Adelaide Crows vs Collingwood Preview

Collingwood’s grip on a top-four berth is slipping as they prepare for a Saturday night showdown with ladder-leaders Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. The Magpies have dropped four of their last five games, including a demoralising 110-46 loss to Hawthorn at the MCG — their lowest score since 2021.

Adelaide, meanwhile, stretched its winning run to seven with an 87-78 triumph over West Coast, though the performance left plenty to be desired against the bottom side. Recent history, however, leans heavily Collingwood’s way: the Magpies have claimed the past 10 encounters between these teams, most recently a 78-68 victory at the MCG in Round 10 — the fifth straight meeting settled by 10 points or fewer.

With the Crows out to cement top spot and Collingwood battling to avoid tumbling from the top four, this clash promises a high-stakes, high-pressure contest that could once again be decided in the dying minutes.
