North Melbourne vs Adelaide Crows Preview
Adelaide will look to cap off a dominant home-and-away campaign with the minor premiership when it meets North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Crows edged Collingwood 59-56 last week in a finals-like contest, extending their winning streak to eight. While Izak Rankine’s suspension has clouded the lead-up, Adelaide needs only to avoid defeat to seal top spot and carry maximum confidence into September.
North Melbourne enters with a rare spring in its step after thrashing Richmond 135-87 in Hobart, marking just their fifth victory of the season. The result was highlighted by Harry Sheezel’s extraordinary 54 disposals, equalling the V/AFL record for most in a single match. History, however, favours Adelaide heavily — the Crows claimed a 114-78 win in Round 3 and have beaten the Roos in seven straight encounters. Expect the ladder leaders to press their advantage once more.
