Sydney Swans vs Adelaide Crows Preview

Sydney’s finals aspirations are slipping away, and Saturday night’s showdown with a resurgent Adelaide side at the SCG looms as a do-or-die encounter. The Swans were thoroughly outclassed by Melbourne last weekend, crashing to a 53-point loss and falling to a 4-7 record. Once the AFL’s top-scoring team in 2024, Sydney has averaged just 77.1 points over its past seven games—losing five of them in the process.

Adelaide, by contrast, has tightened the screws defensively and now ranks third for points conceded in 2025. The Crows, sitting at 7-4, are riding high after a dominant 66-point win over West Coast, continuing a strong stretch of form that stands in stark contrast to Sydney’s struggles.

Historically, the Swans have had Adelaide’s measure—winning the past six meetings, including two comfortable victories last year—but the gap is narrowing. With rising confidence and a rock-solid defence, the Crows look well-placed to finally snap their losing run in this match-up.
