Preview:
Collingwood’s season received a shot in the arm last week as the Pies recorded a much-needed win over the Demons.
They’ll now travel to Adelaide to face the Crows on Saturday, a team that continues to flirt with the fringes of the top eight.
The Crows came up 10-points short to West Coast last week, but they certainly gave the reigning premiers a scare away from home.
Now, Adelaide looks to accomplish something they haven’t done since 2016: defeat Collingwood.
This game shapes up as a bit of a coin flip. On one hand, home-field advantage makes the Crows the rightful favourites, but with five home losses to their name at Adelaide Oval this year, anything goes.
Collingwood, on the other hand, remains a mystery. Two cheap wins over the Suns and Dees count for very little, especially this time of year. And with Adelaide pushing for a spot back inside the eight, you can expect the Crows to come out firing.
To their credit, the Pies do deserve the benefit of the doubt away from home. Collingwood is 3-1 outside of Melbourne this year, and with the Crows choosing to live dangerously by not tagging opposing teams’ star players, they might just pay a heavy price against what is still a very talented midfield.
