The 2016 AFL season was the 26th season in the Australian Football League contested by the Adelaide Football Club.
Following the conclusion of the 2015 season which was marred by the mid-season passing of previous head coach Phil Walsh due to an alleged murder,[1] former assistant coach Don Pyke was named as the club's new head coach for the 2016 season on 9 October 2015.[2] Scott Camporeale had acted as interim head coach between Walsh's death and Pyke's appointment, but after electing not to apply for the full-time coaching role, reverted to his previous role of midfield coach for the new season.[3]
