An inspirational display from Jordan Dawson has helped steer Adelaide to a dramatic one-point victory over Geelong and into the AFL's top six.
The Crows outlasted their opponents in a brutal contest, prevailing 11.9 (75) to 10.14 (74) at a rain-soaked Adelaide Oval on Thursday night.
There was more score review controversy when Darcy Fogarty was denied a goal from a long-range set shot with less than four minutes left.
But the behind that was eventually awarded put Adelaide in front and ultimately proved decisive, with neither side able to muster another score in the desperate final stages.
Adelaide (7-5) move up to sixth on the ladder with their first win over Geelong in five years, ending a run of six consecutive defeats.
