The 2009 AFL season was the Adelaide Crows's 19th season in the Australian Football League (AFL).

After falling short of their expectations in 2008, failing to get past round one of the finals and finishing fifth, despite a promising start to the season more effort was needed.

The captain for this season was Simon Goodwin, and the leadership group was Tyson Edwards, Brett Burton, Ben Rutten, Nathan van Berlo, Michael Doughty and Scott Stevens.[2]
