Adelaide Crows vs Hawthorn Preview
Adelaide and Hawthorn square off at Adelaide Oval on Friday night with a preliminary final berth against Geelong on the line. It’s the fifth time the clubs have met in September, the Hawks holding the edge with three wins from four, though this marks their first finals clash in South Australia.
Both sides defended home turf in their regular-season meetings, Adelaide storming back from 32 points down to win in Round 21, while Hawthorn ground out a low-scoring triumph in Launceston. The absence of Izak Rankine looms large for the Crows, with the dynamic forward-midfielder tallying 39 disposals, 14 score involvements and four goals across those encounters.
Adelaide enter under pressure as minor premiers, wary of becoming the first to exit in straight sets under the current finals format. Hawthorn, meanwhile, will draw confidence from history and their ability to turn contests into grinding, defensive battles.
