The retirement of former captain and current key forward Taylor Walker has posed the question: who makes the top 10 players of all-time to represent the "Pride of South Australia"?

Walker finishes his 19-year career with more than 300 games played and 700 goals kicked, to go with an All-Australian selection in 2023, four All-Australian squad seasons, being a seven-time leading goal-kicker and two-time AFLPA best captain.

Adelaide has a long history of stars littered throughout its 35-year history, which includes two premierships across 1997-98.

Players from those glory years feature heavily, but who from the modern day, including the Texan, will make Zero Hanger's top 10 Crows of all-time?

Two honourable mentions fall to former captain Simon Goodwin and superstar Patrick Dangerfield, who would have arguably become number one had he not moved to Geelong.

Hart was another Adelaide defender who shone in the 1990s.

At just 18, Hart won his first (of four) All-Australians, while he would later add two best-and-fairests, and two premiership medals to his CV.

Hart was the first Crow to crack the 300-game mark and currently sits fifth all-time for games played at the club on 311.
