Adelaide Crows vs Collingwood Preview

Adelaide Oval is set for a blockbuster on Thursday night as ladder-leaders Adelaide host Collingwood in a qualifying final. The two sides met only three weeks ago at the same venue, where the Crows edged the Magpies by three points in a tense Round 23 clash.

Adelaide’s rise from 14th last season to minor premiers has been one of 2024’s biggest stories, with captain Jordan Dawson earning recognition as the AFL’s best skipper. The Crows will be without star forward Izak Rankine, but their nine-game winning streak highlights their depth and belief.

Collingwood, meanwhile, snapped a three-game skid with a gritty win over Melbourne in Round 24 to secure fourth spot, though their form has been patchy over the past two months.

With six consecutive meetings decided by under 15 points and both sides boasting attacking firepower, another thriller looms. Backed by a raucous Adelaide crowd, the Crows look primed to book a home preliminary final.
