Adelaide Crows vs Carlton Blues Preview
The Blues are trending towards their first finals berth since 2013, but this is still a must-win game for Michael Voss’ side with the Lions, Dees, and Pies ahead over the coming weeks.
Adelaide, meanwhile, has nothing left to play for at this point other than of course, revenge.
The Crows have lost four in a row following last week’s defeat to the Swans, and although they showed some real heart against Collingwood two weeks ago, it’s hard to ignore the fact they lost by 48 points to Carlton back in Round 8.
A return home to the Adelaide Oval should make this one a little more interesting, but when you look back at the stats from that game, it’s hard to back against the Blues.
Adelaide was held to just two points in the second and third quarter, while down the other end, Harry McKay and Charlie Curnow had everything their own way combining for nine goals.
The Crows are a plucky team that would like nothing more than to spoil Carlton’s finals party, but given they’ve given up the third-most goals to opponents this year, this shapes as another big day for two of the Coleman Medal leaders.
