hotel evacuated ahead of must win Dockers clash The Adelaide Crows' team hotel was evacuated yesterday afternoon due to a fire alarm, adding an unusual twist to their preparations for tonight's crucial game against Fremantle.
The cause of the alarm remains unclear. In a season where every advantage counts, the team's decision to rest veteran forward Taylor Walker tonight has already raised eyebrows.
Coach Matthew Nicks admitted that his side may have to rely on wildcard round should they fail to secure a top four spot. The disruption caused by the fire alarm will test the Crows' ability to adapt under pressure.
