Jordan Dawson looks exhausted after the siren as he gingerly stretched out his shoulder.
Heaps of the Crows ran to Hugo Hall-Kahan to celebrate his first win.
“We need to work on the kill-the-game mode,” Dawson told Kayo Sports after the final siren.
“We went into save-the-game mode, but they used their numbers to beat it.

“That’s the first time I’ve had a win against Geelong in my time in Adelaide. We set ourselves for this win this week.”
Dawson said he was “a bit banged up” in this clash, but would be OK. He was in tears after the final siren as he took a moment to himself, and it’s little wonder, given everything he’s been through already this season.
