Hawthorn Hawks vs Adelaide Crows Preview
Adelaide gets another crack at the side that abruptly ended its 2025 finals campaign when it meets Hawthorn at UTAS Stadium on Thursday night. The Hawks famously knocked the Crows out in straight sets with a semi-final win at Adelaide Oval, but Adelaide arrives in far better form this time around after crushing North Melbourne by 68 points last week. Despite missing Riley Thilthorpe, the Crows showcased their forward depth with eight multiple goalkickers and a devastating 10-goal second quarter. Hawthorn, meanwhile, has hit a rough patch after a hot start to the season, suffering a third consecutive defeat with a heavy loss to Melbourne. The Hawks will still draw confidence from their remarkable record in Launceston, where they have won 11 straight matches, including a narrow victory over Adelaide last season.
Head To Head Bet
