Adelaide Crows vs Melbourne Demons Preview

The Crows the betting as $1.65 favourites at the time of publishing and with the game being played in front of an adoring home crowd at Adelaide Oval, Punters expect the Crows to make it a third premiership in the short history of the competition.

There’s no doubting that Adelaide has been the standout team since the AFLW started, with the likes of Erin Phillips winning a couple of League B&F’s along with getting back to her best footy after some injury issues.

Adelaide booked their spot in the Grand Final after a big 14-point win over Freo last weekend, with early dominance in the game ensuring the Crows were on their way.

Erin Phillips kicked the first goal fo the game and is almost someone most certainly to consider for first goal kicker, for which the markets will be available first thing Saturday morning.

That’s not to say Melbourne isn’t a chance.

The Dees have won their past five games heading into the AFLW Grand Final and managed to hold off the Lions by five points in a dramatic Preliminary Final.

The performance of Alyssa Bannan up forward was key in Melbourne’s win, kicking three out of Melbourne’s five goals.

She’s another one to consider for your Same Game Multi’s in this game.

Much attention will also be on Demons skipper Daisy Pearce.

A pioneer of the Women’s game, this will be the 33-year olds first and possibly only crack at winning an AFLW premiership.

If Pearce can dominate in the midfield and help get the ball to Tayla Harris, the combination will play an important role in causing a Demons upset in front of the parochial South Australian crowd.

Tayla Harris will also be keen to make amends, having played in losing Grand Finals for both Brisbane in 2017 and Carlton in 2019, all against Adelaide.

Both of these sides met in Round four of this season when the Dees travelled to Norwood Oval, when both were undefeated.

Adelaide dominated all day, until Daisy Pearce and Harris put something respectable on the scoreboard with the Crows gaining a 14-point win.

Overall, the Crows have been there on Grand Final day and have had the joy of winning and the agony of defeat.

Melbourne has come so agonisingly close over the years and averages just 29.3 points in finals, having lost only the one-last years prelim against the Crows.

Can they cause an upset?

This is a hard game to tip, and I feel with both sides ability to get on the scoreboard when needed, the Over 62.5 points is the best bet available for Punters.
