Adelaide Crows vs Hawthorn Preview
Adelaide and Hawthorn collide under the Friday night lights at Adelaide Oval in a clash that could shape the top four. The Crows surged into second place with a crushing 98-point demolition of Port Adelaide, powered by Riley Thilthorpe’s Showdown Medal heroics. But they’ll be tested without key defender Max Michalanney, sidelined for up to six weeks with a hamstring injury.
The Hawks, sitting just outside the top four in fifth, kept their charge alive with a gritty win over Carlton. With a daunting August run against the league’s elite looming, Sam Mitchell’s men know every result is crucial. They also hold the psychological edge after edging Adelaide by three points in Round 14, thanks largely to Dylan Moore’s trademark pressure and 13 tackles.
With finals positions on the line and revenge in the air, expect a fierce, high-intensity battle between two sides desperate to cement their September credentials.
