Preview:
Adelaide must win to make finals. But it’s more complicated than that. If Collingwood or Richmond win in Round 23, even a win won’t be enough for the Crows. And if West Coast defeats Gold Coast, Adelaide will need to win and also collect some percentage. – Retiring Lenny Hayes needs eight tackles to break Jude Bolton’s all-time career record of 1490 – The match could be also be the final appearances of Sam Fisher and James Gwilt – The Crows and Saints have met 31 times. Adelaide holds the overall advantage 21-15 – Sunday will mark half-a-million fans attending Crows games at Adelaide Oval this season – Rory Sloane will play his 100th game on Sunday against the team he grew up supporting
