Adelaide Crows vs Western Bulldogs Preview
The Sons of the West are equally as threatening as the Lions right now, and theyve got a top four spot in the palm of their hands if they keep on winning.
Adelaide was valiant against the Cats, and despite holding a two-goal lead in the final quarter, they couldnt hold on.
It has been six years since these sides last met at Adelaide Oval, with the last five encounters out in Ballarat and the COVID hub.
Along with that, the Bulldogs simply havent beaten Adelaide in the Adelaide Oval era, or in Adelaide in general since 2010, so history is against them.
The Crows were able to hold up defensively quite well against the Cats, and while they struggled to contain Jeremy Cameron, their taller forward line is quite brutish in forward contests.
But the biggest difference in this clash is the midfield, with the Dogs simply steamrolling everyone in their way as of recent.
But the Crows can certainly match them being statistically better than the Dogs in stoppage clearances this year, sitting third and fourth respectively.
Jamarra Ugle-Hagan seems off the chain at the moment, and if the Crows couldnt stop Cameron, its hard to see them shutting him down.
The Crows love to generate out the back transition, but the question is how else they can generate enough scoring opportunities to outscore the Dogs.
