The case file is open. The evidence is mounting. And something is seriously missing at Adelaide.

In Episode 31 of Attempted Murder, we investigate the latest losses at the Adelaide Crows, with Butts and Pedler leaving the club and questions mounting about what happens next.

But this investigation goes deeper than departures.

We’re asking the uncomfortable question: what is actually missing from this football club?

The answer might be sitting right in front of us.

Mongrel.

That nasty, uncompromising edge. The refusal to lie down. The instinct to hunt when the game is slipping away. Because when Adelaide is five goals down, where is the flight? Where is the desperation? Where is the bloke who says, “Not today. Not on my watch.”

Other clubs seem to have it. Adelaide, right now, doesn’t.

So we dust off the crime scene, examine the evidence and ask the big question:

Can you build a successful football club without mongrel?

Or is this the one piece of evidence that finally cracks the case?

The Crows are under investigation. The charge sheet is growing. And the verdict is far from in.

ATTEMPTED MURDER — EPISODE 31: THE GRAND FINAL CASE FILE

There’s not a Crow in sight… but make no mistake, there’s a serious crime about to go down.

For this very special Grand Final edition of Attempted Murder, we’re opening the case file on a blockbuster AFL showdown.

On one side of the investigation, the Brisbane Lions are hunting their second three-peat — a repeat offence of the highest order. Can they pull off the ultimate football heist and walk away with another premiership?

On the other, the Fremantle Dockers are chasing the one thing missing from their criminal record: their first-ever premiership flag.

After years of evidence, close calls and unfinished business, they're finally back at the scene of the crime.

And then there’s the jury…

Every Crow fan has a decision to make. Are you siding with the repeat offenders from Brisbane, or backing the Dockers in their bid to commit the ultimate premiership robbery?

The season is officially a cold case.

This week on Attempted Murder, we dissect the evidence from the weekend — a devastating Crows loss that brought our season to a full stop. We investigate what went wrong, examine the crucial moments, and ask the question no fan wants to answer: who, or what, was responsible for this crime.

But the football field isn’t the only crime scene.

The trolls are becoming more vicious by the day, crossing lines that should never be crossed. And this week, our own team captain was the target of a particularly serious attack.

It’s time to call it out.

Because banter is one thing. Abuse, threats and personal attacks are something else entirely.

Society needs to do better.

The case file is open. The gloves are on and this week, there are some uncomfortable truths to investigate.

Somehow, against all odds, the Adelaide Crows have made it to a semi-final.

Yes, you read that correctly. After everything we’ve been through, we’re heading to Brisbane — like it or not!

In Episode 28, we dissect the wash-up from a massive clash with the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval, look at the moments that got us over the line, and ask the important question: why does everyone seem so determined to derail our season?

The media have been on a wayward trail all week, doing their best to find cracks, stir the pot and sink the boot into our beloved Crows. But apparently, they picked the wrong week to mess with The Big Texan.

That’s right — Tex made a citizen’s arrest on a rogue journalist who tried to put the boot into our coach last week. And, thanks to some freshly lifted audio from the scene of the crime on the weekend, we’ve got the evidence!

Expect plenty of Crows passion, conspiracy theories, questionable analysis, laughs and the sort of semi-final optimism that only a group of Adelaide supporters who have somehow found themselves in this position can produce.

The Attempted Murder Podcast – Episode 28.

Brisbane. Here we come.

The evidence is mounting, the suspects are identified, and the question remains…

Can we pull off our first finals victory in years — or will our season become another unsolved case?

Grab your magnifying glass, secure your seat and join us for another episode of Attempted Murder.

The investigation starts now.

The final home-and-away hit-out is in the books, and this week on Attempted Murder, the evidence is pretty damning — Tex Walker was absolutely cooking!

Leroy and Ray are back in the interrogation room to examine Tex’s final regular-season performance, what makes him so bloody good when the heat is on, and whether the great man has more than one big case to solve.

But now the regular season is officially closed, the real investigation begins…

FINALS.

For the second year running, the Crows are heading into September, and the question is simple: can this case finally be closed with the ultimate piece of evidence — a Premiership?

We’ll break down where the Crows sit, who we’re likely to face, what has to go right, and whether this team has what it takes to survive the biggest crime scene of them all.

The evidence has been collected. The witnesses are ready. The finals file is officially OPEN.

The decision to leave Tex Walker out of the side was the call from the Crows coach — and after another costly loss, Leroy and Ray are asking whether the motivation the team needed was sitting right there on the sidelines.

Fresh off the crime scene against top-of-the-table Freo, the Crows have been left to pick through the evidence as Fremantle continue to look like serious contenders for their first-ever Premiership.

Was leaving Tex out the fatal error? Did the selection call hand Freo the advantage? And is Matthew Nicks about to find himself at the centre of the investigation?

Leroy and Ray sift through the evidence, interrogate the decision-making and examine exactly what went wrong at the scene.

This week we are on Holiday so we deep Dive into the history of the Adelaide Football Club. We talk with the 19th Man and roll through some fantastic Crows memories...
