Adelaide Crows vs Brisbane Lions Preview
The stage is set for a finals-like matinee game on Sunday between the Crows and Lions.
Adelaide is on the hunt for a bounce-back coming off last week’s unconvincing loss to the Dogs, Matthew Nicks’ side booting an ugly 5 goals 10 in the 45-point defeat.
Brisbane, on the other hand, is arguably the biggest threat to Collingwood following a seventh-straight win over the Suns.
Hugh McCluggage was back to his best during last week’s Q-Clash, while Joe Daniher remains in red-hot form in front of goal, complimenting a midfield that is firing on all cylinders behind Lachie Neale and Josh Dunkley.
The battle up forward promises plenty of fireworks this week with plenty of tall timber down either end. It’s fair to say both midfields are evenly matched also, placing enormous emphasis down back.
The Lions have conceded less than 70 points to three of their last four opponents, while it’s fair to say the Crows would have lost by more last week if the Dogs had kicked straight.
Adelaide is capable of putting up a big score if they kick straight, an area that has proven their biggest hindrance this year.
On the flip side, the Lions have been elite around the clearances as they continue to play an unselfish brand of footy.
This is the kind of win that would really stamp the Lions as a genuine flag contender, and although they’ve stumbled in games like this in the past, it’s much easier to trust their recent form over Adelaide’s troubles in front of goal.
