Adelaide Crows vs Collingwood Preview

Adelaide Oval is primed for a Thursday night blockbuster as ladder leaders Adelaide face Collingwood in a qualifying final. Just three weeks ago, the Crows edged the Magpies by three points at the same venue in a tense Round 23 clash.

Adelaide’s transformation from 14th last year to minor premiers has been one of 2024’s standout stories, with captain Jordan Dawson hailed as the AFL’s top skipper. Star forward Izak Rankine will be missing, but a nine-game winning streak underlines the Crows’ depth and confidence.

Collingwood, meanwhile, halted a three-game slide with a hard-fought win over Melbourne in Round 24 to lock in fourth, though their form across the past two months has been inconsistent.

With the last six encounters between these clubs decided by under 15 points, another thriller seems inevitable. Backed by a roaring Adelaide crowd, the Crows appear well-placed to punch their ticket to a home preliminary final.
