A new online community for Adelaide Football Club fans is now open.

Check out Crows Nation at www.nation.afc.com.au

What you see now is just the start. Crows Nation will grow and evolve - but the focus is the fans, so get involved and interact with us and each other, and earn points for activity.

Create a profile if you like (register on the top right hand corner), connect and explore. You can also log in using Facebook, Twitter, OpenID or LinkedIn.

Visit the forums and join the general discussion, or post comments in other sections including Questions and Answers, Media Watch, Dream Team, History and Around the AFL. Start writing blogs or articles, upload photos and video, create or join groups, or just read and look at what other fans or Crows representatives are posting. Soon (hopefully next week) you will also soon be able to comment below some articles on www.afc.com.au and these will automatically feed through to Crows Nation.

We know there are plenty of passionate Crows fans out there who have plenty to say, so why not put your content out there to potentially be seen by thousands of Crows fans who visit our official website every week. And don’t forget to tell your friends about Crows Nation, and share content. The more people we can get involved, the busier and fresher the community becomes.

We also plan to be very active on this social media platform from within the Club, using Crows Nation to provide more news and information about your Club and the players. We will also have some exclusive offers, prizes and promotions for the community that won’t be offered anywhere else.

Crows Nation, built on the ONEsite platform, is a space for supporters to share their thoughts on all things Crows. That doesn’t mean you can’t criticise us but we won’t tolerate:

• personal abuse or attacks on players, coaches, staff or other fans
• defamatory comments
• trolling behaviour
• offensive or inappropriate text or images
• Spam and advertising

If you see something that you believe breaks the guidelines, please use the 'Flag' option to alert us so moderators can check and remove it if necessary. We will need supporters’ help in this way if the site is to be kept site safe and sustainable.

All of the staff and players involved will use their names on anything we post and we’d love our fans to do the same. See you there!
