Adelaide Crows vs St Kilda Saints Preview

Could 2025 be the year Crows fans have been waiting for? After falling short of finals last season with a disappointing 15th-place finish, Adelaide’s recruitment drive has been swift and decisive. Adding experienced players like Alex Neale-Bullen, Isaac Cumming, and James Peatling to an already promising core that includes Jordan Dawson, Izak Rankine, and rising star Jake Soligo, the Crows are primed for a bounce-back campaign.

Meanwhile, St Kilda enters its second season under Ross Lyon with plenty to prove. Despite key players Rowan Marshall and Jack Sinclair returning to fitness after interrupted pre-seasons, the Saints will face a tough challenge in the forward line with Max King, Dan Butler, and Liam Henry leading the charge. Given Adelaide’s dominant record over the Saints, having won 13 of the last 15 encounters, the Crows will be confident of securing an early-season victory and sending a strong message to the competition.
