West Coast Eagles vs Adelaide Crows Preview
A somewhat meaningless battle between West Coast and Adelaide wraps up the round with nothing more than bragging rights on the line.
The Crows will be eager to build on last week’s shock win over Carlton with a big victory on the road, while a win for the Eagles could also prove important currently tied on points with wooden spoon favourites, North Melbourne.
These two clubs have met once already this year, Adelaide prevailing by 31 points with Darcy Fogarty, Shane McAdam, and Tex Walker sharing in the goal-scoring spoils.
Wins have proven hard to come by for both teams this year, but if you had to back one team to win, you’d have to side with Adelaide – despite the fact they haven’t beaten the Eagles in Perth since 2016.
The Crows fell only five points shy to red-hot Collingwood three weeks ago, and although they’ve struggled to hit the scoreboard at times, they’ve still been the best team in the competition when it comes to tackling.
West Coast will take plenty away from their close call against the Suns last week, but this Crows team brings another challenge entirely in terms of pressure.
