Round 1
Adelaide lost their first game of the 2024 AFL season to Gold Coast by 6 points in wet weather conditions. Gold Coast led for the entire match and Adelaide looked very poor, until a late fourth-quarter comeback spearheaded by Josh Rachele and former Sun Izak Rankine gave the Crows a glimpse of hope. Chris Burgess played his first game for the club after being traded from Gold Coast to Adelaide in the 2023 trade period.[15][23]

Round 2
Round 2 marked Adelaide's first game scheduled on a Friday in almost two years. Adelaide came into this game as favourites, despite losing their opening game and Geelong winning theirs. However, Adelaide lost by 19 points with another late comeback falling short due to wasted chances in front of goal.[24]

Round 4
For the second consecutive year, Adelaide hosted the opening game of Gather Round, this time hosting Melbourne. The final margin of 15 points was flattering to the Crows, who were comprehensively defeated across the ground thanks to former Crow Simon Goodwin's coaching. Christian Petracca was the best player on the ground, while young Jake Soligo was impressive for Adelaide.[47]

Round 5
Adelaide won their first game of the season in round 5, largely credited to Matthew Nicks and the variety in his midfield, rotating players such as Jordan Dawson and Rory Laird out and Jake Soligo and Izak Rankine in. Lachlan Gollant was substituted off for the fourth quarter and replaced by Sam Berry, who kicked the winning goal with just over a minute of regulation time remaining.[48] This was Adelaide's first win in Melbourne since 2021.

Round 6
For the third time in less than a year, a late non-decision from the umpires cost Adelaide a chance at winning the game (the first against Collingwood, and the second most famously against Sydney). The morning following the game, the AFL conceded that a free kick should have been awarded to Taylor Walker for a tackle laid on Sam Draper, giving Walker a chance to kick a goal after the siren and win the game.[49] Walker acknowledged that the umpiring decision was frustrating, but also concedes that the Crows' performance was "unacceptable".[50]

Round 10
Izak Rankine, who designed the Indigenous guernsey worn, starred with 30 disposals and a late goal of the year contender dribbled from the boundary, but a Jordan De Goey set shot was the winning score for Collingwood.[32] With less than 30 seconds left, Rankine kicked the ball inside the forward 50, but was pinged for running too far. Controversy stirred as fans began to think it was the fourth game-costing decision in less than a year, but Fox Footy measured that Rankine did indeed run farther than his allocated 15 meters.[54]

Round 19
Zac Taylor kicked his first AFL goal as one of eight consecutive second-quarter goals for Adelaide. Essendon responded with the next five goals in a high-scoring affair. Ben Keays, who kicked a career-best five goals, assisted Josh Rachele in kicking a last-minute goal to lead by four points. Adelaide won by two points in an upset victory to keep their slim hopes for finals qualification alive.[40]
