Adelaide have dropped Josh Rachele for not having a “team-first focus” in a decision that has angered fans and confused AFL greats. And in another twist to the ongoing story, Rachele liked a post on Instagram that suggested he was “hung out to dry” by the club.

Adelaide dump Josh Rachele after Showdown antics. The 21-year-old stoked the fires in the lead-up to last weekend’s Showdown, playing the pantomime villain when he jokingly claimed Port Adelaide supporters “don’t have many teeth”. He welcomed the boos and issued a faux apology before goading fans on the field, pointing to his teeth while celebrating a goal in the second quarter. Rachele was publicly backed by the club, but then news of his surprise axing emerged on Wednesday night.
