Adelaide Crows vs Melbourne Preview

Adelaide will aim to solidify its top-four spot when it hosts a struggling Melbourne outfit at Adelaide Oval on Sunday afternoon. The Crows responded emphatically to a poor showing in Round 14, dismantling Richmond by 68 points last week, thanks in part to a breakout game from Daniel Curtin and five goals from Riley Thilthorpe. Sitting atop the percentage ladder, Adelaide knows every win counts in the logjammed top eight.

Melbourne, meanwhile, continues to slide, with just percentage separating them from the bottom four. A wasteful outing from Jake Melksham, who kicked 5.6, typified their 19-point loss to Gold Coast. The Demons will take some comfort in their recent dominance over the Crows, having won the past four meetings, including a 15-point win in last year’s Gather Round where Christian Petracca starred.

With contrasting form lines and plenty on the line, this clash could shape both teams’ September hopes.
