ADELAIDE is tiring of living off the memory of its bitter, five-point preliminary final loss to Hawthorn last September - the game labelled as showing the Crows were "a kick away from the Grand Final".
The Crows face Hawthorn tomorrow for the first time since that epic final that was supposed to spur Adelaide to another top-four finish, which now seems far away from Brenton Sanderson's group, particularly with the loss of key forward Taylor Walker with a season-ending knee injury.
Crows midfield coach Scott Camporeale today tried to dismiss the notion that Adelaide players are still living off the back-slapping tributes of 2012 when they lifted the club from 14th to second in the home-and-away series.
"To be quite honest, I'm sick of hearing about that," said Camporeale.
"Last year was last year and this club has not achieved anything. All we did last year was gain a little bit more respect back from the competition.
"Playing in the preliminary final was a bonus for us. We understand where we're at - we all have to improve.
"We haven't spoken once about the preliminary final. That's last year. We have more as a club and a team to worry about than what happened last year."
Adelaide's search for answers after a disappointing 2-3 start brought savage internal questioning at West Lakes this week.
"Just clarity," said Camporeale of the result of the frank discussions between players and coaches this week.
"Clarity in what is expected from the individual and the group."
