Preview

Brad Scott's men finally won their first game last weekend, while the Don Pyke led Crows took homeย their sixth straight.

Adelaide's play has been unbelievable to date, with only the Power getting within 20 points of them. Their forward line is the best in the competition, while the midfield is firing on all cylinders. The ability of their back six to create turnovers and quickly rebound has also been crucial.

North Melbourne have been better than their record suggests and we have seen some serious talent from their youngsters. However, their record against the Crows is not great. They have lostย five of their past seven games against the ladder leaders. The most recent clash was in last year's elimination final, a game in which Adelaide won by 62.

The game will be played at Blundstone Arena, which will play in the Roos' favour. Despite this Adelaide should be too strong, and too experienced in this one.

Tip:ย Crows by 34
